I have finally been drawn in to the Political Discussion.
VK, you have posted an excellent response. The portion I have repeated above should be repeated over and over. We buy our cars, laundry soap, insurance, toothpaste, etc., etc. based on the most convincing ads. Now, as you so aptly mention, we are electing our governing bodies the same way with the added help of sound bites and talking heads. We are being grossly mislead by both sides.
