Fact Checkers - those Great Purveyors of Truth


Beverly says: "I would love to see a bar under the candidates with the fact checkers score with each statement made by the candidates. Something like"liar, liar, pants on fire." Or "he might could do that."

It's bogus. The only difference with fact checkers is that they build themselves up as the great purveyors of truth, but like any news organization, they will have their bias as well. It's a way for liberals to pretend they have credibility, since the concept started as a hit job methodology. Of course we'll call every Republican a liar if it wins us more votes, just look at our history. But what if it wasn't us but a "fact checking organization" doing it? Now we sound credible.

I'd rather trust a person's track record. Every opponent Obama/Axelrod have faced has fallen under the same hit job approach. Desperate to pry open sealed divorce records, they use any means necessary... media hysteria is a good one, whatever it takes. Romney, being monogamous, requires a different approach. Tax records - we demand to see them. What is he hiding? Bain capital? How uncaring! How many times can we as Americans allow this same formulaic nonsense to pull the wool over our eyes? It's like Weekend at Bernie's Part 7, or rather The Godfather part VIII.

Romney has integrity, success, and a long track record of caring for people, improving their lives, raising a family, and public service. Those are the facts I care about.
It’s almost like a serial killer’s signature. Unsealed personal records have been released to the press. Obama must be running for office!
So you can see what a pickle the Obama campaign is in having to run against a Dudley Do-Right, non-drinking, non-smoking, God-fearing, happily married Mormon.
