Isn't it just a bit disingenuous for a Senator to look at the financial meltdown and say that Washington hasn't done enough? A Senator who is part of the legislative body that writes the laws, makes the rules and basically has the control over whether something gets done or not?

In this age where any curious individual can research history, that being statements and records, why are so many things lied about and twisted out of context? Are politicians so disconnected that they think they won't be found out? It's like the combatants in a bitter divorce case that poison the children with lies and exaggerations about the former spouse. Pretty soon either one is believed over the other without question or neither is listened to anymore. Oh, the frustration.

Has it happened to you yet, it has to me, that your favorite party is hitting a rock solid point about the lies and exaggerations of the opponent, and next thing you know, here it comes right back. In judgmental thought, I condemn the lies. How could you! How can I believe or trust you! But then, here it comes back. How could you! How can I believe or trust you! Now who to believe? How do we even discuss the pros and cons of our candidates when they all take the low road?

I guess it finally goes to the record of each candidate for each issue of concern and watch the chips stack on whichever side of the issues we stand on. And about that opening line, as everything gets blamed on President Bush, research who made the rules, who fought against them, who warned about this potential problem and who shot it down. Of course, I suppose it depends on who we trust for the information we readily accept as truth.
