http://www.politifact.com/ . Looking around their site, seems to have some interesting stuff. Any others? Always good to have a few sources around that are non-partisian and supply sources so you can check them out too.

Checking Political stuff is hard. REALLY HARD.

After I posted about the military cuts, some people here used some statistics to "skew" what I was saying.

WELL...here is yet another post stating the same thing.

Yea, some cuts were made by bush........these cuts were made because the COLD war was over...but those cuts were target and gradual.

Clinton went NUTS.........and CUT to the BONE.

The numbers and stats I posted were EXACT. FACTS are facts, but libs refuse to see it, and try to figure a way to wiggle out of them.

FACT IS........if Clinton would have went after Bin Ladin in Afghanistan, we'd NOT be fighting there ow.

FACT IS..........if Clinton would not have made the military cuts he did, we'd NOT be FIGHTING two fronts.

FACT IS..........if Clinton would not have dismantled our military intelligenence apparatus, we'd NOT be in the mess we're in now.

Andrew........like ALL LIBS, you love to try to change history.

I'm sorry.......FACTS are FACTS.

I read a ton of stuff.....I MEAN A TON.........both sides..........huffington post, NBR, Reuters, Fox, MSNBC, The Onion . LOTS......

I try to pick what I BELIEVE.......glad we can still have opinions in this country.

I should also say.....I used to LOVE Factcheck.org, but unfortunately, they are beginning to lean left....which is EXPECTED....the funding for factcheck.org comes from the annenberg foundation, which is in Obama's pocket........Hardly fair or balanced in their analysis. I still use them a little, but when you have to fact check your fact check site.........well.......

Later,
