Reply #181: Truth?

[LeahMira]

Or that some folks have become so disgusted with our corrupt political system that anyone speaking the truth as they see it is a breath of fresh air, even if the truth they speak is right-wing nut-jobbery?

Last time I looked, there was only one version of the truth... not two or three. Sure, that one version is sometimes hard to arrive at, but it's there.

I do think that some folks are so eager to end the war in Iraq that they favor anyone who is willing to state unequivocally that s/he will end it immediately, no matter the political party. Only Dennis Kucinich (to my knowledge) has made that statement. The others promise an end, but in 2010 or 2013 or whenever. I like to think (and perhaps I'm naive) that the Democratic candidates aren't making promises they can't be sure of keeping, although I'd certainly like to think that a Democratic president would end the war no matter what.

Let's just not compromise long term gains for a short term fix, even if that would fix a whole lot that's wrong with this country just now. To anyone who thinks that Ron Paul is better than our Democratic candidates, just take a look at his website. Please!
