I was watching my local news today and they were carrying a national feed on the KY elections.

Sure enough, they closed out the segment with an interview from a woman who was basically saying she did not know if she would vote because (paraphrase, not quote) "both parties are the same." Good grief. No question or dispute from the interviewer. At this point in time, how can anyone think both parties are the same? Heck, even if you are a Republican you can't fail to see that.
News networks failing this country every day. I know that statement is beating a dead horse but there it is again.

I even showed the difference between the list of crimes committed/convicted by Republicans compared to Democrats.

"They are all the same...a bunch of crooks!"

At this point in time, I'm beginning to understand ostriches/heads/sand!

are just embarrassed Republicans with a healthy dose of IMAX level projection.
