The moment you’ve all been waiting for!
You have to love time-lapse!
Isn’t it amazing the number of false accusations that have been let out this election? The reason I bring this up is because I have been a little overwhelmed with trying to keep my facts straight between the two candidates. However, the load of this task has been heavily slanted towards Barack Obama and not so much on McCain. Why? The only conclusion I can come to is that John McCain and the Right Wingers play dirty and play often. I’m really not even sure how these people can tell the American public these crazy lies with a straight face on national television. Here are just a few of these so called “smears” that the McCain campaign has communicated.
F = Falsehood.
T = Truth.
F: Barack Obama wants to teach our children about sex and sexually transmitted diseases before they can even read!
T: No. [Read this.]
F: Barack Obama is a Muslim!
T: No. By the time Barack was born his father was Atheist. His step-father was practically agnostic. He did attend schools in Jakarta where the majority of his peers would have been Muslim, but would that make him a Muslim? And why would this really matter? This is simply put, a scare tactic. Just because someone is a Muslim doesn’t mean they are an enemy and unacceptable to us, right? I would hate for people to ignorantly think that my being Mormon means I’m sub-par and possibly a threat to our society.
F: Barack is friends with terrorists!
T: No he is not. [Read this.]
F: Obama has radical abortion and infanticide views!
T: Read his statement on the matter.
These are just a few of the “smears” that have come across the air waves. I guess what I’m trying to say is maybe it’s time to be more of a skeptic when it comes to seemingly outrageous information. Now to end this post on a lighter note, but one that still pertains:
The SNL actors are awesome! Joe Biden was nailed and we all know how well Tina Fey does Sarah Palin. Check out the video.
I just want to know what those around me think of Obama. Why will you vote or not vote for Barack Obama?
I’ll let you be the judge.
