I've always tried to look at all sides of an issue, discount the extreams on both ends, weigh the rest and decide what I think the truth is. But to do this you have to be able to put aside your own bias and look with an open mind at all of it. Everyone can do that but not many people will do that
As far as the upcomming election, it's going to get worse. I really think it will be McCain and Obama and they will both sling mud and insults. Some of it may be real some of it will be BS. I'm registered Independant and right now none of it really bothers me, When it comes down to two then I will really start paying much more attention, try to filter out the BS and look more at the issues that concern me the most and go from there.

It's a difference between stretching the truth and outright lying about your principles and core values. Saying that they all lie is no excuse to vote for them. If you catch them lying does that mean you have to vote for them anyway?
According to his own words in the book "Dreams Of My Father" Barack Obama has learned to smile in white people's faces convincingly all the while he harbors malice against them. This is the truth he hides. Obama is a racist. No doubt about that. Yet he continues to maintain that all of his associates have no influence over him. He already has said that he could no sooner reject them then he could reject his family because the "black experience" is what he is. Now he's trying to make us all believe that this means nothing. Who deserves the right to hate their fellow man more. Somehow I get the feeling that Liberals feel it's acceptable for a black man to be racist, but not a white man. Whites deserve punishment for the image we supposedly have cultivated over the history of this country, correct?
Hillary has lied so many times just trying to keep out of jail that it's difficult to count. She has always been dishonest and everybody knows it. Only now has the media started to blow way the facade that they have been maintaining for her primarily because she was their hope to get Liberalism back in the White House. Now that they feel they don't need her they're turning on her.
