He sees right through their little games. All the other side wants to do is distract, and attack. Focus is what's needed, as David so rightly points out.

We forget policy on focus on the people debating the issue instead of the actual issue.

Even if you hadn't capitalized it, and I'd have read it correctly, it wouldn't have made sense to me. Of course, it might well be a current bit of slang I'm totally unaware of.

And "wuz" trying to express? Not sure what that means either. Unless possibly you mean the past tense of the the verb "to be" and intend "was".

Because the media has to show both sides for some stupid unknown reason, which makes us all crazy, because their side is NUTS!

The kids are seeing right through it.
