Last night I saw South Carolina Senator Francis Underwood kill reporter Zoe Barnes by pushing her in front of a train.  Oh that's right, that isn't real. It was in season one of  House of Cards. I recently subscribed to Netflix and started binge watching HOC!  Great show, but it really makes me stop and think what this show is based on.

How many people that watch this show on a regular basis actually believe that this sort of thing really goes on in our own political system? Could the kind of  behavior actually happen in Washington D.C.?  Well probably not to the point of murder, but there have been a few  scandals that happen from time to time in that town.  To think that one member of the House of Representatives could cause so much havoc in his own selfish quest to power is and awesome thing to behold. Not in a good way, of course.

I am disappointed that it is the Democrats in this story that are depicted in this soap opera style story.  It should be the Republicans, especially during this election cycle.  Just think how these candidates speak to each other on national television. Imagine what goes on when they are not in the public eye.  How crazy is it this year???
