Some politicians know no shame.

Take something that’s good. Bad mouth it. Over and over. Eventually some people will start to believe. That good is bad. Just because they’ve been told so. A hundred times. Yes, bad mouthing is an effective political tool. People can be swayed. To accept a lie as truth. They’ve been told many, many times that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is bad.  That it should be repealed. Because it’s bad, bad, bad. A sacrilege to the American way. Yes, people are easily duped. By political sound bites. Full of misinformation. Outright lies. Unfortunately, one sees bad mouthing used in many political campaigns. Republicans and conservatives are adept at it. They attempt to bad mouth Obamacare to death. But this time it ain’t gonna work.  Obamacare will survive. And thrive. Because most of us will see the truth. And the malicious deception. But some will still believe the bad-mouthed stuff.  That Obama is a Muslim. A communist, too. That he wasn’t even born in the USA.  Bad mouth. Bad mouth. Bad mouth. Some of the atrocious lies will stick. It’s immoral. It’s deceitful. It’s obscene. But still, it’s a basic tool of American-style politics. Some politicians know no shame. –Jim Broede
