politics...politics
Hey!!!
Following through the elections in the US with Democratic National Convention just past week and the Republican National Convention currently going on...there seems to be no end to how low people can get in politics ...trying to get as personal as it can...and then there are the news channels milking news and creating and sensationalizing news ...every bit of it...even if there ain't any...repeatedly updating news from ground zero...where in there is little or no change really on ground...every channel speculating on the prospects...of the development...none bi-partisan ...
Every party is making their own point... and defending their own policies and attacking the opposition.... experience or lack thereof...and my best quote comes from my favorite TV show hosts...Stephen Colbert of the Comedy Central's talk show, Colbert Report, stated in his program on 29th August 2008 and I paraphrase in here...that Sarah Palin is being used as a cheap political ploy....but he goes on to say that this is historic and probably this is the "for the first time in America, a woman has reached the highest level of being used as a cheap political ploy"
allegations ...counter allegations... blames and refutations...all is fair in love and war...and then there are people who would rather vote to a particular person not that he/she believes in him...but that he/she does not like the other person...and crossing across party lines...has seen unprecedented levels...for instance the Vice Presidential candidate couple of election seasons ago from Democratic party is openly supporting the Republican candidate for the Presidency...and urging others to do so...from his own party (dems).
Looking at all these....if I dare draw comparison of the worlds' oldest democracy to the world's largest...there is little or no difference...every one "is the same...there is no change"...opportunists making the best of what ever they can... and always looking for a fumble from the opposition...
there is so much to write... and some impounding works to finish....so let me make it a series...and carry on this discussion tomorrow...
