  <body>I found this extremely helpful

Wanna know what Obama &amp; McCain are actually quoted as saying, about any issue?

minus most of the spin you will get from the biased various media outlets?

awesome resource

to help you decide for yourself...quit listening to the talking heads...and biased bloggers.

      <body>What's so hard about reading through the spin? This stuff is usually so transparent, the problem really is that people are catching their politics when they flip from "Keeping up with the Kardashians" to "So You Think You Can Dance" headlines are all they see.

I am not trying to be condescending but it is hard to keep up with world events when you spend your days fighting to keep your family fed. No wonder so many people opt for escapism.
