Time to throw in with McCain for 2008

Lots of garbage is being said about McCain. Must start pro-McCain blog!

Lets start by linking to the impartial, non-partison factcheck.com for the first three GOP debates:

Debate 1

Romney’s praise, [on Massachusetts healthcare] however, is a bit premature
— and while the plan is not government-administered health insurance, it
includes mandates for individuals and employers, minimum coverage requirements, subsidized insurance and government-enforced fines for noncompliance.... [b]ut the total estimate of uninsured Massachusetts residents is 372,000. The state has a long way to go.

If only someone asked Romney why the Big Dig wasn't on his website.

Debate 2

Romney: I want to make it very clear that I'm not going to raise taxes. As
governor of Massachusetts, I made it very clear there, and I did not raise
taxes.

Technically, this is true, but it's also misleading. Romney did not
raise anything called a tax during his tenure as governor, but he did increase
state revenues by raising various types of fees. In 2003, Romney doubled fees for court filings (which include marriage licensing fees), professional registrations and firearm licenses. Romney also quintupled the per gallon delivery fee for gasoline (money that is supposed to be for cleaning up any leaks from underground fuel tanks). All told, the fees raised more than $400 million in their first year.

Debate 3

"..Mitt Romney committed the biggest factual fouls... Romney Rewrites
History..."

"The Massachusetts plan is clearly not a complete government
takeover; it builds on the private insurance industry – as do
the proposals of Sen. Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards, and the health
care initiative spearheaded by Hillary Clinton in the early
’90s."

Did that get much press? Hardly. Of the top 3 candidates (McCain, Romney, and Giuliani), by far the most truthful content of the 3 debates came from McCain.
