Wanna look at a liberal look at Elizabeth Warren, obama aint fucking close. But its what they are told so they parrot it back.

With Vendzilla it's no longer about politics. It's more about him getting all of his information from one source that is obviously slanted and accepting it as fact - and he never checks anything. These are facts and figures that any thirteen year old can verify online quickly.
He just said that gas prices "under Bush there was a spike and it went right back down" which couldn't be any further from the truth. Yeah, gas prices down all right - as the economy came screeching to a halt! The truth is gas prices were low when Bush took office, and then doubled and quadrupled.
The problem is when you you follow politics too closely and you start to accept "your party's version" of everything as fact when it isn't. Both political parties spin their stories, which is there the term "spin" comes from. Vendzilla doesn't verify any of his facts, he just accepts them as truth.
I bet you most Americans are just like him - they believe their party's story as fact, and never check anything.
