Factcheck
The Vice President boldly used the name of Factcheck.com (although it is .org) to rebut what he claimed were lies that Senator Edwards was leveling against him and his time as head of Haliburton. But does the Vice President really want voters rushing to the website (perhaps that is why he obscured it)? If voters head to the site, they will find the distortions by the Bush-Cheney team run ahead of those from Kerry-Edwards.
Even today, Factcheck released a report on how Bush-Cheney have distorted Senator Kerry's health plan, not to mention the 87 billion dollar vote, not to mention the way in which they have twisted Kerry's statement about a "global test." Just for the record, here is Kerry's statement on the "global test":
"No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. But if and when you do it . . . you've got to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test, where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons."
If Factcheck is hard to access, try Spinsanity. You will still find the same results.
