Some one has said, "If you don't like the lie a politician tells you today wait they will tell you a better one tomorrow." I should add that often much of the press and the media have been rather loose with the truth. Thomas Jefferson, was said to have said the following;"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers." I can only imagine what Thomas Jefferson would think of the press and the media today politically speaking. Oh I know lies and politics go together like beans and franks peanut butter and jelly Oreos and milk and taxes and liberals! The question is does that make it right?
As a Christian, I know the Bible, says, in Exodus 20:16 "Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor."That's the ninth commandments for those of you who may not know it. I realize the Ten Commandments aren't as popular or as visible in American society as they used to be.Here is a mystery, almost every politician will tell you their faith is important to them and what ever office they may be running for more often than not they will end each speech they give with the phase God, bless America. Could it be that those words have become only a phase? How can any politician think God, will bless them and what does it say about their faith in God, if thy lie about their opponent in order to get elected?
A super PAC has placed a political add on the air recently that all but accuses Mitt Romney for the death of a poor mans wife because he lost his health insurance when he lost his job at Bain Capital and as a result the mans wife died of cancer because he could not afford to pay for her to be treated the conclusion is then if Mitt Romney when he ran Bain Capital had not laid this man off the mans wife would still be alive so the death of this mans wife is Mitt Romney's fault. In spite of the fact that several fact checkers have proven this add to be completely false don't look for Obama to tell the super PAC to pull the add. If Obama, allows Harry Reid, to make unproven allegations concerning Romney's taxes, on the Senate floor one can not expect he will tell the super PAC to stop running the add. I don't like it when any politician does this.and as a Christian, I am left to wonder is there no line or boundary politicians won't cross? and then I pause and ask my self, since when has there ever been a line in politics? As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
