Pointing The Finger

In this day and age one would think that pointing the finger would be left to the children of our world. One would never guess that adults, let alone ones representing the state of Texas, would be pointing the finger in order to gain votes. In the KXAN article Senate runoff hopefuls increase attacks, it was reported that Republicans Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst, are lying and accusing one another of wrong doing. In the KXAN article Cruz is accusing Dewhurst of trying to cover up past support for certain immigration programs, while Dewhurst is accusing Cruz of representing a person involved in a bribery scandal. Both parties are claiming that the allegations against them are untrue and they go on to justify why and how the allegations are false. As the article continues both parties continue to point the finger and attack one another in order to gain votes for the upcoming and most likely final debate. The article is a pretty interesting read when focusing on how people will go to any extent to get what they want. We as a whole, no matter our degree of influence, position in the world, or education level, will still act in child like ways, such as pointing the finger, in order to get exactly what we want.
