First, no the truth doesn't matter in political campaigns. The truth has NEVER mattered and the truth that you are referring to (for both parties) is the whitewashed, safe for consumption truth. The REAL truth about Washington would include all the backroom meetings and secret handshakes and I suspect that if we all knew the REAL truth none of the people in Washington would stand a chance of being elected.
So, getting that out of the way, politics has been and always will be about presenting your version of the truth to your best advantage.
According to your own fact checker, Obama did vote for the bill that would have allowed schools to teach sex education to kindergardeners, right?
So, voting for a bill is....not supporting it? Do you have to sponsor a bill to be considered to have supported it? This seems to be the point of the writer when she calls it a "low blow".
So, if Obama voted for the bill and McCain said he supported the bill where is the falsehood?
