I suppose many people have blogged about the elections and debates, but I feel the urge to express my opinion. Just so you'll know - my opinion and a few dollars more will get you a cup of coffee in Conway, Arkansas.
I have noticed that the primary presidential candidates - McCain and Obama - tend to exaggerate facts or to create "facts" from nothing at all. Sometimes they simply express an opinion as if it were the truth (or fact) when actually it is not fact at all. For example, the Fact Checker by Michael Dobbs points out that McCain accuses the U.S.A. of sending "$700 billion" to buy oil from countries who "don't like us very much." The context of Tuesday (October 7) debate seemed to indicate that he had no part of such expenditures. Yet, he has served as a Senator for years! By the way, we import more oil from Canada than any other single country.
I don't like either of the men for president. I feel like voting against them and doing my best to make them know why I did not vote for either of them. They both are only wanting to be president, which is not the same as leading this country towards the "common good."
