Three Month Absence

I have been silent during the run-up to the November election. Why, because I guess politics, the type with a capital "P" for party, just doesn't interest me. I'm more of an issues person, and that's what party politics avoids. Candidates and their helping handlers would rather be in an attack mode, denigrating their opponents. We have all seen and heard too many ads that espouse half-truths and twisted facts. If what is said is true, it makes one wonder how the candidate for office ever managed to get in a position of running for public office. Truth is that the politicians think the voters are stupid. Otherwise, they wouldn't treat them like idiots with all the bilge they pump out. I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the election to be over.
