TRUTH SQUADS!!!

Borack Obama's presidential campaign has engaged prosecutors and sheriffs in Missouri to monitor ads looking for falsehoods and lack of truths. They state that they will use the law to prosecute anyone who puts out youtubes and political ads that mock or falsely accuse Obama.

Really?? truth in politics... should the two words be in the same sentence.

I somewhat agree that negative campaigning is ineffective. As mentioned in a previous blog, I want candidates to tell me what they are going to do, not what their opponent won't do.

I think we should take these truth squads a step further. When Borack Obama or his camp state things that are "good" that he has done, let's make sure the truth squads can verify this.
Like when he says, "I told Congress about Fannie Mae 2 years ago" Beep ... lie.

I say at the next debate lets hook up both candidates to a lie detector. When they answer a question the commentator can reply "Uh, Senator, thats a lie.."

Just like the reality Show, (whatever it's name is ) I think that would make for great TV.

How about you?
