Waxing political....

[poltr1]

The election ads have begun. And so has the mudslinging.

It started with Ohio gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland, saying his oppoent John Kasich worked for Lehman Brothers (the failed Wall Street brokerage firm). The Republicans shot back, using Senatorial candidate Lee Fisher as the scapegoat for losing 400,000 jobs in Ohio.

I really don't know who to believe or trust anymore.

I lean toward the Democratic side of things, because they support the social liberal position.

Bottom line: Do I hold my nose and vote Democratic this November? Or do I risk pissing away my vote and voting Libertarian all the way?

I recommend factcheck.org to see if you can find actual truth. "X worked at Lehman Brothers" is verifiable; "Y was responsible for losing 400,000 jobs" may or may not be. Try before you decide.

I'm inclined to vote for the Democrats, just because the possibility of the Republicans -- and especially the Tea Party - getting back into power and completing the destruction of the economy, as begun under GW Bush, is too scary to contemplate.
