...major party's campaign. I would like to think that all the unethical conduct is only a mutual and relatively equal reaction to the other's bias. Yet an objective tally proves otherwise. Obama's mistakes have been mainly exaggerations and minor factual errors. He has also used some sound bites and headlines that may offer misconceptions about McCain's motives and ideas. However, when it comes to innuendo, unethical half-truths, character assassination and, yes, plain miserable, rotten lies - I would give McCain the prize.

After all, the end of our summer romance pretty much fit the typical archetype; we tearfully said our goodbyes, recalling the glorious summer months, and declared our intention to reunite one day in the (near) future...
...representative answers to his constituents. Recently, however, both liberals and conservatives have forced issues such as gun control and gay marriage into courts in an attempt to bypass the legislative branch. Invariably, this leads the opposing side to counter by creating a constitutional amendment to overrule the judicial branch. Sound legislation based on compromise and accountability gives way to an arms race for legal enforcement. In this environment, positions may win, but the people ultimately lose...
