Wow... this lady is something else. Read about her. Find out all you can about how candidates on BOTH SIDES VOTE on issues. Afterall, it's how they vote that really matters... not what they say when the cameras are on them.
Some people think that if Obama isn't chosen as our next President that it means America is racist. At least that's what Newsweek's Jacob Weisberg is feeding us. How ridiculous. Well, does that mean that the same thought process can be assumed of McCain/Palin? Does it mean that if they're not chosen that America is sexist? No... it doesn't. And if Obama/Biden doesn't win it's not because of any reason other than they weren't the ones for the job. What's important is how the candidates on both sides VOTE... not the color of their skin or whether they're male or female.
Do your research and find out how they vote on the ISSUES that matter to you. If you don't do that then you're not being a responsible voter.
I'll help you get a head start:

"This widely distributed message is so full of misinformation that we find it impossible to believe that it is the result of simple ignorance or carelessness on the part of the writer. Almost nothing it says about Obama's tax proposals is true. We conclude that this deception is deliberate."
Its nice that you are being so helpful to get folks started. But you may want to make certain you aren't simply repeating misinformation.
Or not, up to you.
No, I don't want to spread any misinformation... so I appreciate the factcheck link with the info on the taxes. Thus, I removed it from the post... since the voting record part on those other issues is truthful, I'm leaving that up.
Anyway, thanks for the info MickeyB. :)
