I came across an article that had links to some really good sources on keeping up with politics. I think my favorite is the Truth-o-Meter (
http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/ ) because they have a "pants on fire" with animated flames pic next to items where someone was lying their pants off. hee OK and sure, it makes it a fast visual on who's lying more frequently. :)
Here's more, saving you time and bother trying to find facts all in one place:
http://factcheck.org/http://www.opensecrets.org/ (find out who donated money to whom!)
http://realclearpolitics.org/http://thomas.loc.gov/ (From the Library of Congress, find who wrote/supported what bills)
