Joe Biden Challenges Press to ‘Fact Check Me’
Source: ABC News
ZANESVILLE, Ohio Vice President Joe Biden extended an invitation to the media to check the veracity of his claims on Medicare, telling the press to fact check me.
What theyre proposing, and this is a fact. I say to the press, Fact check me, Biden said at Zane Grey Elementary School in Zanesville. What theyre proposing will actually cause the Medicare trust fund that pays for the benefits when you go to the hospital, the doctor, etc., to run out of money, a sufficient amount of money by 2016. Thats when it would hit the wall.

By the way, its amazing how they dont like to be fact checked, right? Isnt that amazing? Were not going to be bound by those fact checkers, Biden said of the Romney campaign.
Biden said he was eager to discuss the policies Republicans did not mention at their convention, telling the crowd, They dont have the courage to tell you what these new policies are. I do. Ive got the courage to tell you. Im anxious to tell you.
If youd been dropped down from Mars and had been in a time capsule in the last hundred years, and you got dropped down from Mars and turned on the convention, and you heard him talking about Medicare, youd think that really, youd think they really cared about it. Youd think its something they thought of, he said.

(6,440 posts)Some time back, there was a website (can't remember the name of it, so not sure if it is still going) that billed itself as a conservative answer to Snopes. Unlike Snopes, with its pesky liberal concern for truth, this site only used cult-approved sources. So entries would go something like:
BARACK OBAMA WAS BORN IN HAWAII. FALSE. Glenn Beck done said he was born in Kenya.

LOVE JOE!

(29 posts)Ask ourselves if we will be better off after 4 years if the Republicans win the White House.
Will you be better off when your Social Security is cut and Medicare goes on a vouture system. Do you understand what the voucher system is? You will receive a voucher for $8, 000. Any medical bills over the $8,000 will be paid out of YOUR pocket.
When they cut back on teachers and education, firemen, policemen, college loans,vets benefits, medicaid, unions and collective bargaining, planned parenthood,and write new child labor laws,will you be better off? Gingerich suggested that POOR 6 year old children should get a job as a janitor.Santorum says President Obama is a snob because he wants all children to have a chance to go to college.
They refused to pass the Obama bill for new jobs. In all my years, I have never seen the Republican party so heartless and cruel. They are telling you right out what they will do. Do you think they won't do all these things? Will you be better off after 4 years of Romney ? WILL YOU BE SATISFIED WHEN THEY RAISE THE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS BUT REFUSE TO RAISE THEM ON THE RICH?
Most of these things are in the Ryan budget. Believe it when they say what they will do.
VOTE FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA and save the country.

(30,058 posts)I listened to Hannity say how everything said at the DNC was lies, all lies and never did he point to one lie and what was the truth. He probably does not know about fact checkers. And then he can't let the dedicated faux listeners know DNC tells the truth, it would get him fired.
