FACT CHECK: McCain persists in exaggerations

[forrest]

NEW YORK (AP) — A week from the presidential election, Republican John McCain is persisting in exaggerating and misrepresenting rival Barack Obama's tax and health-care plans.

In his latest campaign stump speech, McCain portrays himself as a time-tested warrior who will fight passionately for the middle class as president. "These are hard times," he proclaims, promising to enact policies that will create new jobs, help people stay in their homes, and protect their retirement accounts.

The well-crafted speech, with stirring references to McCain's five and a half years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and his plans for the nation, goes off track when it comes to Obama's policies.

It just makes me ill that Mccain can bitch and moan over Obama spending money wheres its needed and we spend 10 billion dollars a month on a war that he says we have to stay in and win that is killing thousands of innocent people. 50 billion dollars a year in clean energy is a drop in the bucket. No one is going to "win" this war. Greedy old f&^%!!!!!!!!

the fundamentals of our economy are strong

the polls are wrong

we've got him right were we want him

it all reminds me of how bush would be told his plans and policies werent workign, so he'd make a big hoo ha about forming a bi partisan comittee, which often enough would tell him his policies werent working, so he'd ignore them and do whatever he'd want anyway

ignore the truth and subistute your own
