To prove a point, we have had several high profile Government figures whose actions and words created chaos and ruined lives based on what they and their constituents thought was proper for us , the American public. We have survived, J edgar Hoover, Senator Mc Carthy, Newt Gingrich and R.M. Nixon along with others not so well known, yet we still fall for the same old lines and follow like Lemmings to the sea. In a time when our major focus should be on what our Congress is doing in the line of moving the country forward we are being assailed with half truths and speculation by our elected Congress who to a man and woman are seeking to wield power in the legislature but not for us, the voters. It takes less energy to tell the truth than to fabricate information about an opponent or situation that serves to capitalize on our biases which only serve their interests. Are we all so shallow that it only takes a semblance of truth to get our attention? The political spectrum is a lot narrower than we know and an aspirant for a position will use what ever is necessary to gain office then work the agenda that best suits their needs.
