Truth Or Lies: Getting The Facts

It's hard not to get cynical these days. Sometimes it feels like politicians spin everything just to sound good. Can you trust anybody to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (besides my Dad, of course)? Well, now we can at least know if and when a candidate's been lying.

The factoid nerds at Fact Check aren't for any party or candidate. They go after Democrats like Mrs. Clinton, who said that all the Republican candidates support the war and the president. (She must have forgotten about Ron Paul, who thinks the war is bad news.) They also pick on Republicans, like Mr. Giuliani, who claimed that adoptions in New York increased a ton while he was mayor when the numbers actually started dropping. Not to accuse these presidential wannabes of being liars or anything -- it's just good to know when they're wrong about the facts.
