Idaho State Journal: "Dissent is a birthright of America. People have come to this nation seeking freedom. People have fought and died for this nation and its freedoms. That freedom is more than the freedom to agree with the policies and personalities of the party in power, Republican or Democrat. America was born of dissent against rule by George III. Early politics was filled with much more vitriol than we see today. Jefferson was called the Anti-Christ, Adams was labeled a warmonger with ambitions of kingship, and a partisan newspaper of the day termed the common sewer of all filth in the state. In later years, presidential candidates were tarred with claims about fathering bastards, mental disease and morals that would do credit to Satan. It is the same today. And when the ballots are counted in November, the losing side will complain that the voters were swayed by the demagoguery of the other side. They will say that had the people known the facts and made their choices based on those facts, the results would have changed. Why not give people the chance to know those facts now, when it will make a difference? Instead of making rabid attacks on the other side, why not look for the facts about the upcoming election. Who can be afraid of the truth: The person who knows his position is supported by reality or the person who fears the voting public will find out what is really going on? Let us rely less on an advocate's ability to shout louder and spin harder and rely more on objective facts. Let us seek out reliable sources whose facts we check out instead of simply and blindly accepting them. Finally, let us be accountable for the government we have. It is, after all, a government of the people, by the people and for the people."
I don't think I need to say anything to this. Because this writer said it all,I agree, We do have the right to make up our own minds don't let no-one tell you other wise.
