Obama/Biden lies of the week

Just trying to keep you straight with all the positive "change" Obama is bringing to politics:

An Obama radio ad is wrong: McCain still supports federal funding for stem cell research.
An Obama-Biden radio ad hammers McCain for being opposed to stem cell research. Not true.
By saying that "John McCain has stood in the way – he's opposed stem cell research," the Obama ad seriously misstates the view that McCain has held on this issue since 2001, when he began backing embryonic stem cell research, a position that was out of step with that of many of his fellow Republicans.
Here we see McCain being an independant...which makes the stupid, pathetic comments of liberals that McCain is just another Bush more embarrassing for anyone with a brain.

next...

A MoveOn.org Political Action ad plays the partisan blame game with the economic crisis, charging that John McCain’s friend and former economic adviser Phil Gramm “stripped safeguards that would have protected us.” The claim is bogus. Gramm’s legislation had broad bipartisan support and was signed into law by President Clinton. Moreover, the bill had nothing to do with causing the crisis, and economists – not to mention President Clinton – praise it for having softened the crisis.

Obama-Biden ad misrepresents the Social Security plan McCain supported.
Again.
An Obama-Biden TV ad once again twists McCain's position on Social Security.
It claims he backed a "plan to risk your Social Security in the stock market." In fact, the plan McCain endorsed in 2005 would have been voluntary, and workers could have put only one-third of their Social Security pension fund taxes into private accounts.
The new ad also asks viewers to imagine "your future retirement benefits" invested in Lehman Brothers, AIG or Merrill Lynch, three firms that collapsed recently. In fact, the accounts in the plan McCain backed could not have invested in any of those stocks directly. They would have been allowed to invest only in a few government-run stock or bond funds with risks spread over many companies and industries..

From the debate:
Biden wrongly claimed that McCain “voted the exact same way” as Obama on the budget bill that contained an increase on singles making as little as $42,000 a year. McCain voted against it. Biden was referring to an amendment that didn't address taxes at that income level.

Biden wrongly claimed that McCain had said "he wouldn't even sit down" with the government of Spain. Actually, McCain didn't reject a meeting, but simply refused to commit himself one way or the other during an interview.

Could I make a post of McCain and Palin stretching the truth...yes...However, Obama is the man of "change" He is above old politics...
Actually, he is as liberal as you get and his hand is stuck in dirty politics all the way up to his elbow.
