Lies, half-truths, and misleading political memes.
I'm sick of hypocrisy from our politicians, and our citizens.
I'm sick of politics being more of a sport with people cheering for 'their team', than actually being concerned with facts and issues.
It's probably not a popular viewpoint around here, but it happens on both sides. D's lie, R's lie, and supporters on both sides lie.
People rage about the lies that 'the other team' spews, but ignore the lies coming from their own side. Not everybody does it, and inb4 someone thinks I'm accusing anyone here, I'm just ranting about the lies and hypocrisy that are a cancer to our political process.

(83 posts)Can only happen if we have a public that wants to be informed. I'm convinced that the vast majority simply don't care enough.
I see it from supporters of every candidate. 'Their' candidate is always telling the truth. 'That other guy' is always lying. There are far too few free-thinking citizens who look at the facts objectively.
