Unfortunately, todays politics is no longer about truth and honest presentations of ideas.
No. It's more about who can afford to spend the most $$ on studying how to mold themselves to a model of public opinion. A model that their analysts will recommend appealing to.
This effect has GIVEN us politicians like george bush and bill clinton. If this effect keeps going, who knows what we'll end up with. More screwballs like these two.
Certainly no one decent or honest.

Amen. I can remember watching the 2004 debates between Bush and Kerry while sitting and thinking to myself..."Are these seriously the best we can do? Are they honestly what most people believe are the most qualified for the job?" and shaking my head in disbelief.
It has become a popularity contest, much like high school class nominations. The "football players" who skipped the first week of Government class are running and winning for presidency while the "nerds" are boo'ed and jeered into oblivion, while wondering just what the hell is to become of the class funds.
