Snoopy: This is exactly the case in the US it seems. It seems that in politics, you have two sides of a one sided coin. A bit of a contradiction I know. But that's politics: They tend to live in a world of contradiction. They live in a world of villainous demons - most of which tend to be mere shadows. Politicians like to make things up. And many people, it seems, are programmed to accept what they hear. Much like in the era of McCarthyism, most of the villains are simply made up by the politicians to keep their side in the advantage, as opposed to the other. A bit of a tug-of-war, politics style.

And of course, most politicians have no idea of peoples' real needs or what to do about problems except to make up some strange promises that in the end, will never work. And on it goes.
