OUR FUTURE LEADERS?

Is this the new face of political leadership? One can only hope it's a fad like pet rocks or cabbage patch kids but the attention being paid to psuedo celebrities such as Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Rand Paul etc. is alarming. There are signs of hope as a recent report indicated that moderate Kansans are showing some skepticism towards such TB notables as Kris Kobach. I am reminded of the hype accompanying a new book/movie/soap - the media is blanketed with news of the item. People hear the brand name repeatedly and the psychology of salesmanship works is magic. Only after the money's spent (vote is cast?) do they discover they've been had. The promises were empty; the product doesn't perform; the candidate is a front for special interests. The solution is to become as informed as possible and encourage others to do the same. Used up tea bags belong in the trash.
