In The News: McCain, Hillary, Obama Oh My!

[EternalEnigma21]

Usually when it comes to govt. I'm a "less is more" kinda guy, which pretty much puts me in line with the Republicans. Especially when it comes to moral issues like gun control and abortion rights, however I've lost faith in the Republican leadership. I really think we need a change of pace. Keeping things as they are in this country aren't an option. We're not exactly living in ethiopia over here, but we're moving in the wrong direction and we need to right the ship.

As far as using political issues to gain public opinion, I just feel that America is duped into thinking that the Republicans are the only way they're going to be safe. I feel the same way about the news commercials that say shit like, "Your child could die tomorrow. Find out more at 11"

I know people who watch the news constantly and worry to death about things that they needn't, just because fear tends to breed consumption, and salespeople (whether it be by politicians or news people) use this to exploit the "sheep".

On a side note I had the culligan man in my house to test my water last month. Turns out I don't really need anything. He could have tried to scare me into buying something but he didn't. I've turned him onto 3 people since then who have bought water systems for their house because he was a nice honest guy. Had he been a D bag and told me how my water wasn't safe for my kids because of "microbacteria" I woudlve just sent him packing.
