Political Fact Checking

http://www.dailynews.com/breakingnew...m-frankenfacts

WASHINGTON - And now, to conclude, a few parting misstatements.

Come Wednesday, or sometime later if the election result is still in the balance, only one man will be left standing and the loser's inventory of misleading claims, out-of-context assertions and warped-reality advertising will fade into some inglorious corner of history. But we're not quite done with them yet.

Is this reliable reporting?

And does anyone believe that Sandy will affect voting?

Re: Political Fact Checking

Same information that I've read. I think it's accurate. I agree with a friend of mine. I am more concerned with Romney's statements as he aligns himself with being the "severe' conservative.

A part of the section under Obama in Green Bay is my huge problem with Romney. They go on to refute some of Obama's claims against Romney, BUT then go on the say, "Romney won't be specific."

That is my huge problem with Romney. And that is where I believe the presidency will be won or lost - by one of these two things:

1. Are people afraid of Obama in a second term? - They vote Romney
2. Are people uncomfortable with Romney not being specific? - They vote Obama

It's going to be up to the voters on that one.

It is just scary to me that our choices are so limited, and everyone lies.
We have seen the enemy and it is us.

If it does, it wont' be by much. Obama was drawing a contrast between himself and Bush's handling of Katrina. Romney did his funding raising stint to overshadow Obama.

Yeah, I think Bush and Obama did what any sitting President could do in this situation. Romney just showed to me to be a donkeys behind.

It was hilarious the photo-ops he had taken and people were swooning at how he loves to help. Anyone with a brain knew what he was up to. Looked like Ryan's soup kitchen photo-op. They all do it though.
