When election time comes around and people have to decide whom to vote for, there should be somewhere to verify truth from fiction.

Just look at the commercials on television, beamed at us continuously with one side saying they are telling the truth and ditto for the other. They both cannot be correct. In some instances, they both should be growing long noses.

I’ve always taken the time to listen, read and absorb what is going on here and across the nation. I keep abreast of our elected officials, and I am thoroughly upset how one in particular distorts her accomplishments now, when she has a qualified opponent challenging her. Yet the polls show her leading.

Am I wasting my time analyzing the issues? I do not think so.

I’ll be voting for the better candidate and the polls be darned.
