That'd be too complex for slogan-based politcs.

Yeah I fear that's the case.

My local regional business group has been championing some highway improvements in their area, but they keep endorsing local GoP candidates whose party, in the name of cost cutting, canceled that project TWICE.

Can't be outraged by something good happening and there's always another thing to be outraged about!
