Re: Why is Chris Matthews being so honest about US presidential electi
His thinly veiled point is that since the Democrats don't have as much personality, gee, I guess they compete effectively because they have more truth going for them. He (and Canis, and I guess you) would rather think one side speaks the truth but just is so inexplicably benevolent that they don't "play the game," when really we should all be able to admit both sides play the game to the same degree.
Politicians don't work so hard to campaign for these (relatively) mediocre-paying jobs because they're nice guys and they've just chosen the side that sacrifices their lives to solving other people's problems. They rip each others' throats out to get the jobs, because the jobs give them power and corrupt money. Neither side is more benevolent or fair or right than the other. 0 = 0.
