My view exactly Nuance. The US election system has started to rub off over here, parties putting eachother down ahead of outlining their own policies, propoganda and ultimately, nothing but bullshit 24/7 from all sides.

It's a sad world we live in when politics is not so much about making the country a better place then power and control, appeasing as much of the public you can until your in the hot seat.
The word "sheep" seems to be chucked around a lot but to me, anyone who is drawn in to politics by all the false promises and propoganda is a sheep, and that includes both liberals and republicans. The difference I see is that liberalism appears remotely based around peace whereas Republicans are only out for numer-uno.
The scandal of the Iraq war couldn't be any more obvious, the only way I see anyone accepting otherwise is if they believe their country deserves the best (which, as everyone knows, is very common in America). Who gives a fuck about Iraq when America needs to prosper? Such is the ideology of the Republican in a nutshell.
