When you can't tell the difference between a presidential election and high school, it's time to move on.
Where are the fucking ISSUES? Where are the intelligent debates between candidates on things that matter to me? How long am I going to have to deal with this smear-tactic, penny-anty, he-said-she-said, lowest-common denominator, mindless, senseless, waste-of-my-time BULLSHIT?
I want candidates, not overgrown children who say "AWWWWWW!" every time a naughty word is spoken

YOU GOT MY POINT.
They deflect the issues with absolute BS and it is easy for the most rational of people to get caught up in these things,especially when the press focuses more on the BS than on the issues.
I think the reason they avoid issues and give us BS, is because they are scared of telling us the truth about issues and what needs to be done to make this country as great as it was.
And that brings a problem in and of itself because we need a great leader to make us great, and because of the dirt and nastiness and ruining of someone's character and family, the true greats are scared to run.
I once asked my father why he never ran or will run for office and his words are very true of many great men. "They'll destroy me for the mistakes I made and make even my smallest seem like it was the worst thing a man could ever do."
