Some facts adrift in veep debate - Yahoo! News

Read it and then comment if you wish, but don't comment without reading completely first. It would help if you actually watched the debate last night. Please elevate your comments beyond the typical rightist/leftist bashing.

Some prompting questions for you:

Do all candidates lie or just exagerrate a little bit? Can you justify lying because your candidate is the "better candidate" or "lesser of two evils"? Who can you trust?

What are they really promising? What is their platform?
What economic policies do they have? What foreign policy are they going to pursue? What are the problems they want to solve?

Why am I so bothered by these four candidates?
