This forum contains threads which "report" on all sorts of rumors and mis-interpretations of statements by the candidates. There are too many threads started that are simply one member railing and ranting against other members who may be supporting the other candidate. Some draw flurries of angry and strident back-and-forth responses from the partisans of both candidates here in TOTV. But with this thread, I tried to present a real issue--one that will almost certainly impact on our pocketbooks, regardless of which candidate is elected. The result...nothing, nada, zippo...hardly any discussion at all. Does that mean no interest?

C'mon folks, let's discuss the issues...not what the campaign committees present in their efforts to win the daily 24-hour news cycle. They'll keep doing that as long as they can distract all of us from asking some questions about the important issues facing the country. And it's been proven that a lot of what is being said by the campaign committees on both sides is either plainly incorrect or an aggressive parsing of words and facts to distort the truth.

Why are so many of us willing to be complicit in these distractions? Can't we see that the candidates "people" will say and advertise just about anything--true or false--just to get their man elected?

Again...comments anyone?
