Presidential Elections – Trick or Treat?

Trick or Treat? 

It’s hard to tell with this Presidential Election coming to a close in less than a week whether we wil have a trick or treat. Have we got all the facts to make a good decision? Will the Presidential candidates actually do what they propose when elected?

Will there be a trick or treat?

With new technology on the Internet providing instant replays of everything the candidates say and do, voters are probably more informed about this presidential election than they have ever been in the past.

Social media sites like www.capzles.com have provided voters with an incredible means of viewing and listening to all the information one could possibly want on each candidate’s past and present. Capzles.com allows users to upload documents, videos and photographs of whatever they choose and then the information is organized on a time line.

All of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates have a time-line style profile, complete with photos, videos and all their ads. You can see instant replays of the aircraft accident that John McCain was in during his younger years. You can actually see the plane skidding off the runway of the ship. You can also see pictures of him being pulled out of a Hanoi lake by the North Vietnamese after his plane was shot down. View the actual film footage of him as a prisoner, lying in a hospital bed in Vietnam. 

Sarah Palin, mother, moose hunter, maverick, mayor, governor also has an impressive time line. The time line is full of short clips and photos of her career and service.

Barack Obama’s time capsule is equally impressive.  Photos from childhood through the present are interesting to look at. He has posted videos of all of his campaign speeches and one that shows the Charles Keating, Lincoln Savings and loan scandal where five U.S. Senators, including John McCain were investigated for their role in helping Charles Keating to get his charges of fraud reduced. 

Joe Biden’s time capsule is rather sparse with only one photo of him.  Wonder why that happened?

So this next week when you go to vote, there should be no excuse for not being informed about which Presidential candidate you are voting for. Don’t let there be any tricks for you!
