Less Filling/Tastes Great Politics
When it comes to what is presented as political debate in this country it seems all that the networks and news channels have to offer basically boils down to a "Less Filling" v. "Tastes Great!" debate. Rather than offer criticism of their own positions, we as viewers are offered a feeble if the Dems are for it, it must be bad and vice-versa. A great tool for politicians in DC. Rather than have any substantive review of their records, the media and the citizenry are caught up in the whose up, whose down horse race. My career has been in support of free-market republican principles, but I hope that I can offer more than the sad shouting heads that fill our prime time line up.
