Eric gets real real about presidential politics;
they are bull shit.
i hate this part of politics, everybody has an opinion on their candidate and why they are better…but those opinions nine times out of ten are generated by talking heads…electability, who is most presidential?…never based on what they are saying, because it doesnt pay in presidential politics to say anything, in fact the key word so far in this process has been “change.” the word has yet to be defined by a single candidate, but they are certain that all us americans want it. I like hilary clinton because her husband is bill clinton…i like obama because he is the candidate i know least about and i think he likes jay-z…i like john edwards because he is the only candidate ive seen in person and he actually was talking about real tangible change at the time (he has cleaned up his message and removed of any tricky tough thought provoking issue)…the whole set up is flawed we treat presidential candidates like britney spears picking apart what they look like and care little about issues. (i dont mean issues like abortion because that isnt a real issue) and if any candidates get serious and attempt to really discuss policy and lay a plan down for how they might change our health care system their plan is torn apart by the other candidates…so it becomes advantageous to talk and say nothing
