Biden’s 14 Lies

Fresh from the McCain people.

JOE BIDEN’S 14 LIES TONIGHT

1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.

2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.

3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”

4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.

5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.

6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.

7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people’s health insurance coverage — they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false

8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska — she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it’s not a windfall profits tax.

9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation — he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.

11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.

12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.

13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”

14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won’t pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

Rich, your Capitol Hill pals should give it up. That last justification (“We have to stick it into this bloated 450-page bill that’s got nothing to do with wooden arrows because we’re correcting an error from the previous 450-page bill that had nothing to do with wooden arrows”) only makes my point – that responsible government is impossible under this system. How many Senators read the bill they voted for or against? And, if they don’t, how can our representatives give us the Burkean judgment Peter Robinson was hymning the other day? Instead of one George III, we now have hundreds of George IIIs reliant on swollen retinues of courtiers to fill ’em in on what they’re signing off on.

A reader adds:

Not only does wooden arrow tax relief not belong in the Armageddon-Avoidance Act, it actually makes a mockery of the whole premise for the bill in the first place.  A week ago I was reluctantly willing to go along with the Armageddon Avoidance Act.  But the more these porkers load it up with junk, the less convinced I am that Armageddon was really a threat at all.  

Old mantra: When General Motors sneezes, America catches a cold.

New mantra: When Wachovia sneezes, the entire planet catches the ebola virus.

Hmm.

Investor’s Business Daily posted an opionion piece on Tuesday about the financial crisis we are going through.  I hope the investigation that has begun in New York State into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will not stop there.  It should continue to include those politicians in Washington who blocked reform on the reckless lending while taking large campaign contributions and entering into sweetheart mortgage deals.  I really think we need to throw anyone out of office who was part of this fiasco–not give them more money to play with.

One of the problems to be aware of in this year’s election is voter fraud.  ACORN is already being investigated in seven states for fraudulent voter registration.  Unfortunately, according the an article by Michelle Malkin, there are already numerous voting irregularities in Ohio.

The moderator of the Vice Presidential debate not only supports Obama, she is planning to release a book about him on Inauguration Day.  Watch the video at Breitbart.tv or read the lead story on the DRUDGE REPORT.  You can also go to Amazon.com and preorder the book.  Are we supposed to believe that she will be objective?  If he is not elected, her book sales will be markedly down.
