I completely agree I2. And lately it seems that, that sidebar, has had many threads that sound sane and intriguing....as if they may contain viable information, pertinent to decision making for this election. Sadly that is rarely the case.
Here is a which came first, the chicken or the egg type question...
Did the candidates learn from the populace to disrespect, lie about, distort the issues, hide agenda's and not mean or stand behind what they say, or did the populace learn from them?
Was there ever a time when our elected representatives had the courage to stand for what they believe and risk disapproval?
Yes, I know they can't do any good if they don't get elected, and there is always compromise (more like sell out these days) in politics, but wouldn't it be refreshing to have a politician you could trust?
Sorry, I am pretty cynical these days, but I do mean what I say...course I am not running for any office.
