Dodd and Paul keep telling the truth ... and are ignored - The Smirking Chimp: "There seems to be an unwritten and immutable rule in American politics that the candidate who stands little or no chance of being elected gets to tell the truth. This holds as true on the local level as it does in the race for the White House. For a variety of reasons, we simply do not gravitate to the truth tellers.
Perhaps it's as simple as this: they make us think too much and, for that sin, they must be slapped down as too smart for their own good. Or they put too much of the burden of governance on us, telling us, in effect, 'Hey, just electing me isn't going to solve the problems ... to keep our democracy alive, you're going to have to do some work too.' This does not sound promising to the majority of Americans already stretched thin working two jobs to pay off the credit card cartel's monthly interest charges on a debt they'll never clear..."
