THERE SEEM TO BE MORE LIES THAN TRUTH OUT THERE RIGHT NOW

I have no idea what the statistics are on how much time people spend on listening to news on radio, searching for it TV, or just where they may think they are getting news.  However, it is clear that not everyone is getting truth.  The most refreshing TV today is when a politician says something and, almost immediately, everything said previously on the subject is played from the great database from all the years Big Brother's camera has been storing all that stuff you have said that is stored in cyberspace.  It makes the saying, :you can run but you can't hide" most applicable.

Paul Ryan has been caught lying about his awe of Ayn Rand and is now denying (after writing and speaking about how he thinks she has been a mentor and someone he has modeled himself after.  Greenspan was brought to his knees with apology for having followed her advice for so long at the destruction of our economy.  However, Ryan thinks he can avoid Greenspan's mistakes, apparently.  Not so, say the people who have studied his budget. Despite his denials there has been too much proof of his worship of her.
The article in Wire is titled: "Audio Surfaces of Paul Ryan's Effusive Love of Ayn Rand"

Santorum, Paul Ryan and others who profess to be so heavily influenced by their Catholicism are finding that the Catholic Church feels differently about how they are demonstrating it. Everyone is entitled to change their mind but they are not excused for denying it, or saying they have changed their mind when they, in fact, have not.


Politicians should not get elected by their talk.  They should take a test for the job and when those who are determined competent are found, the the public should vote on which is the most personable, creative, easy to work with, and truly invested in the country and not a re-election.
