And I agree with whoever, no more Bush....no more Clinton for Gods sake either. McCain is worthless and so is Kerry. We need someone completely seperated from either party and we will never see that. We are screwed.
If I may correct you Yeager. We allow ourselves to be screwed.
And Hang, no one will vote for a politician unless they are a sell-out. We demand they lie to us, or we will not vote for them. No one wants to hear the truth. Well, the majority of people do not want to hear the truth. Of course, "the truth" is different to different people, depending on the news service they rely on. Sheesh. How can anyone make any decisions on who to vote for?
We have politicians who just flat-out lie to us. We have media services, so called "news agencies" who all have a political slant "If it ain't newsworthy, make it up!".
Could you imagine a law which holds politicians accountable for thier claims/promises when they run for office? Hehe. That would be a trip.
How about news agnecies who actually reported the news? Whoa. That would be different. Of course, they would fail miserably as poeple want fanfare, conflict, lies, and more lies!
We, the people, have created this mess. The politicians and news services are only giving us what we want, or what they believe we want. And we do not have the backbone to stand up and declare, "We are not going to take it any longer". We are simply a pathetic lot. And this microcosm proves it everyday.
