Americans have 8% confidence in the obligatory lies and bullshit
There are a statistically irrelevant few who don't want to be lied to. Then there are those who insist upon being lied to. Then, the silent majority who don't have any real choice...
Most people on this planet never had a choice. They don't have a vote, a voice, nor any upside future in this Globalized Ponzi scheme. They don't exist other than to create our iGadgets. By contrast, the controlling bloc within the developed world consists of those who want to be lied to constantly. And yet people still wonder why there are no honest politicians. There are no honest politicians because the public has absolutely zero tolerance for the truth. When Ron Paul spoke the truth at the 2012 Republican Primaries - about the economy, geopolitics and the status quo, he garnered 11% of the vote. He was the only candidate who was anti-debt and anti-foreign intervention. By comparison, Newt Gingrich garnered 14%.
Granted, many people are not comfortable with Ron Paul's laissez-faire views, which some might view as borderline anarchic. Nevertheless, he was the only candidate to impugn the status quo as wholly unsustainable. And needless to say that fixing this ongoing clusterfuck has to start with acceptance of the truth and therefore won't even begin until the public ends their infatuation with mannekins.
What voters really think about the truth:
Politicians trusted less than car salesmen
In statistical terms, 50% of Republicans thought Romney was the best candidate, with 8% confidence that he could actually get anything done.
Democracy has turned into a charade, and worse yet, the sheeple couldn't have it any other way.
