Some Fact Checking

1 min read

As the election season progresses we get to hear all sorts of crazy allegations by both sides concerning their opponent. Thankfully, with the handiness of the internet we can quickly find out who is lying, who is stretching the truth, who is simply mistaken, and who is actually being honest and accurate. Go figure!

If you watched any of the speeches at the two national conventions you might have found yourself wondering if the claims being made were the truth. Will Barack's tax plan really help 90% of Americans? Did Palin really sell her Jet on ebay? Was McCains approach to the Georgia/Russia situation that much different from Obama's? Did McCain really think we would "muddle through" Iraq? Well it turns out none of those statements are all that accurate. Both McCain and Obama were fairly loose in their definitions and statements. Unsurprisingly, many of the republican's speaking at the convention followed a similar pattern.
