As another voting season arrives, the political ads increase. The voters of America (and probably other places) apparently don’t get it. We are fed misinformation on major and minor issues then we run with it as if its true. This has been a pattern in politics for years but we still fall for the same old tricks. Politics is about preying on the fears of the people by plying the air waves and print with poor to misinformation, even outright lies. These tactics allow them to side step real issues and their own failings. When the public realizes the truth, it is already too late. I challenge the voters to throw off this mantle of manipulation they have worn for so long and really read and understand the issues for yourself. It is easy to promote an agenda using fear tactics but to promote the truth is difficult because the truth has no glamour. To progress means learning something different and new (even changing your own thinking ) and without progress nothing changes. The Congress of the United States and all other political appointees have no interest in giving you the facts as this would not benefit them. We have voted them in time after time on  poor information and political rhetoric. The truth is always better than a good sounding lie!
