Politicians must be thick skinned.

One price they pay for the "power" which their political position affords them is the necessity to listen to the concerns and grievances of their constituents, who are given very wide latitude when airing them, due to "Freedom of Speech."

The concern of course is: when you act to abridge or curtail free speech, where do you draw the line?
