Politics is a tough sport. However when one party resorts to a 24/7 policy of not only misinformation and mischaracterizations but mostly verifiable lies, it presents a dilemma. How can you discuss policy when you do not have a party that has factual information in public to present?
The leader of the Republican Party Reince Priebus is proof positive that this election will not be an election that will give the American opportunity to make a choice. To make a choice requires that both sides at least tell the truth of what specific policy they will put forth to Americans. President Obama while not in the details that I would like to see has given us that roadmap.
The Republicans are just saying the President will destroy the country and we won’t. How can America really make a choice under that premise? Will you choose the unknown over the known? America, please forget about all the rhetoric on all sides and read the Romney/Ryan Budget in detail. Then read Nobel Prize winning Paul Krugman’s interpretation.

Reince Priebus: Elect Mitt Romney To ‘Save America’ (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday that Mitt Romney must be elected in November in order to "save America," arguing that if President Barack Obama gets reelected, "our way of life" is at stake.
"Save America. Fire Barack Obama and hire Mitt Romney," Priebus said on "Fox News Sunday." "Mitt Romney has to win for the sake of the very idea of America. Mitt Romney has to win for liberty and freedom."
Priebus’ comments came during a discussion of the June jobs numbers, which showed the unemployment rate holding even at 8.2 percent. He ratcheted up a common GOP narrative that attempts to delegitimize the Obama presidency, veering into outright accusations of Obama being un-American.
Several such statements have been made by Congressional Republicans over the last few years, going back to a claim by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) in fall 2008 that Obama is "anti-American." But while the head of the Republican Party is always a partisan attack dog, RNC chairmen have previously steered clear of accusing Obama of treason.
Priebus went on to pin the stagnant economy on Obama, arguing that Republican obstruction, including last summer’s unprecedented debt-ceiling standoff, was not a relevant factor in the November election.
"The president is the head of this country. The fish rots at the head," Priebus said. "I don’t think people are begging for another four years of this misery … with a president who acts like he’s not living on Earth."

Might want to fix “leader of the Democratic Party Reince Priebus”. List I checked, he was lying for the Republicans
Chris Riffert says
I think you inadvertently referred to Mr. Preibus as the head of the Democratic Party. Otherwise, totally agree!
