Re:Politics 101 (Score 1)

Sorry, but this sounds like the "we're losing because they are meaner than we are" argument. I have heard it from both sides, and it seems to me that both sides are pretending to be the only virgins left in the whore house. Yes, politicians can be very calculating when it comes to projecting 'outrage'. Yes, they may not really believe the arguments they are making in any given debate. But there are men (and women) of good will on both sides of most debates who honestly believe what they (the men and women of good will) are saying. They really think that the facts they are citing are the only facts that matter in the issue, and that the other side is just full of sh*t.
