Next week there will be a special election and there are some initiatives on the ballot. I have read the voters' handbook and made decisions on how I am going to vote. In deciding, I ignored the TV commercials because they are not very truthful anyhow. :cool:

One ballot measure is about changing the way lines are drawn for congressional districts and seats in the legislature. Until now, politicians have set the boundaries and, like all politicians, they want to get re-elected so they draw the lines the way to help themselves. Of all the ballot measures, this one is lied about the most. :mad: The anti forces, who are all politicians and their minions, have carried on a strong campaign against them, and that campaign includes more lies than any other, maybe more than all others combined. If I didn't already know, that would be proof on just how dishonest politicians are. :mad:

If enough voters believe their outrageous lies, they might win yet.
 
If this were a democratic country, gerrymanderers, powermongerers, and those who tamper with the electoral process would be yanked out of their mansions, dragged through the streets, and summarily executed.

Oh well. Yay to the oligarchy raping America.
 
Hold on a second here. Do you think politicians are going to tell the truth? Why that goes against the rules. It said so in the book of political rules I had, before someone stole it.

The politicians lie to us because we want them to lie to us.

Unseemly to bitch about it.
 
Tom Clancy wrote one of the most truthful lines about politicians that I've ever read. It was from "The hunt for Red October"

I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and liar. When I'm not kissing babies, I'm trying to steal their lolipops.

LOL funny. Change it to politicians lie because thats why we elected them and pay their PR people ( almost the same thing) not to mention their cabinet $170 for each luncheon to keep us uninformed. :D
