[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 134418, member: 2189"] hoser, I don't disagree but that is the nature of American politics in our day and age. Until the American voter shows another mindset outcome at the polls on election day it will continue. We had a race in my State for Statewide judge where one candidate accused the other of suing family members and it was painted to really look bad. The accused candidate then produced court documents showing his lawsuit had to do with maintaining life support for his mother as per her wishes. Now you can debate the interpretation of people's wishes and desires and how family members act on that but I don't see this family issue as something of any concern in an election campaign. Now I have no plans to vote for either one of these folks so I have "no dog in that hunt" but this is just one of 1000's of examples we are bombarded with during any election cycle and we react at the polls that tells the political machine to keep doing the same. Until we stand up and throw them such a curveball that sets them back a 100 years we will see things only get worse. I started watching this past Sunday night a series on ancient Rome at it's political leaders throughout it's life and so far they've gotten through Nero and will conclude this coming Sunday. It's truly alarming the paralells between ancient Rome and our American experience. I'm truly saddened that we've learned nothing from history and appear doomed to only repeat it over again. I dare say we aren't the intelligent and advanced civilization we think we are. JMHO [/QUOTE]
