The Biggest Liar

Sen. Testy, at the debate, and today in an ad and a speech continues to argue that Obama voted to raise taxes on people making $42,000 a year. The trust, is, as usual, something different. CNN REPORTS:

"In McCain's speech, the Republican presidential candidate was referring to votes on a resolution (Senate Concurrent Resolution 70) meant to outline the Senate's budget priorities through 2013, but the measure had no practical effect.

According to a CNN review of the resolution, it assumes that most of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts pushed by President Bush will expire in that time, which McCain says amounts to a tax increase. Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, voted "yes" on the resolution. McCain did not vote."

So, McCain thinks a budgetary vote with no practical effect amounts to tax increases, and, if so, McCain certainly didn't vote against the big bad "tax increase" because he didn't vote!!

Hmmm, also McCain's campaign just issued a press release claiming Democrats are at fault for the failure to pass today's bailout. Well, Senator, how about a lesson in simple math.

"The bill failed by a vote of 205 to 228, with 140 Democrats and 65 Republicans voting in favor and 95 Democrats joining 133 Republicans against."

Senator, you did a great job when you rushed back to Washington to "bring Republicans and Democrats" together on a bailout package.
