Presidential Debate - Lies & Broken Promises

During the televised presidential debate last night, people in the audience were not supposed to applaud or cheer.  But they did anyway. They abandoned what they promised to do and did they wanted instead. Yet these same people get quite indignant when political candidates lie and break their promises.

"In a democracy people get the leaders they deserve."

Joseph de Maistre, French writer & philosopher, 1753–1821
