Wooley Mammouth Lies

Who is he kissing? Republican Presidential contender Rudy Giuliani shown at a recent speech where he probably "miscalculated" a statistic. Recently, through the help of a website called http://factcheck.org/ the New York Times have exposes some candidate blunders to inform the public. It's not only a Republican thing! Both Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama have been caught what I like to describe a public unawareness deception, commonly known as lying when you do no think you'll be caught. Both Democrats have blamed the current Bush Administration for certain issues yet have blown each out of proportion. The former first lady claimed that the National Institute of Health has decreased spending while in fact it has actually increased. Senator Obama claimed the National Debt has doubled yet in fact that is not the case. But let's not forget my pal Rudy. He boasts that under him New York City spending went down seven percent. According to one of his own memoirs, spending for the Big Apple grew an average of 3.7 percent each year. An aide quickly pointed out after that he meant to say it was proposed by him for a seven percent reduction.

Far cry from the truth. I have a funny feeling in my stomach that it was not his intention to tell the truth. Thankfully, there is a group that checks the statements made by politicians to inform the public or those who want to know the validity of their statements. Mayor Rudy also claims that he increased the police force from 28,000 to 40,000. That is very impressive.....except for the fact that he merged the Port Authority and that accounted for 7,000 officer increase. I guess that's a good job of a politician to not make distinctions like that. The problem is America really doesn't want to know. Only a certain few are concerned and when the others find out the lies some politicians told adversely affected their lives they often become angry but rarely does it provide a change. There is a great sheep's wool pulled over America's eyes and ears.
