McCain-Palin caught lying about clean coal

FactCheck.org caught McCain-Palin’s lie regarding Barack Obama’s support for clean coal, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting out their robocalls in coal states on the eve of the 2008 election.

 

See the September 30, 2008, Annondale Political Fact Check,  Not Coming Clean on Coal.
A  McCain-Palin ad claims the Obama-Biden ticket opposes clean coal. Not true.
The McCain-Palin campaign is airing radio ads in four states claiming that the Obama-Biden ticket “oppose[s] clean coal.” That’s false:
  • Obama’s energy plan, which he began promoting well over a year ago, calls for investing in “low emissions coal plants” and creating 5 “first-of-a-kind” commercial scale coal-fired plants with carbon capture and sequestration.” His position in support of clean coal has been clear.

 

Ask yourselves why candidates need to lie on the eve of the election and if they are what we need in the Whitehouse.

  1. Lets see if you can count his mother and father were not American Citizens. The state became a state in 1959 he was born in 1961 it take 7 years to become a citizen. Only born citizens can hold that office. But I am going to guess that you ether want to pay 50% of your hard earned money to a program taken fro ether FDR that failed of Carter that also failed . Or you are one of the ones who will receive the funds. Ether way it is of no consequences’. Homeland security is going to get the LA tape and that will bar him no mater what lies he uses to get in. We will not have a President that has ties to domestic and foreign terrorists . I also know you do NOT raise taxes and spend more when the dollar is down. You cut both to increase economy that creates job that creates revenue that gains the stock market. that is how it is done. You also don’t go after a a union base industry. The Coal miners don’t like it when you say you are going to bankrupt them and the towns they live and raise their families’.

  2. I hope you are happy in your cocoon of stupidity.

    His mother a U.S. citizen and that makes Obama a natrual born citizen.

    As for the rest of your comment, it isn’t worth the time to discuss.

  3. did the knuckledragger ever figure out that any person born on U.S. soil is natural born citizen and the waiting period for naturalization does not apply to natural borns?
