Lies all around!

Why is it that people on the left are willing to believe their candidate is the second coming while lambasting the opposition for lying and the people on the right are willing to blind themselves into believing their candidate is angelic while also accusing the opposition of lying. Not only does this involve the politicians themselves, it involves us, the people. We constantly buy into our own candidates lies and blind ourselves to the truth that politicians don't care about us, they only care about getting elected. I see this attitude all too often. Perhaps this is why I do not write official endorsements. I pretty much always feel that, no matter who I'm voting for, I'm missing out on something. That's because I actually bother to do fact checking on occasion and so I know that both Presidential candidates, but worse than that, ALL political candidates have, are or will lie. It is a simple matter in politics. They make promises to get elected, but can't deliver them so they've broken a promise. In addition, they want themselves to look good and their opposition to look bad, so they exaggerate (lie) about their own and their oppositions positions in order to achieve that goal. I find it very sad that so many people vote for their parties candidate whoever it is rather than voting on principle. I think we all need to decide what we really believe and then do the best we can at determining which candidates best fit our beliefs and vote for them since it is impossible to find anyone who agrees with you 100 percent, unless you yourself are running for office, then there'll be at least one :)
