Lies and the liars who tell them. I thought it would be a good idea to look at some of the lies being perpetrated in the 2010 campaigns for office. After 2008, we know just how much false statements can impact an election. Looks like labor is working overtime to spread false statements about various candidates.
Outside Ads Mislead in California In the governor's race, Republican Whitman and Democrat Brown are attacked by union-funded and pro-business groups. August 20, 2010
Obama’s (Latest) Social Security Whopper The president claims Republican leaders are as eager to 'privatize' Social Security as they are to repeal his health care law. That's not true. August 16, 2010 AFSCME’s Misleading Tax Attack Union ad misrepresents a GOP House candidate's position on taxes. August 12, 2010 Corporate-Labor Smackdown in Minnesota Corporations back GOP candidate Emmer for governor, while a union-funded group attacks him with misleading ads. Democrat-on-Democrat TV Attacks in Florida Greene and Meek trade false barbs in an ethically challenged Senate primary field. August 3, 2010 Hayworth’s Misleading Attack on Immigration Hayworth falsely claims McCain's bill would have given Social Security and Medicare benefits to illegal immigrants. July 28, 2010
