All politicians suck
From SFGate:
Although voters will have genuine alternatives, the fog of campaign rhetoric is obscuring their true nature. Both Obama and McCain are putting forward economic plans that are more properly viewed as programs for getting themselves elected than for governing.
"Both are proposing massive tax cuts, and the spending cuts they're talking about don't come remotely close to paying for them," said Howard Gleckman, senior research associate at the nonpartisan Urban Institute in Washington. "These guys are both making promises they can't possible keep."
Yeah. A pox on all their houses. And people can with a straight face write articles wondering why people are cynical about politicians?
