That time of a election year

More mentally painful than scratching fingernails along a blackboard - this election year's ads. You'd thing that each of the candidate's opponents were axe-murders or jackboot wearing contestants on "The Taxes are Right". Well in some cases accusations may be close but please if they'd just run the ads a little less I'd appreciate it. If there's truth in an ad then it's exaggerated, if not then they stretch the truth. Good thing truth is resilient but you need to dig to find it. Read the candidate's website for documented claims then track down the facts elsewhere. Check out the news sources, do they seem to have their own agenda? This is not work for the faint of heart. Just know that what you want may be flawed if you don't weight the consequences of one policy/issue against the ramifications. One truth is that maybe this elections is no worst that past election year's but it sounds like it to me.
