    Another Convention...More Half Truths

    By CKThompson  |  Posted September 5, 2012  |  North Carolina
     
    Just one day through the DNC and the media is already pointing out some of the inaccuracies made during some of the speeches yesterday.

    Does it really surprise anyone that conventions may be a little more loose with the facts?

    Maybe it is helpful to think of candidates/politicians as car salesmen...they love to point out the good while glossing over the bad. It is human nature to want to shy away from the uncomfortable truths.
