When Does It End?

The lying has got to stop. Where can I find a television channel with truly no spin when it comes to guests? Why do the networks keep putting these pundits in front of me to play stupid or blatantly lie to my face?

Barack Obama screwed up. He said the republicans were trying to scare Americans away from his candidacy because he “doesn’t look like those presidents” on the currency. That is true. The McCain campaign were “outraged” that Obama would play the “race card.” Then the Obama campaign denied the original message of that comment was because Obama is an African-American.

Where do I start, the fact that John McCain was outraged? Ha! He’s not outraged, its just another attempt at the joyless and imagination-less McCain campaign cannot possible come up with any other response because they WERE TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE into voting for him.

And then, Obama’s campaign tried to say they weren’t insinuating the obvious. Hopefully, whoever made the denial did it with a slight smirk when telling us that.

Now, as I listen to all of the weekday night cable news shows, I’m faced with pundits from each side of the political spectrum trying to convince me they’re right. And the host’s are barely doing a thing to call the idiot’s out on it.

Why not stop booking these paid campaign consultants? They just end up looking like fools anyway? Why not book a few college students to come on? Ones that aren’t carrying the recent talking points from the respective campaigns. Just political science majors that can discuss how the rest of society may be interpreting what is going on rather than adding to the hills and hills of moist bullshit.
