People are being so disingenuous about this bitter thing

[datopbanana]

Ed Rendel was on some show saying how he just couldn't understand how Obama could think people's faith was based on their bitterness.

Give me a breaaaak.

This is why people are turned off by politics. It's saturated with lying, misleading, deceit, and being disingenuous and in politics IT'S THE NORM.



Obama's only mistake was that he gave these liars on opening. He condensed the "What's wrong with Kansas" theory into one sentence when it's really an argument that takes hundreds of pages to properly address.



If any of you aren't yet so sucked into politics to be blind to the truth...

1. I did not read that was what he meant.

I am just lost this whole thing.

2. You know, that's what pisses me off about this whole thing...

People don't take the time to actually listen to what he says but only to what the pundits say. Sure, he happened to use a poor choice of words in this particualr instance, but if any thinking person listens to him talk they would surely not come to any conclusion that he is some sort of "elitist".

I'm so fed up with the soundbite ruling the discourse. It's bad when they do it to Hillary as well. It just totally pisses me off. They look for one or two poorly worded statements to try to tear these decent Democrats down. Grrr...

3. This is the echo chamber

workin for McInsane and Hillary.

But it is the same bunch of MSM yoyos that were agreeing that Rove had the real numbers in 06. They are breathing each other's stale air, and are anoxic.

They will be just as shocked when we hand the neocons their asses in November.

4. You mean like everyone jumped on Senator Clinton about her telling a story second hand

and not actually giving too many details yet the second the WaPo tells the world those details she left private she is the evil one?

Maybe he is right and people are bitter so they cling to things.

And maybe he is wrong. But frankly, this entire election has been about giving one person a pass on way too many things and treating the other as the embodiment of evil.

5. "The answer to `What's the matter with Kansas' is not that there's something the matter with Kansas,

"The answer to `What's the matter with Kansas' is not that there's something the matter with Kansas," Garin argued. "There's something the matter with Democrats who

can't make a connection with voters whose economic interests are closely tied to what the Democratic Party stands for."
