The MSM refuses to get the facts right,,,




A scorecard separating fact from fiction

Joe Sestak

Despite ad's focus on seniors, Toomey's proposal would exempt them
Pat Toomey "still supports privatizing Social Security."

Dino Rossi

Murray likes earmarks
The Seattle Times called Patty Murray "a 'prolific sponsor of earmarks.' Patty even defended the 'Bridge to Nowhere.' "

Mark Kirk

What did he know, and when?
As state treasurer, Alexi Giannoulias "lost $73 million in our kids’ college savings."

John Raese

Another in the long line of rhetorical excesses by health bill opponents
Under the new health care law, "the first person (a) patient has to go to is a bureaucrat. That is called a panel."

John Kasich

Might as well call him "Ted the Destroyer"
"Ted Strickland destroyed Ohio jobs when he busted the budget."

Alexi Giannoulias

Devil's in the fine print
"Mark Kirk: Lied about going to war. Opposed middle class tax cuts. And said unemployment’s not that big an issue."

Jack Conway

We check the part of the ad that wasn't about Aqua Buddha
Rand Paul wants "to end all federal faith-based initiatives, and even end the deduction for religious charities."

Ron Johnson

Claim centers on a critical news release that actually prompted changes to the project in question
Says Russ Feingold supported a stimulus plan that allowed a company to create 3,000 jobs in China.

Michael Bennet

Buck hasn't backed off this one
Ken Buck wants to "outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape or incest."

U.S. Chamber of Commerce

What? It gives tax credits to small business.

Edit: The truth will prevail in the end...
