pushing buttons and getting the blood to boil...

[curmugeon]

Isn't it evident that both parties tend to feed the information they feel will inspire our ire, get us upset and make us move? I've seen ignorance on the left and right, where facts are selectively released, and truth becomes the victim. 

No, our political process is far from perfect, but it does work (sometimes). It hurts to lose, but I can see the hype defeating the truth this time. We will get the government we deserve, not the government we need.
