Thanks for the info...

^^
I was really speaking of last night's convention speech in contrast to when Michelle or Bill or Hillary spoke.

But, I gather your overall point is both sides lie. I agree. Both sides are imperfect, though one is moreso.

But a lie is still a lie. I will continue to call/blame etc. on any side who chooses to attempt to mislead me in any way.

Btw I checked the factcheck links you posted and they are wanting. The Republican Convention link doesn't cite any of the three lies I named on the Republican side. And the Dem link you sent me was not from other Dem convention speakers but from the Obama speech itself. Also two of the supposed lies analyzing the Obama speech were not lies at all but were what the website itself characterized as "Obama twisted McCain's words" or "Obama knew McCain was joking when he said that." Which means in other words McCain said it...But I Digress...

Yeah, the site is by no means perfect; they also don't analyze the Democratic Convention at all, and I'm sure not every speak was perfect. It was more for the general point that both sides are playing the game, which you acknowledge.

I guess all's fair in love and politics, or something like that...
