The Shame of Politics

Politics are always a mess. People are usually very passionate about certain issues or completely ignorant of them. That being said I think these two videos show a side of things that people need to be aware of.

1) Politicians are two-faced and deploy quite a bit of doublespeak. I don't think Obama and Hilary are devoid of this either but since I'm more liberal leaning I'm more prone to show that the Conservatives are just all over the place. Personally I really respected McCain in the 2000 election cycle even though I didn't agree with him - since then he has fallen into "towing the party line" and being a former shell of his independent thinking self. Sad really.

2) Voters are idiots. By no means do I claim to be well informed on the issues - not by far. However, watching the video of potential West Virginia voters is infuriating because they claim to be Democrats but would easily switch to voting for a Republican because of perceived notions that they just completely made up. The rampant racism and ignorance (i.e. you have to be a natural US citizen to be President lady, duh) is infuriating.

That's it for today.. must get back to work but hopefully this will get people talking somewhat.
