On Tuesday 3-13, Hillary Clinton brought up the specter of a vast right wing conspiracy. A move by Hillary to scare Democrats and motivate them to support her. Now I'm sure that Republicans as well as Democrats can get pretty ugly when political power is on the line. With a little research you could find evidence of both parties pushing the rules in an attempt to help their cause. But does this mean there is a right wing conspiracy? Are the actions of the far right anymore or worse then the far left? There is plenty of evidence for dirty tricks, and lies put out by the far left as well. Do you think Michael Moore or MoveOn.org wouldn't do whatever they could get away with to help their cause?

I believe that this kind of fear mongering is very destructive. Especially given how divisive the recent elections have been. I think the voters need to demand more from the candidates of both parties. We need to hear honest solutions to the issues of our day.

Unfortunately that will not happen. It will be business as usual. The Democrats will pull out their, "Republicans are evil script." and the Republicans will do the same with their "Democrats are evil" script. It will be the same rhetoric we hear every election cycle and nothing will get better. Candidates will make non-factual, emotional statements that the media will not challenge. And we will all suffer because of it.
