From a web blog. What country is this?

It's a pretty interesting time in XXXXXXXXXX politics. Yes we all know for the most part they are liars and cheats but we're in an election year and that means the cretins are beginning to fire up and get their message out to us - the little people.

That could be anywhere

What I find most annoying about this is the bullshit and it's magnified now as the politicians move into campaign mode. It's shot and counter-shot. One guy says something then his opponent says he's wrong and proclaims "we'll do it better". Someone makes a faux pas, spends the next two days apologising and the other guys use it to campaign on. Okay not exactly anything new... that's how politics works and what it's all about right?

Here's a hint.

It makes me think of the media who have focussed on things such as the AWB scandal or David Hicks where in reality most people don't care. For politicians the same tactics seem to apply... they crap on about issues people should care about - but don't - and in the end misdirect us from the fact they care more about getting or staying in power than serving the public. And what does all this mean? It means they think we're idiots!

Yeah, it's Australia, but change the names and it could be anywhere. Politicians are universal.
