The most effective bullshit.

Our national mid-term election is only 6 months away. And the polls indicate that the Democrats are falling out of favor. And that maybe the Republicans are rebounding. Which, of course, is very sad. But if Democrats are smart, they'll spend the next half year bad-mouthing the Republicans. In the same vociferous way that the Republicans chastise the Democrats. It's time for an unholy political war. No holds barred. Yes, let it get downright nasty. Smart politicians know that the American electorate tends to be stupid. And ill-informed on issues. Therefore, public opinion is largely formed from simple sound bites. Calculated to sway the idiot majority. If that sounds cynical -- well, it is. That's exactly what we've come down to in good old America. We believe anything we're told. That is, if we are told often enough. We really don't have the ability to objectively analyze issues. And come to an intelligent conclusion. Yes, in the end, the winners are the ones with the most effective bullshit. --Jim Broede
