who's lying this time?
as the US presidential election draws closer, both candidates seem to be getting more desperate. despite previous promises of not resorting to slander etc, there's been lots of name-calling, slandering, pandering and general rumor-mongering as each is trying to undermine the other.
all three presidential debates have been travesties blatantly ignoring the whole point of having these debates. the questions posed to the candidates are actually supposed to the let the voting public know what their candidates stand for. but instead of actually answering the questions, both idiots have instead flipped from switching topic to topic and flopped from telling tale to tale.
which then got me searching.. how many of the accusations are actually real? how much of the electorate actually bothers to check? do the candidates lie through their teeth because they know most people will not look up what is true and what is not? aren't the majority of us taken in by first impressions and false pretenses? an independent site (at least i think it's independent!!) called Fact Check actually takes these claims made and tries to research them, and is a good site to take a look at.
in the meantime.. we will hopefully end up voting for the lesser of the two evils.. if only we could find out in time which one of Obama and McCain is less of a liar and more of a doer.
