I love this: PolitiFact's TRUTHOMETER....

[wgadget]

It cannot tell a lie.

Yes it can.

Is Ron Paul supposed to be on there somewhere? He wasn't on the first page.

A lot of it seems to be just opinions:

For instance they quoted Mitt Romney as saying "We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy" and their verdict was "pants on fire liar".

Pahleaze.. We've long since ceased being a free market economy, but politico meant that we are.

Some of my favorites:
http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2010/sep/11/ron-paul/rep-ron-paul-says-4400-americans-were-killed-iraq-/
We rate his statement as Half True.
Because they can't get a completely 100% tally on the number of troops suffering from PTSD. LOL. Yeah that means only half true.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/nov/11/rand-paul/rand-paul-says-federal-workers-paid-120000-private/
So we rate his statement False.
Because we refuse to consider "total compensation" as what the average federal employee "makes" .

[Andrew-Austin]

One of the two Rand Paul quotes they said was false:

"The average federal employee makes $120,000 a year. The average private employee makes $60,000 a year."

And to that they only said: "For starters, that includes salary plus benefits"

Umm, same thing pretty much? At worst its only "mostly true".

[Esoteric]

His other stat was off by just 16%, and they gave him a FALSE. He said the average teacher's salary in WI is 89,000, and it's really 75,000. I'd say that's within margin of error.
