Presidential Debate

[Griselda]

If you believe the memos from Dan Blather why don’t you believe the hundreds of people at Swift Vets and POWs for Truth? (snip) If you want to eat the mud thrown you should really digest it all, not just that you find politically appetizing.[right][snapback]57550[/snapback][/right]

There's a problem with that logic, especially since one can believe that the "Dan Rather documents" were fake and still have some serious questions about Bush's time in the military.

But, suggesting that one should put every "outside voice" in this election into the same group- take it all or leave it all- is just ridiculous. The truth is buried, and each source needs to be evaluated on it's own merits (often, each individual argument from each source must be evaluated separately).

That system not immune to individual bias, of course, but the truth isn't going to be found by seeing only black or white.

Sigh.

Guess it's time for another round of "I met with some folks out in Tempe the other day who are struggling because of blah, blah, blah, and why can't opponent X see that he will ruin their lives if he is the next President".

There are important issues involved, but nobody is coming close to scratching the surface. It's all about the horse race. I will be watching the debate though, either live or on rebroadcast.
