I Would Like To Know

I would like to know whom I should believe. The political ads airing the past few days really confuse me. Meg Witman is either a saint or the devil. Jerry Brown either wants to raise taxes or he wants to lower them. Barbara Boxer is either too old to do the job or she has worked so hard for so long she deserves another term. I don't know if Cuomo had sex with many people or is still a virgin. Will anyone air a comercial which states the facts? We need that dude from Dragnet; "Just the facts mam!" The political pundits all have opposing facts - they can't all be right and they cant all be wrong - so who should we believe? Will any politician give me a private audience so I can ask them the questions I want answered? Will you approve more cuts to education? Will you crack down on illegal immigration? Will you support unions? Have you cheated on your spouse? Have you lied during an interview? Will you take money from lobbyists? Will you take money from me? Do you have a sense of humor and a sense of honor? The facts which matter are not discussed. Each political ad contradicts the next and the next and the next - how are we suppose to know what to believe? How are we supposed to make an informed vote when we don't have accurate information? Someone please help me figure this out. These mid-term elections are so important. Not just for the next four years - they are important for the future of our children. Our education system, our health care system, our welfare system, our social security system - These elections are important - am I the only one who thinks that?
