In politics, virtually anything goes.

I don't like the nature of politics. It's evil. Mean-spirited. Kind of an anything goes mentality. Dirty tricks. Lies. Deceit. In most walks of life, we expect honesty. And objectivity. And fairness. But in politics, we allow everything that's bad. That's the way it is. Always has been. Always will be. And to think, that's the way we run our governments. It's an accepted way of life. Where separate rules prevail. Downright dirty. Corrupt. Where we expect lying and conniving. Cheating. Why is that? Why do we tolerate it? We wouldn't in other walks of life. But in politics, virtually anything goes. --Jim Broede
