30. Shouldn't Surprise anyone...

Just read an entry in Maddow Blog talking about the last six commercials Romney put out and how each one is based on a complete fabrication. Even for American Politics this is something that has never been seen before. I don't know if this strategy is working only because Obama is black or if this is just the final nail in American Political discourse. When you have all conservatives watching Fox and all liberals watching MSNBC each side has access to only one stream of information. I cannot watch CNN or FOX so the only way I can watch news is if I am watching MSNBC because the past 12 years have so angered and polarized me that I will vote for six feet of stacked shit with a tie on before I vote for a Republican. I used to watch C-SPAN and when you actually listen to a conservative argument (not partisan, conservative) sometimes a good point can be made. Especially when it is a civil discussion where each side gets ample time to express, flesh out and rebut each others points. With people living in information bubbles liars can flood the airwaves with whatever they want and it will just blend into the chatter.
