Make fact-checking feature part of the debate

If this election is going to be based on reality and the truth, then there should be some way to work the up-to-the-minute fact-checking that's now available into the debate and into the news analysis that follows. Half-truths should not be tolerated by either side and then passed off as objective news.

In the debates - do not even stretch the truth, be 100% honest.

Check factcheck.org or politifact.com before the debates, look at the facts you have stretched in the past - and don't repeat them. Instead use only things that are 100% true (there are more than enough) ... this way after the debates they will have to discuss the TRUTH .. not say you are misrepresenting anything.

Turn McCain and Palin's Words Against Each Other

It's obvious after Palin's first interviews that she and McCain don't agree. Put their words against each other, and IN CONTEXT for the FactCheckers out there. If not you, at least get your 527s to do it. Let the McCain campaign implode for you.

Stick to the Balls-Honest Truth.

No lies. No half-truths. Dont stretch the truth. No misleading statements. Only the flat out truth. Some of the things you say are only true if you look at it from a certain perspective, when from another perspective its misleading, or only half true. Avoid statements that can be rebutted. Attack if you want, but explain the whole truth, even the half of it that doesnt work in your favor.

Lead like a Leader

Obama should stop pussy footing around and speak his truth. He'll alienate some on the right, but only the ones who would have voted republican anyway, and he'll gain independants and centrist republicans while energizing democrats.

Use a 527 as Factchecker to spread the Truth

Use one of the 527's to just have commercials debunking McCain/Palin negative ads and negative statements. And that is all, have it be as unbiased as possible, no endorsement for any candidate, just to get out the truth. This will gain credibility and people, knowing the truth, will make the right choice for themselves.

The election is not about Obama (aka Crush Those Fuckers!)

I'm sick of this and I know we all are. It's time to get off the high horse and take them down!

In our personal lives we change jobs, dump boyfriends and return products when they don’t live up to our expectations. Why don’t we do the same when it comes to our politics?

CHARACTER: ATTACK THEM WITH THE TRUTH!

It's now about honesty. They've overreached this week and we have them! Americans are tired of the Bush lies. They have been mislead over the last 8 years and they know it. McCain says he's a straight talking maverick, but his campaign is full of misleading information and lies that people are aware of. ATTACK THIS.
