Reply #21: For a political website

[Zomby Woof]

I have never read so much unknowledgable tripe about politics than I have right here. It's an undistilled ignorance which is remarkable in its purity.

Anyone who thinks this is new, or unprecedented, or surprising, or in any way some kind of departure from the norm needs to buy 'The Prince', 'The Art of War', and maybe take a night class in civics at the local community college. Jesus Christ on a cracker! Buy the Cliff's Notes if you must, but please get REAL about politics and politicians.

There is nothing phony about Edwards or Clinton. They are as real as politicians get. This is what politicians DO. They run, and they run to win. They have to be merciless and bloody. I have never seen such hand-wringing, drama, and just plain wussifed pansy behavior about politics than I have right HERE.

This isn't cynicism, which realism is often confused with on DU though.
