Never mind his support of torturing babies literally an inch from the liberal’s definition of human being — breathing–with scissors jammed in their skull from behind as if they’re being shot in the back (never a noble thing) and their brains sucked out while they’re wiggling, never mind that because 7 million God believing evangelicals totally forgot his stand on abortion and infanticide, letting survivors of a botched abortion die in a waste can, he’s debting us into oblivion.

Oblivion is where the religion part of the post comes in because no where in the final days prophecies do you find a benevolent super power who regularly spends the blood of American youth to save other countries’ collective butts from one tyrannical dictator after another.

This man is a predecessor to, not THE, but the opening act for the world dictator we not so fondly call the Anti-Christ.  He is taking down our shields, our underwear if you will, for any enemy to walk right in to pillage, rape, and destroy.

So if you are under 35 and you voted for change, and you have been operating under the assumption that you and you children will go on as we have been before — jobs, raises, vacations, going to church if you feel like it, new cars, retirement — you’re the proverbial ostrich with head in sand, a fryin’, flippin’ cross-eyed, drooling doorknob variety moron!!! (no offense to currently institutionalized clinically defined morons and true morons are rare).

Why?  You’ve been listening to the mainstream media.  CNN ain’t the news, it’s the mouthpiece of the new USSA Kremlin!!!

In case you’re still reading, try a quote from Neal Boortz on for size.  Do stop in the middle and inhale deeply for a little extra oxygen just in case your comprehension skills make A.C.O.R.N. volunteers jealous.

Obama released the details of his budget yesterday. This disaster is 1,500 pages long. We can’t afford the $3.4 trillion price tag. The money simply isn’t there. Obama believes that the more money the federal government spends, the greater America becomes. This is the mindset of a man who believes that our greatness comes from government. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so in love with government as Barack Obama.

Oddly enough, the news today isn’t that Obama is proposing spending $3.4 trillion. The media is all abuzz over the news that Obama has proposed cutting $17 billion in spending and completely eliminating some programs. Let’s get real folks .. this $17 billion is just one-half of one percent of Obama’s budget. Government spending has doubled in the past eight years … and if all you can find to cut is one-half of one percent than you aren’t worth a damn as an administrator or CFO.

What’s more … PrezBO’s list of proposed budget and program cuts is less than the list put forth by George Bush proposed last year. Bush proposed $34 billion in savings. Now speaking of proposed spending and program cuts … just because these cuts are proposed doesn’t mean that they actually happen. In fact, half of Obama’s proposed cuts are the very same ones that Bush tried to get nixed from the budget when he was in office.

Earlier this week I told you of news reports that the Obama White House was using the services of a behavioral psychologist for briefings on the way people react to large dollar figures. Interestingly enough, most people can’t differentiate between $17 million and $17 billion. Once the numbers get that high they all bland into a numerical sameness. This means that Obama can propose spending $3.4 trillion and then propose $17 billion in savings and the people think that he is actually doing something incredible! Aren’t you comforted by the idea that the president is hiring behavioral psychologists to help him pull the wool over your eyes?

Here is something to keep in mind. Posturing about spending cuts usually means nothing. Presidents generally roll out a long list of spending cuts. It’s all for show. The cuts are generally ignored by Congress. So while he may tout the fact that he is proposing a cut of $17 billion, the chances of that actually happening are as slim as my chances with Angelina Jolie – and she’s so covered with ink I don’t think I’m interested anymore. Let’s go with Allison Krause.

Here is something else to keep in mind. Even if Congress adopted these proposed cuts, it would not actually reduce government spending. In fact, Obama’s budget is going to increase overall spending. So any savings that Obama may generate from these cuts will be used to pay for more government programs … the ones that Obama wants to create, like government healthcare.

Amidst these proposed cuts, what gets an increase in federal funding??

The IRS. Yep, Obama wants to double the funds for the IRS to enforce tax laws. There’s another $890 million of your tax dollars. Rather than spending more money to enforce a tax system that doesn’t work and punishes achievement, how about implementing a new tax system that will allow the taxpayers to keep this money and allow businesses to bring jobs to this country without fear of being punished by the government.

Then there’s endless examples of mindless government pork projects. While Obama’s budget does seek to cut several education programs, (won’t happen) there are a few other “educational” programs that were seen as worthy of maintaining their federal funding. One, for instance, is a $9 million program to promote the history of whaling and trade in Massachusetts.

Here’s a list of all the programs that Obama is cutting in this budget. One of these cuts, by the way, is a 9% cut in the unit of the Department of Labor that’s in charge of regulating unions. Gotta thank the people that put you in office.

The pattern of the leader of the gathering standing before the sitting congregation was established from way, way, way back before Peter stood before the crowd on the day of Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, although  I don’t think they looked at each other and called it that.

Paul preached and they listened.  He instructed Timothy on how to conduct his congregation.  Congregations grew, leaders stood before them and preached.

The structure of preacher in pulpit and people in chairs worked then, it is Biblical, and it has worked since then so well that the 20th century has witnessed the phenomenon of the Mega Church.  I don’t know for sure how many have to be present to reclassify a church from big to mega, if it’s a comma in the figure as in 999 to 1,000 or maybe 2k to 3k.  A successful transition demands a significant increase in budget and administration of money and programs.  In some cases the gospel continues to reach out and strengthen within.  In others, not so much.

Honey’s brother and his family were Lutherans, the dominant denomination in Minnesota and theirs was the largest congregation in our town of 6,500.  The second largest was also Lutheran.  Other denoms were represented, in some cases two or three of each.  I think the town’s church buildings totaled over 30.  They all used the lecture system with people in chairs or pews, some of whom squirmed, some who slept, daydreamed, or doodled  on the bulletin.  In Paul’s day, a boy slept in the windowsill, fell to the ground and died.  The sermon was merely interrupted raising him to life and continued.

Brother-in-law asked us once what our membership was when he saw how crowded our small Christian Church building was.  About a third of what you see in attendance.   The proportion was reversed in his–many more members than attendees.  Annual pledge drives were a huge headache for them.  Many of ours tithed.  Big difference.

Church, the verb, has worked.  Through the centuries, souls have been saved even though other souls have been turned off.  Although whole neighborhoods have been overlooked, others have been transformed.  The testimonies of changed lives from that building, the Brooklyn Tabernacle in a lousy, drug and crime infested New York City neighborhood, home of the choir by the same name, light up the sky.  Other buildings’ congregations in prosperous neighborhoods where it should be easy to be a Christian, report of no such miracles, only increased or decreased membership, long drawn out building fund drives, and a dwindling of volunteers.

There are various sizes and types of church members and non-members that compose one Church Body, with varied depths of dedication, multiple levels of outreach.  Church, the verb, is about to change. the pulpit and chairs system is about to change.  The church age as spoken by the prophets is winding down.  The lines will soon be drawn.  The state that permits her freedoms and grants tax exemption will turn on her.  The core of the gospel is about to be tested to the wire.  Do we preach truth of sin and salvation through the blood of Christ in the face of lies and deceit until it’s uncomfortable, then cave to pressure just to preserve the church as it is or do we stand firm in faith to Jesus no matter what, demonstrating to our children what faith really is?  It could mean the scattering of the congregation into only small groups, the end of the organization as we know it.

I must add this — the transition from freedom to limited freedom to suppression to persecution will polish, strengthen and cleanse the bride of Christ beyond anything all our new and old traditions could have done for us.  In the effort to silence Yeshua’s bride, she will instead be set free, so don’t shrink away with fear when I continue to point out that …

Hate speech laws are coming to America.

One of the first steps to Hitler’s plan to rid the world of Jews was to define who is and is not a Jew.  Once they are identified, the general public is bombarded with negative propaganda producing doubt, distrust, and ultimately hatred toward the Jews.  Teach the children.  Small groups of emboldened youth begin taunting, demonstrating, move into vandalism of property, then physical attacks and general persecution on individuals and small groups.  Jews are boycotted, laws of prohibition are passed, destroying commerce and income.  Land and property is confiscated.  Where do they go?

Ghettos are created.  When that doesn’t work, they’re sent to internment camps.  The camps become overcrowded and they’re sent to other camps to the Final Solution, systematic extermination.  No more secrets and smoke screens.  They know exactly what’s at the end of the train ride.

This happened but it can’t happen this exact way again and still work. Here in the land of the free and the brave, groups as large as conservatives and specifically fundamental Christians still remember, still know what happened to the Jews.  These procedures have to be masked and remade.  The slope has to be disguised, the lies leading to destruction made more subtle.  The intended victims of extermination have to buy into it up front, be convinced of the new logic until the laws are passed, until the laws work in unexpected ways.

People shouldn’t be mean to other people.  That’s Biblical.  We should show love and compassion.  That’s Christian teaching and if you’re not a professed Christian, it’s simple human decency.  Don’t offend people.  That’s not nice.  Get along.  Don’t pick a fight.  Can’t we all just get along?

Political Correctness has been birthed.  Don’t say short, say vertically challenged.  Don’t call her a housewife, she’s a domestic engineer.  How dare you deride people for what they are?  Homosexuals are no longer fairies — that’s negative and derisive.  They’re gay as in happy!  They’re individually expressive and have special rights.  To me,  it’s all in how you say it.  If you sneer the words domestic engineer, you still have an attitude and it’s still derision.  So what do we do to stop this incessant meanness?

We identify the insensitive speech as hate and we pass a law.  Hatred used to be a negative emotion, something protected by free speech, still negative and potentially hurtful, but still a fact of the human psyche, and protected because, really, how do you mandate thought and feelings? The way to stop hatred is to love.  Tell that to someone holding a gun on you or threatening to cut off your head with a dull blade.

Pass a law.  Or two.  Raise consciousness.  Teach the children.  Encourage the youth to live and let live in all circumstances.  Don’t shove your belief system down others’ throats, even when you believe your particular belief system has the solution for hatred.  It’s none of your business but somehow it’s become the business of government.

The government’s security force, still briefly known as Homeland Security has identified the most potentially dangerous group to be the pro-life right wing, conservative, religious fundamentals who just won’t allow other people’s feelings to be what they are, just won’t let go of the notion that life is valuable and begins at birth.  They annoy the snot out of women who just want to rid themselves of unwanted tissue by carrying signs saying awful things like “please don’t kill your baby” and “let me love you out of this.”  Horrible.  Pro-lifers are now called extremists and potential terrorists on the order of Timothy McVeigh.

The Christian who believes babies are people at conception are now identified as enemies of the state.  Extensive publicity is next, propagandizing their destructiveness.  Organizations are formed, whole groups will have the support of the government agency, Homeland Security, open now to adopt the same functions as Hitler’s Youth and the SS.

Make a law.

The _________ Laws, as they became known, did not define a _______ as someone with particular religious beliefs. Instead, anyone who had three or four ________ grandparents was defined as a _________, regardless of whether that individual identified himself or herself as a _________________or belonged to the __________ religious community. Many _________ who had not practiced _________ for years found themselves caught in the grip of _________. Even people with ________ grandparents who had converted to ___________ were defined as ________.

Currently the homosexual community, with a specific agenda, are fighting state by state to legalize same sex marriage.  That in and of itself will not change feelings for or against them and they know that.  What they want is not just acceptance which would imply assimilation.  They want approval.  They want sanctions and sanctification from all the hateful Christians who say they’re living in sin as practicing homosexuals.  One way to achieve their goals is to shut up Christians.  One way to shut up Christians is to exterminate them, but wait!  That’s too radical too soon.  First Christians have to be isolated and universally hated by more than just the gays.

Pass a hate law that prohibits any minister from any church from refusing to perform any requested church sanctioned marriage ceremony, that they must endorse the ceremony the same way all other marriages with “in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”.  If they don’t, they’re in violation of the law and subject to the consequences thereof.  That should take care of the fundamentalists of the faith.

Iowa has endorsed same sex marriage.  Iowa has mandated that the language of “bride” and “groom” be removed from marriage certificates and licenses.  The new verbage is “Party A” and Party B”.   So much for assimilation.  Let’s go for one small elimination step.  So much for understanding the rights of the individual minister to refuse to marry AA and BB and AB and BA (are threesomes next?) on the grounds that it’s a violation of his faith.

The slippery slope is logical, managable, generous to all participants, a great equalizer, even fun, until you hit bottom or the bottom hits you.

Me thinks he protests too much.  Or is he waiting for his father’s mother to die mysteriously and hopefully really soon?  She says she witnessed his birth IN KENYA.

At the time OB’s birth record was submitted in Hawaii, it was common to register an international birth, I believe within a limited time frame,  in Hawaii for the purpose of establishing citizenship.  It’s this registration he’s submitted for the public, not a certificate of his actual birth.

Why not?  Is Grandma telling the truth?

Still with me?  Are you angry that such a landmark event is being challenged? That the harbinger of hope and change (hope for what and what is being changed?) is held in doubt?  Accused of a coverup?

Or is this the first you’ve heard of this?  I suppose that if you still are astronomically stooopudd enough to trust CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, and the NY Times, you really haven’t heard this before.

Welcome to the new USSA.  In our yes-we-can-can schools, the past is adjusted to conform more smoothly to the politically correct mold.  Hmmm.  Mold.  It fits what’s happening to our nation, has happened to our nation.

If this Kenyan born, Marxist, muslim liar remains in office for a full term, we can’t come back.  If his position is nullified in time,  we may be able to pick up some pieces if the right people are put in place.

Pollyanna is a fictional character, but if she were real, she’d be blogging.

The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day…

“We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.”

ARTICLE You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone — not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes ..

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we’re just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don’t be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don’t be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won’t have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE This is an English speaking country. We don’t care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (Lastly….)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country’s history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

Obama’s  Victory–A British view

A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless  but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest  groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory  for the cult of the cult.  A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.

A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon. Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political fashion.

Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his  people have already stated that media has to be          controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that  statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that  just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.

A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers’ unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.

A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers’ unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.

A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that  social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

Congratulations America !  Your funeral will be sooner than you think!

“In a startling development, Obama’s Kenyan grandmother has reportedly alleged she witnessed Obama’s birth at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.”

and

“In Kenya, WND was told by government authorities that all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidential election on November 4.”

How and with how much DNC/George Soros money was Barack Hussein Obama, son of a muslim, raised by a muslim, employee of an organization accused of voter fraud, an organization to which his campaign donated over $800,000 …. able to deceive millions … and get by with it?

What else does he have to hide and why aren’t more people ticked off?

BUSH’S RESIGNATION SPEECH

The following ‘speech’ was written recently by an ordinary Maine-iac [a resident of the People's Republic of Maine ]. While satirical in nature, all satire must have a basis in fact to be effective.
This is an excellent piece by a person who does not write for a living. It is well worth reading ….. a lot of truth in these words ….trust me ….read it with tongue in cheek.

Normally, I start these things out by saying ‘My Fellow Americans.’ Not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don’t know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you’re really not fellow Americans any longer.
I’ll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: There’s been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.

The reason I’m quitting is simple. I’m fed up with you people. I’m fed up because you have no understanding of what’s really going on in the world. Or of what’s going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.
Let’s start local. You’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media.

Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there’s increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.

We face real threats in the world. Don’t give me this ‘blood for oil’ thing. If I were trading blood for oil I would’ve already seized Iraq ‘s oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don’t give me this ‘Bush Lied…People Died’ crap either. If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could’ve easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be ‘discovered.’ Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ‘ Clinton ‘ established that policy. Bet you didn’t know that, did you?
Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan , a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he’s going to destroy us. While he’s doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to t the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks it’s okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel . Did you sleep through high school?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them.

That’s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don’t care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That’d be fine, as long as they weren’t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you, and the bastards are all over the globe.

You should be grateful that they haven’t gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you’re not. That’s because you’ve got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I’m disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of ‘Survivor.’

Instead, you’ve grown impatient. You’re incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat’s political campaign, well, dang it, you might just as well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it’s easy enough to find the truth. It’s all over the Internet. It just isn’t on the pages of the New York Times, USA Today, or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you’d be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol or Dancing with Stars.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always be there to bail you out, even if you’re too stupid to leave a city that’s below sea level and has a hurricane approaching.

I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I’ve come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So I quit. I’m going back to Crawford. I’ve got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient for years. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I’m done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney’s quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that’s it. God bless what’s left of America .

Some of you know what I mean. The rest of you, kiss off.

PS – You might want to start learning Farsi, and buy a Koran.

The foxes were let into the hen house and now they’re in charge of the eggs.

Please use your head and don’t let this election be a spinoff of American Idol.  If you watch to the end you will understand how it can and if Obama is elected, will happen over and over and over until the perpetrators are thrown out.

Think!

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.
