Are you curious if what the ads say are true or not? Well then head over to factcheck.org. This fine group of people scour through the ads, the interviews and the rhetoric to find the solid truth about the canidates.


This is the most recent one in which McCain attacks Obama on his sex education for kids in Kindergarten... turns out... the ad is misleading and very much flase, and even distorts a lot of the quotes or edits to remove mention of criticism Mccain has faced.

Enjoy

Palin is anything but hot....ugh.

But yeah I agree, sick of the whole thing. It's all been a contest to see who's going to lose to McCain anyway. Ugh

Well a lot of people debate what facts are true or not and if you want to get it right, just check out the site, but I agree this is one presidential election I want to see over as soon as possible.

Someone needs a midget sidekick or a burly Asian who tosses his razor-edged bowler as their press secretary.

almost every politician does this, but some are just blatant to the point of not saying anything about policy or ideals.

case in point: i walk into a room and the tv's on and its some debate about scotland becoming completely separate form england, not literally, there aint a good enough satellite with a laser yet, but politically.
So this one scottsman stands up and asks the woman whos a scottish mp if shes worried about trying to force and identity onto the youth of scotland and therefore not allowing it to develop naturally as it should or something like that.

Her response was horrifyingly twisted.

she said the usual "well er, its, er a ,difficult" bal blah blah, some usual crap about cultural melting pots and crap for , yes i counted, 20 seconds, then she completely 360'ed into some talk about wimbledon and saying "well at least we can all agree that our boys are going to win the tennis right?"


people laughed, some cheered, but they didn't seem to notice what i saw was so obvious, she didnt give an answer, she completely blindsided them and like sheep a little not to any form of patriotism and its like a dog barking in a neighborhood setting the others off.
i bloody hate how most politicians do this, but i hate that people lap this **** up even more.

Well, running for president its nothing new, getting one of the largest political parties blessing and full nomination... its never been done. So yes this is a very historic moment in US history, it has shown we've come a long way, but still have a ways to go.

It took that word useage as...

3. an article of trade whose value is chiefly decorative, comic, or the like and whose appeal is often transitory: a store

that could apply to this election in some ways. the fadish infatuation with obama and palin to me, at least, is decorative, comic and above all, transitory.
