Joe Biden Lies 14 Times During Debate...

Each time Senator Biden was on his heels, he looked directly into the camera and lied -- more than a dozen times by our count. He lied about John McCain's record, his own record, and Barak Obama's dangerous policies. Governor Palin showed the American people tonight why a McCain-Palin Administration will bring real reform, leadership, and straight talk to Washington." --Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

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. [We all heard him say it. Does the man think we're all stupid? Or are we back to "what the meaning of 'is' is? TG]

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." [I'm sure I heard Obie telling us to inflate our tires—and get "tune-ups" (wha??)...and that it would save as much oil as drilling offshore, which he was against. Again...are we stupid? Senile? Does he think we don't listen, or just can't remember?]

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. [Lying fucking liar. How dare he suggest that McCain has anything in common whatsoever with Obama regarding "the troops"! TG]

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. [I personally heard the man say "there will be no coal plants in America...", with my own ears. Again...does he think we are stupid or senile? TG]

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. [I'm sure he's lying...but would you mind if McCain didn't vote for Ethanol? Somehow I just can't work up much outrage on this one. TG]

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. [Investors' Business Daily says it's false too. It's a little complicated, which is probably why Biden and Obie don't understand it, but the bottom line is, many people will pay LESS with McCain's plan...TG]

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. [Biden and Obie wouldn't know a 'reform' if it bit them in the ass. No surprise they don't understand what Palin did. TG]

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. [C'mon, like they care. Defeat they understand. Victory is impossible, that's their story and they're sticking to it. TG]

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie. [In light of the fact of the total financial meltdown that is going to steal most of our savings, and collapse the dollar, caused almost exclusively by the Democrats, this charge is the most outrageous of them all. McCain and Bush are among the few who consistently sounded the alarm about Fannie and Freddie, and it was the Democrats who willfully lied, hid the real damage, supported corrupt friends while they profited from and destroyed Freddie and Fannie...and stonewalled any reform or regulation that might have saved us from this universal and profound disaster. This is a LIE worthy of the Lord of Lies, may they all burn in hell...TG]

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. [Precisely and obviously, and demonstrably the exact opposite of the truth. That would make this A LIE. TG]

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. [Not to mention that everyone will pay the "business taxes" if they buy from a business, or work for one...d'oh! TG]

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." [Don't even get me started on the fucking 'bailout'. McCain blew his chance BIG TIME to stand up for the people and good government on this! TG]

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. [Well, the people who already don't pay taxes WILL get more free money from those who do, does THAT count? TG]
