Politics, like the media, has less to do with facts and more to do with what people want to hear. Note that those in her audience were fully in agreement with her statement. They did not want facts as that would have clashed with what they wanted to believe. Sigh.

Okay, seriously; if she is elected President, mark my words, I am leaving the country!

You're right Marla, in many ways. If Hillbilly the Hag gets elected prez of this country, there will be no country left. You could just stand in your beautiful mountain-view backyard and you'd already have left the country.

Too true, Bill, and the really sad truth is that when people are patronized they vote on those perceptions; They’d rather pick one thing and cling to it than think about what really matters. How many people cast their votes based on an altruistic ideology? It’s either party-line allegiance or some self-serving micro-agenda that motivates most voters. Given the choice between what’s good for the country and society or whether the new guy might cut gas prices a few pennies, I suspect that a large portion of voters would choose the latter. And the selfish masses are led by the self-serving PACS-- Do the NRA, NOW, NAACP or the Teamsters take an inventory of the candidates to determine who is a moral, righteous person and a strong leader? Their endorsements are based purely on furthering their agendas, no matter how evil the prospect may be.
