Of course no one is telling you, that would spoil the fun, get it?This is one of the core reasons I admit I really don't understand politics. Surely people know they're being manipulated. Don't they? When a politician or politico is being interviewed, surely we know all they're doing is spinning. Don't we? When we see/hear a politician/politico/pundit make a "point", surely we know they're highlighting only what supports their "point", and ignoring/avoiding/distorting all information that is contrary to their argument, don't we?Please, madam Secretary, I know you feel you have to pander, but please, try to hang on to SOME dignity here.
Pandering confuses me. These people are being insulted by the implication that all a politician has to do to get your vote is to compliment whatever groups you are in and kiss the collective ass.
Why would anyone vote for someone because they did that?
IF someone picked a red headed VP to pander to red heads like me, I think I would tell them to fuck themselves.
I'm really not sure.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder if this is all just a big game, and no one has told me.
