Four Biggies Out of Tampa

FactCheck.org has a new page up with four very blatant lies that have come out of Tampa so far this week. They are:

  • A misleading statistic about women’s job losses that has grown so stale it is now wholly false. 
  • More bogus claims about “raiding” Medicare and the doctor-patient relationship under Obama’s Affordable Care Act. 
  • A completely false claim that more than half of the younger generation is unemployed. (Actually, 86 percent who want work have it.) 
  • More false claims that Obama blocked the Keystone XL Pipeline. Construction has already begun on the southern leg of the project, and the company says it expects approval for the Canada-to-U.S. leg early next year.

It's pretty sad that they have to lie to such a great degree like this. Why don't they talk about their accomplishments?
