Anyone honest enough to run a fact check thread here?

I think i could do it, but i'm not positive because i lean heavily towards Romney at this point.
 
There are already websites devoted to that, and while it may seem a good idea to do it here I couldn't think of a single person who has the time, resources, or knowledge to run that kind of operation. That's why sites like politifact have full staffs, with experts in different areas, because the issues are so complex and the bull**** from both sides so thick one man couldn't do it alone.

What needs to happen instead is for people to accept the truthfulness of such sites like political, especially when they want to post something from world net daily or similar websites. Of course most people don't care for the facts or believe anything that doesn't agree with their opinion must be false so even though the truth is out there no one wants to look at it, especially when it comes to looking in a mirror.
 
politifact is NOT reliable or honest. for instance, they currently "fact check" 13 Republican claims, and only 6 democrat claims, on the "latest from politifact" page. It's pretty much like that every time I go to that site.
