Has the current Presidential campaign dialog reached this point yet?

"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language"

    Ummm,

    Apparently you haven't been paying attention. It has developed flourishes and presentations unprecedented. It has risen to an art form beyond our comprehension, from which we are able to appreciate only pastiches of vignettes.

    And if we had a ballon big enough to capture it, our truckers would be out of business for a year, all freight for free.

    I so wanna not be politically involved, living in my own world, not strictly theirs although they control so much of mine.

    My opinion,,, so much rhetoric, so much name calling and bashing, in this one I've taken more notice and the more I hear the less I care who wins or why. Nothing can be believed as far as I'm concerned, and until the USA does away with the system of govt we have and fix it, then abolish the IRS and other Leech agencies, we will all endure mountains of manure.

    I'm leaning toward an independent vote for the Socialist party candidate.
