With certain media outlets irresponsibly focusing so much attention on issues that should not matter, and rather focusing on whether a candidate is wearing a flag pin on his lapel; they are making a mockery of your intelligence under the assumption that you care more about sensationalized theatrics than on the things that matter most to us. The way these 'issues' are strategically shaped create scandals that equal rating hikes--and rating hikes = advertising dollars. The way they report on irrelevant matters and reconstruct them to be newsworthy is a disservice to us that have a problem with being patronized.
In the wake of a pathetic economy, a burdensome war overseas, you would think that it would be a lot more difficult to 'create' a scandal such as flag pins, and judging one's character based on how their pastor behaves. So, in an effort to cut through the smokescreen bullshit that the rest of you consider non-issues, this handy tool (below) ought to help you figure out who is more aligned with how you think on the issues that matter.
I recommend you take this and scroll down so you can't see the results until you're finished with it. Who knows, you might surprise yourself.
(It only takes about 3 minutes.)
