The problem with the large amount of mostly semi-anonymous political advertisements isn't the self serving lies and out of context truths made to appear like lies,but the pushing the envelope idea that nothing is to be believed.
It has long been noted that Carl Rove doesn't care if you believe in his attack style ads.He just wants to supplant your faith with doubt.
Put enough doubt into a formally held belief and it is easy to plant a new idea.
That's why this political cycle is so filled with totally false slogans and totally out of context sound bites that make you think someone like president Obama is for some negative when he is really against it.
A great example of this is that the President wants to take away the military's right to vote early in Ohio.AS I posted earlier on Face Book to someone whom voiced his hatred of Obama over this very stance-the idea is quite simply and out and out lie:
Bill,here is the truth:the Republicans tried to pass a law stopping all early voting except for military personnel .Their reasoning behind this was in the last election, most early voters voted Democratic. Obama opposed this bill because early voting was important to the elderly, the sick,those in college,and those that were disabled. The Republican bill was not passed, NOWHERE HAS THE MILITARY VOTE EVER BEEN THOUGHT OF BEING TAKEN AWAY! The trick in the telling, is in saying Obama opposed the bill...the bill that took early voting away from many many people BUT NOT THE MILITARY! Republican leaders are mis-leading the people they want to vote for them,not leading them! You, Bill,should be asking why are your leaders mis-leading you instead of being good leaders?
Don't believe me...click HERE.
The fact that the Republican pulpits know this issue to be out and out false and still do nothing to dismiss it in itself is very telling.
It can-in fact must-be assumed that there is opposition to these falsehoods within the Republican party.This is not the average tit for tat bantering of most other political campaigns.This is not just misusing data to your benefit.This is a first:this is out and out knowingly totally 100% lying.
That no Republican has spoken against this evil practice can only mean a few different things.That the whole party wants Obama out at any cost can not be one of them.There is too much vocal complaining and outrage against President Obama's own old fashioned twisting of data ads for that idea to be sound.There are Republicans that recognize fairness.
It is more likely that the right is so in line with the top power mongers,that like new recruits in boot camp they are afraid to step out of line because the consequences would be too harsh.
This argument is more compelling to anyone that has watched any of the Republican primaries with any interest.Well thought of Republican elder statesmen lost their long held seats to young pups just because these elder state men dared to glance in the democrats direction:These elder-many many year Republican congressmen were deemed not Republican enough!
These elder state men dared not to ask,''How high?'' when told to jump by very powerful people within their own party.
This leads to one to ask,just who is more powerful than a United States congressman with a long held seat?
You just have to follow the $$$.Unlike the more eschewed and divided Democratic party{which many Democrats view as a good thing},the Republicans more and more are looking like puppets of the very rich and powerful few.
Step out of line and you get stepped on!
I don't know about you,but I prefer my government representatives to govern with a mind somewhat of their own.
Sure,there may appear to be more power when it is controlled by a very powerful few.But in our United States republic power is supposed to be controlled by the people for the of the people.
The government isn't here so much to make money as to provide a service for it's people!
How can we vote-why should we vote-for people or persons afraid to speak when they know something within their own party is wrong?!?
They fly their banners that say,'Don't tread on me!',and 'Live Free Or Die!' ,yet if they even breath wrong they are replaced!
I have to ask,Mitt,if I vote for you,how does this in any way mean you will represent me at all in any way?!?
I can't see how it will.Maybe President's compassion for the poor(Obamacare) is his weakness.But I choose to vote for a man than a puppet!
