Union helps in dispelling lies

The same old politics coming from the Republican side of the Presidential campaign – lie, lie, lie to slander the other guy, count on your opponent to be too moral to stoop to your level, and hope that inspires “your base” to turn out for you.

The right continues spreading lies about Obama, rather than focusing on the positives of their candidate. There are all kinds of weird stuff they’re flinging around, from claiming he’ll tax water, to saying he’s somehow behind high gas prices, to ties to terrorists. Now the AFL-CIO is getting into the rumor-squashing frey:

It’s good to be on the left, where lies are fought with the truth, and better policies are offered instead of reflecting the right’s tactics. Too bad the right feels they must resort to lies, as democracy would be better served by the two sides talking, rather than having one side choosing to just yell rumors.
