WE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE

Talking heads bemoan the nastiness of the current political campaigns.

We are told that never before have such ugly things been said about the competing candidates.

b.o. says ludricous things about his background and his opponent and about what he would do when and if elected.

Even the McCain forces occasionally issue pathetic condemnations.

And we are informed that never, never in the history of American politics have any such goings on been seen.

What a bunch of bull sh.t!!!!!!!!

Get a volume of 18th or 19th Century political speeches and see what the contenders said about each other.

Again, that the current pundits foist such exaggerations and even distortions upon the public is bad enough, but even worse is that the public is so ignorant that it believes them.

It has never been truer that a nation gets what it deserves in the leaders it elects.

That the polls are so evenly divided is evidence that we are a nation of politicallly ignorant voters who cannot tell fact from fiction, truth from lies.
