Politics is a dirty business. In order to sway the electorate to vote one way or another, the opposing sides is demonized to put fear in the hearts of the people. BOTH Republicans and Democrats in the U.S. are guilty of this.

I no more think that Republicans want to starve children and the elderly, no more than the Democrats want to vote for Castro. But listening to our leaders, they will continually promote such propoganda in order to put the balance of power on their side.

It's a power struggle to see who holds the reins of power. All the more reason that we as responsible citizens need to study the issues and find the truth behind the rhetoric.
