FactChecking McCain

Obama's plan for jobs on Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other coal producting states, and Obama's plan for dealing with the high cost of energy, including electricity generation.

An audiotape of an interview Barack Obama did in January 2008 with The San Francisco Chronicle has surfaced in the final days of the presidential campaign. On the tape Obama tells the interviewer how he will use environmenal laws to kill the Coal industry,

"so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can ... It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

Also says he's policy will cause price of electricity to skyrocket.

Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not Pennsylvania? We've seen him do that before, right? Something about guns and religion.

And why did Newsweek take their story on the Pennsylvania campaign down Sunday after this story broke?

I WONDER WHO HAS TOLD MORE LIES IN THIS CAMPAIGN: McCAIN OR PALIN? I COULD TELL WHEN THEY ARE LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH WHEN THEY MADE THEIR SPEECHES. NOT ONLY THEIR BODY LANGUAGE GIVES THEM AWAY, BUT ASLO THE LOGIC IN THE CONTENT OF THEIR
SPEECH. A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THEIR LIES: PALIN AND McCAIN CLAIMED THAT ALASKA PRODUCES 20% OF AMERICA'S ENERGY WHEN IT ONLY PRODUCES APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 4%. HE LIED TO THE REPUBLICAN CROWED BY STATING THAT HE WOULD FIRE THE S.E.C DIRECTOR IF HE WERE PRESIDENT WHEN IT IS NOT TRUE: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DOES NOT HAVE THAT POWER! DO WE NEED THESE TYPE OF PERSONS IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES? HELL NO! WAKE UP AMERICA AND SMELL THE LIPSTICK! THIS IS WHY I SAY TO THE McC-PALIN TICKET: THANKS BUT NO THANKS! HELL NO, McC-PALIN NO!

Pinocchio award goes to John McCain.

OBAMA DOES HAVE WAY MORE EXPERIENCE THAN PALIN, TOO BAD HE IS NOT RUNNING AGAINST HER, HE WOULD KICK HER BUT ON ELECTION DAY! BUT SHE IS RUNNING AGAINST JOE BIDEN, WHO IS HAS, TWENTY OR MORE, TIMES MORE EXPERIENCE WILL EVER HAVE! I BET YOU HE WILL KICK HER BUT IN ANY DEBATE! PALIN IS A FAKE. IN MY OPINION, HER POLICAL IMAGE HAS BEEN REALLY INFLATED BY THE PRO-REPUBLICAN MEDIA BY PEOPLE SUCH AS THE TWO CLOWNS, GLENN BECK AND BILL
O'REILLY. IN MY OPINION, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT "PALIN HAS LIED LIKE A FLY" A LOT OF TIMES.

I think everyone shoul really listen to what McCain is saying, if you listen closely you will hear George Bush and all of the failed policies we have had to deal with and will be dealing with for many,many years to come.
He does not really care what he says as long as he thinks it sounds good. As for Sarah Palin I don't think thiscountry needs a "gun toting soccer mom" with no experience in national relations or for that matter our national security. To me she is just scary I feel she wants take away women's right to choose, and for that matter some one who trys to ban books from the library because SHE dosen't like them will eventually try to take away other forms of our freedom of speech. I think everything would be personal to her, that kind of thinking is scary indeed

RE: PALIN's PAST: I read Anne Kilkenny's webpage. Its pretty fair - and scary. I have known girls like her while growing up - those that will step on anyone, backstab and kick you while you're down. Those that will say anything and lie to get what they want. I don't want anyone like that - immature and mean-spirited running this country.
Everyone must read this:

Republican receipt of last 8 years:
1 war in Iraq = 250 Billion (borrowed from China, with interest, needs to be paid back)
Economy = Republican ideas: working well are they?
Housing Crisis = Americans have been called "irresponsible" and "whiners"
Gas increase = $3.00 per gallon
Health Care (the cost of doing nothing) = people losing everything or denied health care, death
Environment & Global Warming (the cost of doing nothing) = worse weather, disasters, giving our kids a poor future

ABOUT SARAH PALIN:

If you really want to know Sarah Palin's history (in detail) this is a "must read". It was written by Anne Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla, Alaska.

Neither party has definitively defined the goals outlined at their respective conventions. Of the two, I give Obama an edge because McCain's acceptance speech was, with the exception of his time spent in Hanoi, very, very general.

Palin is just an attractive doberman pincher who main responsibility is to attack while hiding behind her gender. You have to admit that any one who tries to go toe to toe with her will be boiled in oil unless it is Hillary Clinton.

My wife and I watched both conventions and, at this point, will vote for Obama although that is subject to change. We do see McCain as just more of the Bush administration.

1) Obama's health care plan still lacks some definition. For example, what does he define as a small business? The way I see it, smaller small businesses would be essentially forced to close shop because the larger small businesses would attract more employees that would have worked for the smaller businesses who can't afford to offer health care to their employees. Even thought there is a tax credit offered to these small businesses, most smaller businesses wouldn't be able, still, to pony up the 50% that isn't covered by Obama's plan. Another question: how much is this alleged health insurance going to cost anyway?
2) What bills has Obama voted for taxing oil companies? What are the bill numbers?
3) Even though a third of our oil comes from our allies, still two-thirds are coming from Venezuela and OPEC; not exactly close friends.
4) Even though there are no new funds going to renewable energy resources, that doesn't exhaust the possibility that old funds can be re-appropriated to new programs. These could include shifting funds to provide stipends and subsidies to states that are already planning their own renewable energy policies.
5) Pinpointing which government programs to be rid of would alienate many voters. You have to give it to him, no matter who was in this position, they wouldn't flat-out tell the American people that they're about to be fired.
6) Obama says he wants NAFTA reform, but renegotiation of the environmental and labor provisions in the agreement are vague and unnecessary. NAFTA isn't exactly "free trade" as we would imagine it anyway.
