Medicare Scare

Obama campaign ads are claiming that McCain is advocating major cuts in Medicare benefits to pay for his health care plans. These claims are simply not true. McCain claims that he would find savings in Medicare totaling $880,000,000 without cutting benefits. While one could argue that such savings are unlikely to be possible, it is not true that he is advocating cuts in benefits.

It is important that we fact check everything we hear for the next two weeks of the presidential campaign. Here is the FactCheck.org article. CLICK HERE

    This morning's paper came out with the news that the Christian Right are mailing a garbage piece about Obama. He will destroy this country, according to them. The whole piece is a pack of lies and I wish Obama could sue for defamation of character. Since that isn't possible I hope everyone uses Fact Check on this trash and then trash it.

    The beauty of the internet is that the true facts are out there, but we must be willing to do the searching to bring them to light. Acceptance of the stuff that comes flowing in on all sides is dangerous to the future of this democracy and, once lost, it will be a long and painful battle to regain.

    Thanks, Darlene, for all you do.
