The article needs some fact checking. I don't think Bush claimed Kerry cut the intelligence budgets. I think he stated that Kerry proposed and voted for $7.5 billion in cuts. That claim is accurate. The cuts were never approved.

Kerry made a claim of some $100 million in unfunded mandates for St. Louis alone under No Child Left Behind. He first said $150 million, then corrected himself. I will wager he is off by at least one decimal point, perhaps two.

I think Bush said 75% of the known leaders have been brought to justice. That is how he has described it in the past consistently. We certainly haven't gotten 75% percent of the organization. That is impossible to measure.

Those job loss figures from the BLS are total bull. They miss millions of self employed like me and maybe you Tom. The ranks of the self employed have grown rapidly the last few years. The household surveys show large job gains. The unemployment rate is low. These stats don't add up.

Good article, but they left out the $84 Timber Company issue. :)

NEWS FLASH: POLITICIANS LIE.

Another good place to go is www.factcheck.org - it pulls both sides up on anything they say.

Well worth reading anytime a politican opens their mouths.
