Truth no longer seems to count.
I continue to be dumbfounded, depressed, and angry about the fact that the press and apparently the American people think this election is just another choice for the lesser of two evils! Otherwise, how could all the polls still be so close? This is most definitely NOT the lessor of two evils! Whether you are aware of the Bush dictatorship or just think this country has gone in the wrong direction for eight years (in 100 different ways!), how can you even consider voting for a Republican?
Politics in this country have been reduced to the campaigns (at least on the Republican side) just saying whatever the Hell they want, with no regard for truth or reality, the press and mass media repeating what the campaigns say (with no regard for the truth or reality), and the American people believing what they hear.
McCain and his new sidekick are just flat-out lying about a whole host of things (particularly about Palin's record), but unless you listen to cable news (specifically, MSNBC), you might never know it. McCain and Palin definitely do NOT represent change, unless you think of moving further in the wrong direction as change. Palin is an extremist, and McCain is nothing but a sideshow. I am a Vietnam veteran myself, and I respect the service of ANY solider during ANY war, but I suspect that even Hitler did something in some part of his life that deserved respect.
