[net.politics] ?Facts? This is an election year.

jj@rabbit.UUCP (10/08/84)

I'm completely baffled about the comments regarding "facts"
in net.politics.  I don't see what "facts" have to do with
anything, after all, this IS an election year, and what the
politicians will tell us (I make NO party/affiliation references
here) is what they think we want to hear.  Facts are not at issue,
what is at issue is what sort of lie will fool the most people into
voting for the politician.


I don't see why net.politics should be any different, really,
since all we see is tired old ideological ravings (communists are
godless, "imperialism is the highest form of capitalism", and
all the old lies)

Give me a break.  There have been a few indisputable facts
mentioned here, and not a bloody person has risen to the
occasion.
