Here is an example of how you can put a few words with a photo to fabricate a political point. It doesn't make it necessarily true, but it has all the look and feel of "truthiness." Of course, this type of propaganda is a misdirection, of sorts, and therefore it is important for voters, who are trying to make informed decisions, to identify where the misdirection is coming from. Which side of the issue is providing the misdirection?
Which side wins? Will it be platitudes, silly unmeasurable promises, threats of drying up money and cute pictures? Or will it be facts and figures?
Facts are important to me. Being a former Northsider, I know what the lady at the Northside presentation meant when she said last night: "...all we ever get is the crumbs."
Whichever way you decide to vote tomorrow its important to vote. I encourage all eligible voters to get out and vote.
