WHY VOTERS GROW CYNICAL

The Democratic Senate primary race in Pennsylvania has become brutal (as do most campaigns these days). Not being a Democrat, I will not have a vote in this primary. I have found, however, one commercial particularly annoying. You can watch it here.

There is a certain irony in all this that brings out our cynicism.

Remember this is the same man who “was not prepared to have my 29-year record in the United States Senate decided by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate — not prepared to have that record decided by that jury, the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate” and decided to switch parties from Republican to Democrat.

When politicians stick to the issues and realistic, concrete solutions--I for one am glad to be a part of the political process. When we resort to tactics that assume the gullibility of the voter, I am offended.
