Go vote early and stop with the political posts.

Ob audio: Anyone heard the Kinks' Village Green special edition?

Funny, I don't see you asking anyone else to stop.

I presented a chance for people to get input on both candidates and
their
relative honesty.

No, you've presented a highly partisan pro-Bush perspective heavily
informed by rightwing talk radio and RNC talking points.

Which Republican talking points are these that you obviously missed in
the
first post of this thread?


The format of the piece implies an equality of dishonesty. A Bush big
lie is 'balanced' by a Kerry lie which in this case are small quibbles
or ordinary campaign rhetoric.

The piece does make the point that Bush will repeat his lies even after
he's been called on them.

Bush has also released a new ad about health care titled "Complicated
Plan"
that echoes previous distortions of Kerry's health care proposals. In it,
his campaign describes the health care plan of "John Kerry and liberals
in
Congress" as "A big government takeover," language that closely resembles
an
ad last month describing Kerry's plan as putting "big government in
charge."
As we showed at the time, the charge is a dishonest portrayal of Kerry's
health care plan, which leaves most of the system in the hands of private
insurers.

The President has made a habit of repeating previously disproved charges
in
his television advertising. As FactCheck.org also showed, two recent ads
that have aired thousands of times, "Thinking Mom" and "Clockwork",
repeat
scurrilous charges. Both say Kerry voted to raise gas taxes ten times - a
false charge we have previously debunked. The total of ten votes includes
a
number of procedural votes and votes against gas tax cuts. In fact,
Senator
Kerry voted for only one gas tax increase.

Both ads also allege that Kerry and liberals in Congress voted for higher
taxes "350 times." But as we also pointed out back in March, this figure
includes votes against tax cuts and even ones in favor of Democratic tax
cut
proposals that were smaller than those offered at the time by
Republicans.

John Kerry and George Bush seem determined to make the last weeks of the
campaign a compilation of factual contradictions and "greatest hits" of
spin
from the past year.

Were you born stupid and a liar or is it an acquired talent?


At least I can distinguish quoted material in a post. Speaking of
stupid, snipping all the anti-Kerry stuff doesn't help your case.

Another lie. Go to spinsanity and check.

And one piece with an attempt at balance must be weighed against your
long history of partisan attack posts.


It's not the first time I've posted articles form spinsanity and factcheck
that had criticism of both candidates.

Am I biased, certainly, but with good reason.
