Resent it all you want...but how they play and who they play on the battlefield of politics is what it is...and the voters and who they can influence are gamed in with it...as well as the prize.
There are few citizens if any who do not realize the seriousness our country is in. The problem is many politicians simply use it to their political advantage rather than actually putting feet to their talk.
Politics is a game....always has been and always will be despite the condition in the country and the stakes at hand.
Forgive my naivete, but I thought the Nov 2010 elections were all about returning the country to first principles. Your argument seems to be excusing the ruling class and their tactics to get reelected. I respectfully disagree with that decidedly RINO POV. I want a “get in your face” candidate — not a tactician. The time for tactics has passed. PAX
