Truthfulness and forthrightness matter. When a presidential candidate and his running mate camouflage their actual positions to garner votes from the uninformed, it is appalling. When the mainstream media covers up the deception to promote their preferred candidates, it is outrageous. We have a right to know what the candidates' true positions are, from their own mouths, and any discrepancies should be headline news.

To illustrate what is going on, I am going to focus on the Second Amendment issue. Whether you are for or against the Second Amendment, you should expect to be told where the candidates really stand. Obama and Biden say that they support Second Amendment rights, but their actions over the years prove otherwise. The media is not only letting them get away with this deception, they are aiding and abetting it. Americans deserve honest political discourse, not subterfuge.
