The political adds on TV are getting to the point of nonsense! If we were to believe what they all say, none of them are fit to be in office for anything except maybe writing for the Enquirer!
The government regulates or has their hand in everything that goes on in this country but they have a hands-off approach when it comes to campaign promises and their slanderous adds. A little accountability should be expected for an individual trying to secure a position that will impact thousands of people.
What if we applied for jobs and in order to beat out the other guy for a position we spread malicious rumors and dug up skeletons from his past, or God forbid we reveal he lead a less than perfect life prior to applying for the job! We'd get sued! Which means we broke the law. And at the very least banned from working at the company we applied at and probably blackballed from many others.
So why is okay for politician's to act this way? Are they above the law? At the very least, shouldn't they have morals and compassion for others? These are the people we elect and sent to Washington or Springfield to represent us. They speak for us and bring (hopefully) concerns, issues, and our needs to the President, Governor's, or house of Congress. If we can't trust the person who has been chosen to represent us, how can they speak for us?
Grow up! That's the message we need to send to the politician's! Lying should be punished with a time-out, that includes no pay while in trouble. After all ,we are adults.
