Not currently up to speed on the presidential race.

This is for a current events speech that I'm doing.

So far I've got.... uhhhh....

Hillary saying she was under sniper fire when she actually was not.

Yeah. I need something for all the candidates.

Finding outright lies is hard.

What is easy is to find them flip-floping.

The half lies are very easy---watch the various candidates very very closely---use stop watch---as soon as you see their lips start to move, thats when the political spin starts. Keep watching, as soon as the lips stop moving, that is when it ends.

Then engage your own mind, ask your self, how is this person trying to manipulate me? Do you really think their policy has a chance of succeeding? Or is it likely to be something that flops flatter than a pancake because its not well thought out?

Then conclude they are all manipulating you and get depressed. And once in the proper state of mind, pick the least depressing candidate. AKA the lesser of many evils. Hey works for me, I'm depressed.

Or you could try the McCain, 100 years in Iraq will be a delight. Elect McCain and Iraq will turn into an instant Japan or Germany. How exactly that magical transformation will occur is best left to the imagination. Maybe McCain learned some secret oriental mental powers in that POW camp. And after all, according to Rush Limbaugh, McCain is liberal liberal liberal.

Hey Fuzzy, lots has been written about this. Don't be afraid to google.

Factcheck.org

Hillary lies about Chelsea being at World Trade Center on 911

Google Obama and his claim to have been a law professor (he did teach, but wasn't exactly a prof).

Look for Dick Morris articles. He hates Hillary and writes about her lies etc.

Obama & McCain? I can't recall either of them making many "mistakes" (lies)

The UoC considered him a professor:

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track.

Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.
