Combined, six other Republican presidential candidates listed donations from members of the military totaling about $9,000. Our most-to-least breakdown: Herbert Cain, $2,850; Mitt Romney, $2,750; Michele Bachmann, $2,250; Newt Gingrich, $500; and Tim Pawlenty and Rick Santorum, $250 each.


Uhm......accuracy of our own words not included.

They include this, though: http://static.politifact.com.s3.amazonaws.com/rulings%2Ftom-true.gif

and also Ron's interview on PBS, so I'm inclined to be pleased with this particular entry.

Yeah, I'm not complaining I am just mocking them. I would think that an outfit supposedly dedicated to the "truth" and accuracy of statement might want to be a bit more diligent with their reporting. :)

Nah - it's an arm of the St Pete Times. THey're quite eloquent, but liberal to the bone.

Great video interview on that website too. If you got to the PBS website that is the source of that vid, there or some great comments too.

yeah, it's a terrific interview, if people haven't seen it they should watch the whole thing -- the link to the whole thing is UNDER the video frame in the article.

Thats right bitches!




"A caveat: We did not achieve accounting-quality math in this look; there’s no quick way to do so. It’s also possible we missed a donation or two. Consider the numbers that follow in the ballpark." - Politifact

Only took me a few hours and some very tired eye balls.
