~Politics~

Before I talk politics, let me first squelch your dread or anticipation of any controversial message that you may anticipate me sending. I have a very general claim that is not affiliated with any political party.


So, please read objectively, putting all Republican, Conservative, Democrat and Liberal beliefs aside. (Is "aside" a preposition?!?! Crap, I think it is!)


My one "beef" with politics has always been that there seem to be two, three and four "truths" in situations where it seems there should only be one truth. In many scenarios one can ask a Republican what happened, a Democrat what happened, a member of the Independent party what happened (in the SAME situation) and receive three, yes THREE, different answers.


I don't like that. There should only be one answer for one situation...because only one thing happened! Now, I'm not so naive that I don't realize that people's analyses of what happened contribute to the response of varying answers. I just don't like it.


For example, it has been said that there are people working for President Obama in the position of "czar".


Republicans claim these czars might possibly be in these positions illegally, not getting approved by congress, etc. Some Republicans claim there is much secrecy surrounding these appointed czars.


Democrats, have a different point of view. They claim that these czars are simply members of President Obama's cabinet. They're not "czar's," per se; but, cabinet members.


My point, question, is: Why are there two answers????? Are they simply cabinet members or were they hired illegally? I don't want a specific answer to this question. I'm using this current event just as an example of what frustrates me about politics.



I guess I don't understand why it's not black and white. It makes perfect sense to me that human behavior has grey areas; but, something as factual as our government's business...it doesn't seem right that the information gets so mucked up that there are a million different stories and claims to just one action.



OK, just wanted to get that off my chest!
