I dislike politics in general because, really, it's all just a giant reality tv show. I lost faith when I was in high school, actually, because President Bush stood on national television and said that they couldn't find any weapons in Afghanistan and that was proof that they were there. And nobody, or at least nobody that I had exposure to, thought that was the stupidest thing they had ever heard. Since then, I've seen politicians vote on a law and then admit to not having read it. I've seen politicians simply not go to work because they don't want to not vote, but they also don't want to vote. And then I've seen filibustering. While there are several laws that I disagree with that have been killed by a filibuster, I think it's entirely disgraceful that there is a tactic which can prevent a popular bill from becoming law simply because someone else decides to be an asshole for 17 hours. And the whole voting on a bill without reading it? I think anyone caught doing that should spend the rest of their life in prison, period. These guys are master manipulators, most or all of them are ivy league educated, top of their class, cut-throat business men and attorneys. And yet people think these are the guys that should be running a country. The whole thing, start to finish, is a farce and it's appalling to watch.
