We have elections so we can believe we have a choice. In Iran, the only candidates are those allowed by the ayatollah's in the background. In the USA, the only candidates are those allowed by the DNC and RNC in the background. And we criticize Iran for not being democratic.

Where else are you going to find government leaders dishing the dirt on each other for our entertainment? Step aside reality TV, it's an election year!!
