Meaningless Rhetoric

If you have an opportunity to read the Federalist Papers you should certainly seize it. In a similar vein, track down the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Then read the Santorum-Casey debate.
It is almost like listening to 5 year olds argue. "Our neighbor says you stink" compares admirably with "an editroail calls his words 'snake oil'". Instead of propounding ideas to change things they talk in broad, meaningless concepts such as "Well, the system is in trouble. My opponents' ideas are worthless, mine are brilliant.
Yet when you get done reading their statements which, I remind you, are in response to written questions you should be disgusted. These are not men trying to demonstrate their ideas and why you should vote for them. They are just saying "My opponent is a worse option than I am. Trust me on this one."
Frankly, I think I prefer "My Dad can beat up your dad."
