Running on Empty

Just a couple examples.

Another bad ad discredited by Factcheck.org :

"A New Stitch in a Bad Pattern
September 2, 2008
A McCain ad wrongly claims Obama plans "painful tax increases" for working families. And who's talking about deficits? "

And the Repubs Convention isn't over and they're already slinging BS, which I must add is already discredited at FactCheck.org even before it was over this evening :

"GOP Convention Spin
September 3, 2008
Lieberman and Thompson make misleading claims about Obama on Day Two of the party in St. Paul."

" FACT CHECK: Biden, almost 80,000 votes
From NBC's Domenico Montanaro ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Mike Huckabee made the claim that Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.
For the record, Joe Biden got 79,754 total votes in the Democratic primaries.
As of the 2000 census, the population of Wasilla was 5,469. It has been reported at currently more than 9,000.
That would mean, conservatively, the entire town of Wasilla would have had to have had a 100% turnout for nine years at 9,000 to top Biden's primary numbers."

Too bad they can't run on facts.
