I don't even really blame bigjon for these views same as I don't think brainwashed liberals spouting the same old Democratic party lines aren't at fault either. Politics is a very personal issue as whoever wins will help determine many aspects of our lives for several years to come. It's only reasonable for people to feel a personal interest in their candidate.

So we pounce on the other candidate's shortcomings and gaffes and magnify them until we assure ourselves that they will destroy the country and our candidate is the true answer to all of our problems while ignoring our own candidate's problems or just brushing them out of the way. Like in bigjon's example where McCain was responsible for "misleading political spin" while Obama outright lied.

Bigjon, you should check out http://www.factcheck.org/

It'll point out where both Obama and McCain have lied and misled voters.
