Has democratic politics denigrated into individual cults of personality?

.



Is this more about Bill and Hillary than the welfare of the people?



I think these are the more important questions to ask at a time when politics among democrats seem less focused on the issues and more upon the personalities of the larger than life personas that seem to dwarf all other considerations.



We are treated to emotional lapses and grandiose sweeping statements and the anger of one of the candidates. But does that enhance what we are trying to accomplish? Or does it demean the actual gravitas of the subject matter?



Many are concerned that the main byproduct of so many forums has been less enlightenment than pettiness and divisiveness.



The “Talking Heads” tend to exacerbate the divisions brought forth during the forums and help turn molehills into mountains.



The Networks decide among themselves who should have the right to speak. Accomplished candidates are simply arbitrarily left out of the debates.



Questions are asked to provoke rather than enlighten and it seems that the entire process has become more show business than meaning.



I would appreciate your views on my comments.



Am I right? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?



Are we more concerned with how to get there then what happens once we arrive?

Thank you.
