McCain misstatements from the last debate:

• Governor Palin a Bresh of freth air.

• Calling Obama ‘Senator Government’.

• Saying Obama voted for Supreme Court Justice Bryer even though he was confirmed 10 years ago, before Obama was in the Senate.

• Promise he would fight for a line-item veto, which was ruled unconstitutional in 1998.

• Hitching onto nuclear subs to show how safe nuclear power is despite this year’s nuclear leak aboard the USS Houston.

• Accusing Obama of breaking the pledge to participate in public campaign financing, knowing that the pledge was always conditional on working out an agreement for same with the Republican nominee.

• Putting the launch of Obama’s political career in Bill Ayers’ living room instead of where it was really launched, a Ramada Inn.

• Claiming Obama earmarked $3 million dollars for an overhead projector rather than a Planetarium projector, for projecting overhead in a planetarium.

• Colombia is not, as claimed by McCain, the number one importer of US agriculture – Canada is.

• In comparing his own mortgage plan, no, it is not the same as Hillary Clinton’s as he proclaimed.

• Botching the central element of Joe Biden’s Iraq plan, not three countries but three divisions of one country.

• On taxes – he said US small businesses pay half of all taxes and US companies pay some of the highest taxes in the world, ”both statements are wrong (from the Washington Post) – more than half of US Corporations paid zero taxes ’96-’00 and most taxes are paid by ordinary citizens.

• McCain claimed Obama, not he, would raise taxes, refuted HIMSELF 25 minutes later by McCain admitting his healthcare plan will tax benefits.

• On abortion – he said he would never impose a litmus test on any nominee to the Supreme Court. Just 2 minutes later – “I would consider anyone in their qualifications, I do not consider someone who has considered Roe v. Wade to be part of those qualifications.” (That sure seems like a litmus test).
