While the midterm election is six months away, it seems the campaign circus has already started. The madness has begun, we are force-fed political, local ads every night until we start streaming again.
I was hoping we would have learned from the ugly 2016 campaign but we haven’t. “Crooked Hilary is back again” and the smear campaign against everybody and everything is in full swing.
Conservative Christians -their words not mine- show themselves with riffles. Gentlemen in suits proudly point out they are A+ rated by the NRA. (What does that even mean?) I am not kidding, one or two candidates are particularly proud of it.
Being a Christian and a politician sounds a bit like a nun in a whorehouse if you ask me -but what do I know.
Interesting enough they just don’t go after the other party, they go after each other in the same way. The Democrats have not started their campaign circus -yet- but I am quite certain they won’t be any better.
Am I the only one who would like to know what people stand for? Am I the only one who wishes political ads would have more substance?
And while we are at it, why isn’t there a law demanding that all political ads show the sponsor at the end?
This candidate was bought by the Pharmaceutical industry and will vote in their favor until another lobby will make a better offer.
Wouldn’t that change everything? Well, I am allowed to dream.
I am tired of shouting and yelling. I am tired of finger pointing. I yearn for substance, content, and respect.
I hear ya! 🙂 🙂 A Labour candidate knocked on our door yesterday. They are responsible for serious mishandling of funds locally, and there’s a local election here today. I don’t think they’ll be back, somehow.
Oh dear, did you upset him? 🙂
The other half did. 🙂 🙂
I do not envy you, here in the UK it is just the same. Back biting back stabbing and well, Politicians it seems are cut from the same cloth both sides of the pond.. They would not know the word Truth, if it came up and bit them.. <3
The cartoons made me laugh out loud. The midterms are a long way from us, but politics is the same throughout the west – cereal-box selling without any nutrition.
So well said – we have just lost a Home Secretary for “inadvertently” misleading the House. I just wish someone would have the honesty to say “I lied”
Here in the U.S. it is a daily spectacle now. Fake news and lies are the new normal and we would point it out more.
I love the cartoon at the end! I’m involved in my local Democratic party, and I can tell you that the infighting is already starting (or still continuing?) there. It makes me dread the elections…I wish people would stop the finger pointing and blame game about 2016 for just one flipping second and concentrate on actually doing some good for our country and community…
While I dislike one side a lot I don’t see anything promising on the other. Does that make sense?
The democratic party has now the chance to rise up and I fear they won’t. Pelosi and many others, have done good, but it’s time for them to retire (my opinion)
It totally makes sense. The Dems have such an opportunity, but they’re not doing a good job of inspiring people. It’s not enough to just be anti-Trump.
“It’s not enough to just be anti-Trump.” Exactly
We are following close behind you. Oh joy!
LOL
