As politicians try to make their appeal for office they succumb to the low tactics of attack and belittling their opponents in every way they can to the point of legal but not so much that it isn't within the fine line of dishonesty. The lack of respect and morals overtake their scheer desire of
winning to the degree that in winning they sometimes lose the respect
of the people in which they so wanted the trust. The stories and lies and
fabrications have grown so large due to the media technology we now
have that a person who truly wants to know about their future political
candidates would have to due extensive research on their own to clarify
that the results were indeed accurate. As quoted in a speech by President
Lincoln in 1856 "The ballot is stronger than the bullet".
As that quote represents and past and present elections show, political
candidates would rather have their name 'drug through the mud' and win
than to be a clean and moral loser.
I love what you said here, "What is said or implied is immediately consumed and set in a person's mind or point of view." It is true that if you say it, right or wrong, most people will consume it and believe in it. Politicians have known that for years and they even have professional speech writers paid to make the crap up for them. Yuck, how'd you like to be the guy whose job it is to write lies for a living?
