Fact Checking Politicians


The caucuses are here, and the politicians are play fast and loose with the truth. However, there is an organization out there that is keeping busy, checking and rechecking what they say, so that we may be better informed.

With scam statistics, baseless criticisms, misquotes, and cockeyed memories, the truth gets a battering on the campaign trail in the hands of candidates for the White House.


But imprecision is a venerable US political tradition, according to FactCheck.org, an independent watchdog which aims to "hold politicians accountable" for what they say.

Have a Great Iowa Caucus Night, and we shall be anxious to see the results later this evening!!
