Really guys? Are we still doing this? On a post on Fact Check today, Lori Robertson claimed that the presidential candidates have misstated the others health care plans, making each of their followers stray even further from knowing the truth, and more towards ignorance.
The article states, "McCain proposes a market-based system that relies on tax incentives, which one Obama ad falsely characterizes as the "largest middle-class tax increase in history." Obama proposes new subsidies to expand private insurance coverage and some expansion of government insurance, which McCain falsely claims "will rob 50 million employees of their health coverage."
Each of these acts is a disgrace to each of the presidential nominees, because they are, yet again, robbing the people of their knowlege of the truth. Every democrat that sees the Obama ad criticising McCain of something he wasn't going to do is going to think that McCain is worse of a person than they already thought he was, and vice versa, but for all of those undecided people out there, they don't know which candidate they are going to vote for yet, and if they get fed false information, they will for sure be thrown in with the crowd voting for the wrong reason. I almost promise you, that if they keep doign this whole blame game thign throughout the end of the election, which is likely, then I will be very angry. Already I am torn between each of the two candidates, but that is because they each have different views that I agree and disagree on, and whith all of these false claims I will never be able to make a firm choice.
Little bit of political comedy here:
