Political Nonsense Talk

While I intend to enter politics at some point, I am in fear of becoming a politician.  I don't know what it is, but it seems that common sense and everday communication skills seem to desert the average pol.

This, from a news service, on Hilary Clinton.

In that last debate, the candidates were asked if they thought it was appropriate for a teacher to read young children a story about a handsome prince who marries a — handsome prince. Clinton started off by taking an all-purpose stand against divisiveness and ended with a plug for hate crimes legislation. In between, she said this: “With respect to your individual children, that is such a matter of parental discretion. I think that, obviously, it is better to try to work with your children, to help your children understand the many differences that are in the world and to really respect other people and the choices that other people make, and that goes far beyond sexual orientation.”
