Iowa is making me sick.
Down to the wire and the candidates are showing their true colours. Those of mud-slinging, the other guys are crooks (or zombies?) so you better vote for me.
I have to applaud Fred Thompson for (seemingly) trying to stay out of the in-fighting.
“While all this hullabaloo is going on around me and everybody’s attacking each other and everybody’s talking about process and who’s got the most political ambition to drive them, I’m just going to stay steady up the middle with the same conservative, common-sense message that I’ve had and what I’ve always been in my political life from day one,” he said.
I know I’m an idealist, but to me it is rather shocking how much battle goes on within parties that are supposed to be working towards common goals. There is less of goals being thrown about than there is warnings should you vote for the wrong person. It’s not about who’s going to do the best job, or who’s goals are most aligned with yours, it’s about who you can’t vote for because of dirt and fear.
Truly a pitiful state for a democracy to be in.
