From the World of Politics
I noticed an interesting little public relations piece in this morning's New York Times. It appears that several Democratic Party congressmen and women are distancing themselves from their own party in election ads. Ok, maybe distancing is not the right word. They are downright not mentioning it.
Ouch.
That is not a dig at the Democrats per se, but an alarming look at the current state of political affairs. It's a smart public relations move right now, but what does it say about America? Elected officials are fearing their own party name when it comes to people heading to the ballot box this fall. It underlies a major problem with our government. It is more and more being run by parties and not leaders. Leaders would stand up to the bullies in the parties who demand loyalty to them and not America.
