Mate Debate: Fact checking

Oct 02, 2008 21:57

Fred Thompson has just debunked a handful of Biden's comments about McCain and about Biden himself:
1.  McC did support Clinton about Bosnia and he also strong-armed Thompson to do the same.
2.  Biden was adamantly opposed to coal in the US.

From other sources.... Biden goofs:
1.  The Vice President does have a legislative role, and the VP doesn't just preside over the Senate in case of a tie. The VP only votes in case of a tie, but voting isn't the same as presiding.
2.  Spending in Afghanistan versus Iraq.  He's off by about 2000%.  Plus his time comparisons is a little more than screwy.
3.  Article I of the Constitution deals with the legislative branch, not the executive.

Ace actually has a roundup of fourteen Biden/Obama not truths or lies as they are called on his post.  Go take a look here.  A quick look through, they do not overlap what I mentioned above.

Oh dear.  The list keeps growing.

Added:  Hezbollah was not kicked out of Lebanon and NATO has yet to fulfill their troop commitment there.

ps. Did i say earlier that I loved how she threw the MSM to the curb with her directed comment?  Well regardless. I'll say it here.  Go Palin!  Well done.
