Posted By Spinward 3 months ago in NewsThe ad says that McCain "took Bush's side against increasing health care benefits for veterans." But he actually voted to increase veterans' health care benefits, though not by as much as Democrats proposed.

I am bookmarking this site as it is very insightful and seems to call it honestly. Too many people fall for the deceptions that fly during the election seasons and it is good to know who the liars actually are... so we can remember them later.

Nice catch Spin.
Just another example of the DNC attack arm. That's what AFL-CIO is these days. 100 years ago, even 50 years ago, they were out to protect their union members. Today, they're little more than a shill for the DNC. I think they should answer questions from their members concerning the failure of the DNC to support drilling now. GM Janesville will be closing this year, 5-10,000 people effected, yet the AFL-CIO still support the folks who refuse to drill. Less oil means higher priced fuel. Higher priced fuel means less SUV's. Less SUV's means less American jobs. Way to go AFL-CIO. Now instead of simply destroying one car maker, you're destroying your own union base. Way to go!!! Bunch of union thug losers....

Hi BB... I got a GREAT email about the truth regarding ANWR. It's making the rounds through the net and I hope you got a copy. The sheer idiocy in not drilling in such a barren and desolate location while we sit on enough to sustain us for years is simply mind-boggling.

I've been there. It's about as close to wasteland as you can get. We need such a small area to drill yet the left is afraid we'd damage the balance between ... what I have no idea. And I was there in the summer. Then again, when did our left ever care about America before. They'd rather see the job cuts and profits go elsewhere.

I am not arguing with you on ANWAR, but before that is done USA should be drilling in Colorado and the Dakotas first, due to cost.
ANWAR will happen sooner or later, as I understand it it is the pipeline that is the hold up.
Alaska has awarded TransCanada Pipeline the deal to build the pipeline but only if Alaska votes to build it, it is not a done deal
And also since this 18 Billion $ line will be going through Canada, there is way to much red tape with Gov and private land to cut through; 75% of these have been done already by TransC, but some lands have to have 55 diferent Gov., Indian, Prov., Municipal agencies to deal with, and let not talk about environment resistance, it is an argument that will have people heated up.

Hey, this is just another repug misnamed website. Remember when Cheney recommended it? No wonder, it only gives the info to support its right leaning arguments. Like when Bush took away war zone pay... the article on factcheck only said the soldiers would be ocmpensated by some other means. Good to see you right wingers patting eachother on the back again... even if you have once again been decieved!

"Christopher Monckton, who once advised Margaret Thatcher, demonstrates via 30 equations that computer models used by the UN's climate panel (IPCC) were pre-programmed with overstated values for the three variables whose product is "climate sensitivity"

The Unions have been lying to their members for decades.The problem for them is member can read, and write now. They even have computers, facts at their fingertips. It is harder to flim flam them.
