Political Ads: Fact or Fiction

[Ravenstorm]

It's election year and it's business as usual. Whether you're Republican, Democrat or other, don't swallow those ads whole as both sides are playing the game.

Non-partisan and they target both sides equally. Whoever you intend to vote for, at least learn what's really true or not.

I got all my political ad info from the Distinguished Ed Helms.

I think I posted that site before on the official boards, because I had to listen to some people who were quite rude, but didn't know the facts.:) I love that site. I like to know who is telling the truth, and who is stretching it.

Latrin, did you see the Daily Show today?


John Stewart: "Oh Gods, yes, a Truth Squad! A truth squad! I think my nipples are hard..."

Announcer on FoxNews: "Alright, let's form a truth squad, right here, right now. What are the worst three parts of John Kerry's economic plan?"

I think we should dedicate a thread solely to the Daily Show, Latrin, and giggle about it every night at 11:30.
