Default Fact Checks on the GOP "debate"

Last night's "debate" was a snoozer and it provided some moments of lunacy that had not been heard before. All of the potential candidates had "points" they made that were fiction. I have copied the link that tells of their fictional statements. Read and heed - especially the lies told by Newt.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...QTxO_blog.html

Of course, I can already predict there will be some replies to this post that say the Fact Check is not accurate because it is by the Washington Post and the "lamestream media" (anything other than Fox Noise) is out to crucify Newt, Michelle, and the rest.

Where's your fact check on our current commander and thief? Oh, I forgot, he doesn't count.

Daryl,

I looked at the debate pretty close last night and unless it happened while I was getting a beer, I just did not see President Obama participating in the debate - which was the topic of the Fact Checker.

No doubt you could find plenty of things on both sides of the aisle all the way to the top rungs that need fact checked - but this was only about the Republican debate last night.

So what's your point? You'll vote Obama no matter who is running on the GOP side. We're going to have a new President next year and there's nothing you can do about it. All the links in the world won't change it.

Did you read the Fact Check and the quotes from the candidates and how the Fact Check debunked a lot of what they said? Just be reasonable and read the article completely before making a snap decision.

Buggyone: To be quite frank I'm campaigned out all we have here by both sides is a lot of cackling and I'm tired of it. Where the heck are America's finest? What I know for sure is that I am going to vote for the generic Republican because by any measure Obama has failed. worse yet he has already given you his best whatever that was. I can only imagine a further detoriation of our country with 4 more years of him.

Who will get my X for the Republican primary? Don't know but I will show up and vote. I I filled out the surveyand in the additional comments section suggested they past a rule that all congressmen/women must suspend all investment activity while serving in the senate/house. I put an X through the section that ask for a donation etc.

Succintly stated, "Im'm disgusted"

Rubicon,

I definitely agree with you on the Republican candidates. Where are the best and brightest that this country has to offer? These are not them!!!

If the Republicans could could up with some person that is vastly superior to what we have seen so far, they probably would get my vote.

However, if the current slate is all that is offered, President Obama has my vote again.

As you said, it is pretty disgusting that these are all the choices we have.

I basically stopped reading this slanted article after it's first "view" on Gingrich. It's a nonsensical view that the budget was balanced by Clinton and not by Gingrich's leadership of the Congress. Pretty silly.

Thanks BK for some sanity. This fringe group who now is constantly bringing this board to new low levels with the constant "flaming" being done is so annoying.

If you recall during the slugfest of debates between President Obama and Secy Clinton in 2008 brought cries of misinformation which was flung aside as "just the usual political exaggeration" but now it allows this group to call names as if they are superior beings of some sort.

Someday we will get our board back I hope and learn from each other...I dont want to learn names to call folks....left that behind when I left elementary school.

It is "flaming" to have a link to Fact Check - a service of one of the nation's leading newspapers? I think not. Obviously, if a poster is not of the conservative bent, they are a member of the "fringe group".

Someday you will get your board back? This forum belongs to conservatives? I think not. It is for the give and take of information from all who want to post on it.

Read the postings before making a snap decision. I wrote on an earlier posting on this thread: "No doubt you could find plenty of things on both sides of the aisle all the way to the top rungs that need fact checked - but this was only about the Republican debate last night."

I also stated that if there was a Republican candidate who was vastly superior to those currently in the running that I might very well vote for him over President Obama - but not with this bunch of contenders.

That is "flaming" or a "fringe group"? Personally, I think it shows a very open mind.
