Politicians have to be fake to some degree and that is frustrating. What frustrates me more is that abortion and gay rights are probably the two topics that will yield the most votes (in either direction), but are really at the bottom of the next administration's agenda. I would like to see politicians who actually do something with their stances on these issues, That said, I think the logical thing to acknowledge is that right now, we have other things, more desperate issues like health care, the housing crisis, and the war, that need our attention. But still, people are going to let abortion and gay rights determine where their vote goes... I hope I am coherent--I did like your post. I agree.

Yes, politicians have to walk the thin line between the two extremes. We don't even realize how small the gap is btwn the two sides. I think politics in my country are even more distrubing. In Kenya,candidates do not have stances and no one cares about the issues. The most important thing is which region one comes from. I like your logic in this article.
