You've probably never sat and watched C-Span. Neither have I. At least not alot. I do regularly see clips from C-Span and I find it rather amusing.People will use graphs that look appropriate for second graders. It isn't just the graphs and ridiculous presentations, it is the juvenile quality of the discourse.
People don't seem to argue about important things, politicians make comments that they know will make good sound bytes. Making an eloquent argument about the way that public healthcare will lead to a lower quality of life may seem like a good way to convince people of your point, but shouting, "Hitler-Bama wants to kill your grandma" is actually much more commenly employed.
In a country with near hundred percent literacy and relatively high levels of education, why do we belittle all of our arguments to stupid one-liners.
I think we enjoy the comfort of the beliefs that our parents had, if we come from a democrat family, we will be democrats. But there is more than that, it makes the politicians job, something that should be very difficult, rather easy.
Bush waon the 2004 election amidst a questionable war by continuing to say that "the homosexuals want to steal your marriage." Well alot of good christians got scared and voted for GWB. It is easier to get angy and yell your points than to actually create a menaingful dialogue. God Bless America...
