Politics in Mission Viejo is entertainment

Anyone who takes the time to read all the postings regarding Mission Viejo Politics will be entertained and challenged to discover the truth.  There appears to be two main positions; one for spending more money and one for not spending more money.  Sound unusual?  I think not.  The two sides cannot even agree on the state of the budget.  That, at a minimum, suggests that caution should be the rule of thumb, first before spending.  The entertainment really comes from the name calling and conclusions expressed. Not enough attention is given to actual undisputed facts which would tend to support one side or the other.  Statements such as, "I don't believe in dog parks" and So and so is a liar, are not helpful, but are entertaining.  It is a good example of why the American people have no faith in their elected officials, but it does not explain why we keep electing them.
