Query: Seamy subculture of politics

Fiction, this is fiction. It is a movie. Having established that fact, I thorougly enjoyed it. Great cast. Almost true to life dirty politics.The political infighting, the lies, the mudslinging, the broken promises. If a real life portrayal was intended, it was, oh, about half as vicious as it really is in congress today.Had to remind myself that I was reviewing a movie, it was that engrossing at times. Not like, "Gosh, I just can't wait to see which lie is coming next", but that it did give a sometimes accurate view into today's congressional intrigue. Too bad that in real life, politics seldom reaches the level of actually doing good for our nation.Didn't intend a political sermon, but movies, at least a few of the well made, do tend to reflect society's actions, after all.
