Super Secrecy

When it comes to politics, yes, there were simpler times.  Not simple, mind you.  Politics has never been simple or easy.  But in comparison to today, they were a bit simpler.

One could pretty much count on what was going to transpire before, during & after an election.  Both sides had their pre determined vitriolic rhetoric & accusations against each other.  Maybe a touch of scandal dealing with sex, money, favors or a combination.  Nothing that really shocked or scandalized any one.  But times have genuinely changed for the worse I think, but definitely more complicated.
