Are We Conditioned For Lies?

Yes last night another hollow debate filled with exaggerations, distortions and outright lies. Need some, ok 100% of your adds are negative, no 73%. Still a lot but not 100%. Oh and by the way your very own 61%. Not a real stretch from 73%.

Yes and one will balance the budget while the other will spend billions. Only one real question, how? Yes and I'll create jobs, I know how. Is that right, where are they since you have been around 40 years? The other well more of the same. The Easter Bunny parade in living color.

As for that bailout they both take credit for pushing through as if we Americans are happy about that. It says a lot about them. Well that a million dollar trip followed by another $450,000 trip, followed by an $86,000 hunting trip to England by those very same AIG executives, all after the help arrived and of course " all planned before the bailouts" went ahead anyway. Any one ever hear the word cancellation? Of course now our, oh I'm sorry YOUR candidates are saying we should demand repayment. Yea, go get it. Yes just like those bad mortgaged homes will be around and turn a profit up the road. That is if they aren't torn apart, termites and mold don't get them or a hurricane doesn't come through and destroy them, with no insurance. Hey we don't want eyesores all about that drag down the value of our homes now do we? What value. Most lost 60 to 70% of their value and an investor will offer you 25 to 30 cents on a dollar. Yes good people those investors. Hey they're debt free, its just your not. Oh, I forgot you own their debts. Oh well that is the way it goes.

Yes and Are we conditioned for lies? After all that is our culture today, expected. Yes along with everything else. After all they all do it. It kind of sums up just who we are. Really, don't run, don't get mad, you most likely agree with it and you most likely expect it, or if not your really not doing anything about it, why bother, they are all the same, right? Hey both are no good, right? In fact all are no good as 94% of us say. What choice do we have, right? Like I said, they're all the same right?

Oh, heck why say anymore. Does it really matter, not in the least.
