This election season has been filled with half-truths and outright lies by both candidates in their attempts to capture the highest office. Here's an interesting article to help set the record straight:

Wouldn't it be nice to have a camapign where the candidates told the truth and were only allowed to discuss what they would do if elected? The negative ads can influence those who are less informed or pre-disposed to hearing that type of message and it seems that many Americans will cast their vote based on faulty and downright incorrect information.
Maybe Americans are finally ready to put aside petty differences and hatred to hold a civilized campaign and election? Who am I kidding? It's not that we can't handle the truth....it's that most people don't care to hear or even believe it.
