Do Republicans & Dems believe in the truth or do they just believe what their parties tell them to believe?

Answer 1

Unfortunately....."truth" is too broad a term for MANY. And since, by my own observation of a VERY RAPID decline in value, morality and honesty in just one decade.....I think most folks DO "just believe" any and all current events that their own party holds.

Cattle, I tell ya, its all about cattle, and dont forget the sheeple too.

Answer 2

Truth is both objective AND subjective.
I think that as a rule, there will always be the new people falling in line with what the leadership states as what they are going to do, and thus have to ignore minor truths. (such as a bridge to an island in Alaska)
Look at Senator Feingold from Wisconsin, He was the only senator to vote NO on the so-called "patriot act". Everybody else either DID NOT read the act, or glanced at it and wanted to believe that the writers of the bill truly had Americas best interest at heart. When in fact, it was just another step in eroding our Bill of Rights.

Answer 3

I think they believe in telling the People what we want to hear to get elected and once they are in office, they do what is popular amongst their constituents. I guess, for the majority of politicians that says truth doesn't matter much...it has become a "go with the flow" thing. It is important for all of us to realize that there are some good people in government and we need to pay close attention to those we elect. Have a great day!! Annie

Answer 4

Political truth is all perception. They choose to believe what will help them with their agenda and hurt their rivals. They want to keep their jobs. They want to be elected and re-elected for as long as possible. I believe they are willing to skew the truth for that benefit. It makes a good case for term limits doesn't it? To bad they are the ones who have to pass that law. A little like the fox guarding the hen house isn't it.

Answer 5

As someone who in college held strong, strong convictions concerning a particular political issue, I was absolutely flabbergasted when I presented my debate opponents with overwhelming evidence of the gravity of my arguments. In the end, we still stood diametrically opposed on the issue.

A lot, a LOT of people are very passive in their devotion to a party, and a lot of people are very thoughtful in investigating the facts, and we still come to different conclusions. I just say, thank God we live in a country where we can talk about these issues in an open dialogue without fear of being killed or taken to the torture rooms.

Answer 6

Politicians are not concerned about their beliefs, they are concerned about the cash flow just like corporations. Sometimes they get a little soft and give some consideration to the people that elected them but most of the time it is their greed that controls their actions. Look at how both parties waste time attacking each other instead of working to solve problems of this country.

Answer 7

Each party has a platform.

The parties pick the politicians who cling as closely to those platforms as possible.

The Republican platform benefits only the rich.

The Democratic platform benefits the working class and the underprivileged.

When you vote for a person, you are voting for the platform.

These are the facts in a nutshell.

Answer 8

They both believe they are interpreting the truth the right way.

However, Republicans are the only ones who have a semi-grip on reality. Democrats are closet socialists who think the rich should take care of the poor. By force.

Answer 9

Believe what you want & I'll believe what I want
