Watch the spot HERE.

Sloppy reporting, Jake. I can run off a list of the lies and "misspeaks" that can be attributed to John McCain.
But why cover the full story when you only want to fill 2:30?

Put ABC to run the country seem like they never distort the truth and as a media house has always been above board.

tony, the difference between Obama and Hillary is that Hillary is a Bosnian General who is specializing in snipers' brigade. Agreed with Dom that beyond McCain's flip flop from on tax cuts, torture, etc, this is the time to add him to the list and vet waht he is saying as WBush has done in 2000 when he was running against McCain in the republian primaries. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

It's not just that politicians bend the truth every now and then, these two candidates tell outright lies every day. And bold lies at that.
They really do believe their followers are too ignorant to understand what's being done to them. Hmmm -- maybe they are???

Since he wasn't included in this piece, should I guess that McCain hasn't lied recently. It's no wonder that McCain is doing so well in the polls.

Jake you have the temerity to run that story again even though factcheck has discredited Kennedy's attempt to downplay Clinton's contribution to the children's health plan? Of course she didn't "create" it -- that's just drama for the commercial. Kennedy didn't create it either -- federal money, presidential signature, state implementation, agency involvement "created" it.
Obama has other lies too - the Kennedy/Selma thing was a good one. But of course, in your greedy and angry zeal to stain Clinton, you focus primarily on her. YOU ARE ONE-SIDED
