Basic Truths You Can’t Talk About Anymore in America, Part 5

John Hawkins from Right Wing News posted a list of 20 issues which are considered too politically incorrect to discuss openly in America anymore.

(Number 5) — The reason most politicians in D.C. are shameless liars with no character is because most Americans will knowingly choose a shameless liar with no character who says what they want to hear over an honest man with morals who tells them the hard truths they’d rather ignore.

I think this is the point most likely to be agreed upon by almost everyone.  Given that the approval ratings of Congress and the presidency such low points, it’s a wonder how so many members are re-elected so often.
