Politics Is Dirty

I think politics is dirty because the candidates are dirty themselves. Just like in the Philippines, I have seen all kinds of dirty tactics employed by the candidates (mostly by their cohorts). One senator was called a stray dog with his accusations against a presidential candidate. Ironically, that presidential candidate is now leading the election count by mile ahead of the second placing in the counting. But from the looks of the counting, there is no way that candidate will lose because he is leading by almost 6 million votes against the 8 million votes of the second placer.
