sorta about the readings, but really not at all

first off i just want to say i really enjoy the discussions we have in class, although i do often get enraged about things...oh well. i want to mostly comment on the second reading. a "how to" manual on how to get votes makes me sick. and in all actuality, that is exactly what was written. how to get votes. this in my mind is downright ridiculous and immoral. yes, tell ppl what they want to hear and make them temporarily happy. by doing this you guarantee disappointment for the future voters and weaken their faith in the united states voting system, by forcing them to believe that they are not voting for any cause, but simply for the benefit of the candidate that will not be doing anything about the causes they discuss. whatever. i dont like politics
