    Actually, that site doesn't do a very good job of investigating.

    In regards to Auschwitz, they did appear to be unbiased in the reporting, however, they contacted Mark Kitchell about "his personal site" to see if Obama's uncle was actually in the Army.

    Mr. Kitchell has attacked people from other organizations trying to find out if he could help. Mr. Kitchell is VERY anti-Bush and pro-Obama and several sites have accused him of updating his site AFTER they contacted him; adding information that was not originally there.

    See source for Mr. Kitchell's responses to one organization as an example and also not that he provided no evidence outside of saying "you're the dumb one..." (or whatever he said) along with saying yes he was. Hardly credible.

    Edit: Looking closer at the site, they list a "Pants of Fire" category which targets Clinton. I searched for some of Obama's speech gaffes where he said things that were clearly incorrect such as linking his parents marriage to the Selma march even though they were together and he was already alive before it happened. That isn't even mentioned on that site. So I guess it's not as unbiased as you think -- or at least -- very, very incomplete.

    I don't like either of the three candidates you listed but honestly, I would have to say they all lie but Obama's are the worst purely because they go unreported or unmentioned (the site you linked proved it to me and put him over the top).

    I wouldn't trust any one or two sites to find out what's true or not. You'll need to do more hunting than that if you really want facts.

    Obama.

    He claims he couldn't abandon Rev. Wright anymore than he could abandon the black community. He abandoned Rev. Wright.

    He claimed to have voted against the war in Iraq before he could vote against the war in Iraq.

    He told union workers that he would renegotiate NAFTA and then said that was just political talk.

    Depending on his speech, he will or won't talk with to the enemy with conditions.

    Depending on his speech and where he is giving the speech, he will denounce his flag pin or wear it.

    He first said he would just help the poor children with healthcare. Hillary lists 47 million without healthcare and Obama now wants to help 45 million without healthcare. This includes around 10-12 million illegal aliens and 15 million making $50,000 or more. Only 8.3 million have been making under $50,000 a year and have been uninsured for 2 years or more.

    Obama has claimed (along with the other candidates although McCain was the last to get onboard and that was probably for political reasons) that the U.S. has been in a recession even though the economy grew in the last 5 months.

    He claimed to be for hope and change yet he rarely votes in Congress he votes over 97% for the Democratic party.

    I think were too hard on the candidates,

    and looking deep into their lives to find a flaw in highschool is ridiculous. We all make mistakes, obv. and highschool is def. the place we made a great fraction of them at.

    and also we all say stupid things we don't mean sometimes.

    Who knows who has the worst lies, none of us actually know them personally or what the truth really is.

    Hillary, and McCain are the biggest liar of them all!! They only say what they think the people want to hear. Obama tells you what you need to hear. Hillary is an habitual liar, McCain just doesn't know what to say or where he is half the time.

    I actually found Michelle Obama's thesis on-line when I first saw this email. I thought it was well written, and she seemed more like a white sympathizer. By the way, Obama's campaign released her thesis willingly, when the college tried to suppress it.

    To me, Hillary and McCain seem like the biggest liars, with tendencies toward half-truths and self-idiocy.

    May I re-phrase your question?

    How about, "Which candidate is most truthful?" I want to pick the BEST candidate, not the least of the bad. :-)
