New Politics

I find the road that current politics have taken in our country quite astounding. The transformation that was made came with little time. With recent years the quick sure change of politics into show business came. Politics in the U.S. has become of more a beauty pageant if anything than a race concerning the interest of the population these public officials are running to represent. Campaigns in recent years have now been focused on how the Official looks in the publics eye rather than there standings on actual political issues. The most shocking par is that if any issue is brought up it is most always brought by a superficial backing. These "issues" often have to do with how the public will perceive this persons image not there standing on political issues.

  1. I agree with you. Politics has become an overblown popularity contest, but political races have always contained themes of pageants. The issues helped define the look of the candidates and the main difference today is that media has allowed for a visual representation of those issues.
