I think his all trickles down to the fact that politicians think they can pull the wool over our eyes b/c they know we don't know the issues.

And they are right, most of America (and it's true in all countries, not just here) don't want to spend the time looking for the issues, instead they rely on soundbites and t.v. shows to give them thier daily "news".

And we could all fix this by just caring and giving a damn.
