Politics

The races are heating up!  I actually laughed out loud in the van today when I heard a Roy Barnes ad.  It ends with a woman saying that he is honest. This is the same day that he is having to defend an ad he approved against Nathan Deal depicting him running from reporters yelling questions.  I've seen the info on each.  Perhaps those of us who follow politics wouldn't be quite so cynical if we thought any of them could tell the WHOLE truth.  Glenn Beck recently did a Restoring Honor Rally in Washington DC.  The entire rally was simply a call to honor.  I don't think lying (stretching the truth, rearranging the truth, omitting the truth, and flat out fabrications) are very honorable.  Leading up to and since the rally on 8/28, Beck has called for honesty even to yourself.  Critics have tried to make fun of the rally and degrade Beck.  I watched the speech online.  I have to wonder if any of the naysayers did.  Not once did I hear anything that a reasonable person should object to.  I would like to see someone form a legit argument against honesty, responsibility, and accountability. 
I say this tongue in cheek because, honestly, I had someone try.  Not sure it counts but we were discussing truth.  The argument was not a well thought out one.  The gentleman could only attack the character of Beck and the people who showed up with generalizations and zero facts.  Calling people names is easy.  Finding examples of them deserving those titles, impossible when the name is false.  It's just too easy to refer to people as racist, islamophobe, socialist, communist.   
Ugh.  I am done with this for the night.  Don't want to work myself up into a tizzy just before bed.  Besides, the HUB channel is showing the 1960's version of Batman.  Time for fun.
