The Debates

Thus far I've maintained radio silence on the presidential and vice presidential debates. However, after watching tonight's VP debate I wanted to share one observation that held true about both debates: How many times did Barack Obama and Joe Biden have to correct McCain and Palin's facts? Two dozen? Three dozen? More? The debates were prime time examples of what has become a fundamentally dishonest campaign being run by John McCain. It struck me that after nearly half (maybe more?!?!) of McCain and Palin's statements either Obama or Biden had to say, "Actually, what he/she just said is false and here is why."

After being lied into war in Iraq, lied to about Valerie Plame, lied to about the attorney purge, and lied to about domestic spying, I am ready for truth. Enough is enough.
