Trail of Tall Tales

Interesting three part series exposing the half truths and outright lies that have been told up to now on the campaign trail. (Note: I noticed that they do go back much farther in Hillary's history than the other two. I don't think it's fair either, even if I don't like her...)

Hillary Clinton
John McCain
Barack Obama

Interesting. Have they made the same one for the current administration?

And yes probably unfair for Hillary - as McCain has been around for as long and longer. But still I think that Hillary's history in getting to this moment probably contains a LOT of interest...

I noticed that. they have 8 'lies' each for McCain and Obama, and 12 for Hilary. Seems just a little biased...

Or maybe Hillary just lies more.

I had to laugh at that.

Some of those (for all three of them) are pretty forgivable. I mean, confusing the name of a magazine you read when you were 9? Not remembering specifically what your daughter was doing in Manhattan on 9/11? Waiting until after the South Carolina primary to say they need to take down the confederate flag? IMO those aren't even lies.

Sigh. Politics as usual, I suppose. Some of the things (like McCain reversing himself on Roe V Wade) are more worrisome, though. I'd like a president who believes what he believes and doesn't pander to anyone. Not like that's ever happening.

Here's a site that I have found to be very unbiased in pointing out the lies (or inconvenient truths) that all the candidates (and other politicians) are telling.
