Silly republicans.

***disclaimer*** this is a observation
we are free, free to watch c-span1, c-span2, go to the library, and do research on the internet. almost all of our govts policy is available for public view. 30min news cast are going to give the qiuck soundbites and political rhetoric, why is this a surprise?
add up the amount of time an average citizen has, if there are 2or3 kids in the family, (dance, sports, school activities) plus each parent works 40 yo 60 hrs/wk. when are they going to research everything? people tend to take care of their immediate problems at hand.
this is one of the reasons our govt is set up the way it is(and i know the sheeple theory as well). we are free to go and vote, so thereby giving politicians the power to handle the govt and its issues, while we can deal with our everyday issues. when we dont like them we vote them out. some people are not worried about chasing thoughts around all day. when you call an electrician to your house to fix a problem you dont go and learn everything you can about electricity do you? hes probaly ripping you off worse than the govt. we pay the guy and trust him.
we are free to not care and we are free to care.
this is nonthing against you frackal im just ranting for the day.
and please note my disclaimer above.
baa-aaa
just wanted to make it a post to get others opinion.
