Some Political Wars Leave No One Untouchable
I know political arguments can get bad, especially when rival parties start digging through their opponents past to try to find any dirt they can. Just recently on of the republicans top GOP rising star Senator John Ensign R-Nevada, admitted to having an affair with his best friends wife of 20 years and later fired them both after the affair came to light. Almost everyone has second thoughts when it comes down to trusting a politician because most of them cannot be trusted. While in the United States it’s usually bad judgments like bribery, affairs, or minor cover-ups that seems to take down politicians, but in other countries political races take the lives of many innocent people.
In the southern part of the Philippines a political war has been waging on between two families for decades it’s not just your simple he said she said propaganda, the fighting between the two families having left many innocent bystanders dead. With the gubernatorial race starting to heat up one candidate in the race Ismael Mangudadatu has not only had his lives threaten from political rival the Amputuan clan during the course of the current election but he has also lost close family members in the process.
