New And Recycled Distortions At Final Presidential Debate
Let's break it down into easily digestable bits.
Kerry was wrong when he said Bush cut Pell Grants. That's not good that he got his facts wrong.
Bush lied when he said his tax cuts went to mostly low and middle income persons. Fifty three percent of Bush's tax cuts went to the highest-earning 10% of the nation. The one's Bush claimed got the tax cuts, got only 13.7% of the tax cuts, which Bush either doesn't understand math very well or he was lying. I'll go with the latter but the former is mighty tempting.
There's more from both sides but I ask you to take a look at what each candidate distorted, which items are more important, which facts would be more damning? It seems to me that Bush fudged alot more on the bigger stuff where Kerry just got some numbers wrong.
I am sick of this election though and the only thing I'm looking forward to is Bush's concession speech.
