Biden Hits out at Palin's "Pro-America" Comment

I read on CNN that Democrat VP candidate Joe Biden is now hitting out at Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin for the following comment:

"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation,"

The Democrats apparently believe that what she was saying is that the small town (and generally Republican) areas are more patriotic and more "Pro-America" than the larger urban areas. Oh, Please. Her statement was typical political rhetoric; she was simply playing to the audience by complimenting them. This time the Democrats are really over-blowing her statement.

I haven't been a fan of Sarah Palin and I do believe that McCain could have found a more qualified VP candidate, but this time I have to defend her.

FactCheck.org

I have found a good website for filtering the political ads from and the speeches of the Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin campaigns:


I have started checking FactCheck.org daily to see what they have to say about the claims from each campaign. Invariably they show that the Obama and the McCain campaigns have twisted and stretched facts to suit their purposes.


Unfortunately, what I read is making it harder for me to select a candidate to vote for.
