It has been brought to my attention by a close friend, and reader of my blog, that someone in our mutual aquaintance thinks (or may think) that my "Hypocrites" blog was about them. Well if the shoe fits wear it, LOL, but the blog was not about anyone in particular (so get over yourself 
).
).It was about politicians out there, who espouse family values all while they are having an affair; people that are affiliated with a particular party but turn there back on that when they don't want to vote for a man of color (or a woman for that matter) - people of that ilk. Or even worse yet, people that affiliate themselves with a party (and they don't really agree with the politics of that party) just because they know it will be easier to win an election in their area if they are of the 'correct' party. I guess that is all part of politics though, the nature of the game. Maybe that is why I don't really care for it and get bent out of shape when the presidential election rolls around. I guess politicians, in order to survive, have to be hypocrites (the game of politics does attract people like this, doesn't it?) because they are trying to please so many people. So I am stuck feeling like I have to choose between the lesser of two evils (a turd sandwhich or a giant douche, LOL). I feel hypocritical making the choice, because there is rarely someone I can get behind whole-heartedly. So when politicians wonder why people don't vote, there it is - disenchantment with the game, loss of naivety of the voter, lack of follow through on the elected officials part, too many politicians feathering their nests under the guise of doing what is best for the community (or off the backs of people they are supposed to represent), voter's disgust of being lied to time after time ... all around hypocrisy.
