Joe Biden's statement that Sen. John McCain "voted against funding the troops" in a 2007 appropriations bill was wrong. In fact, while McCain did not vote on a later version of the appropriations bill, he voted against the measure on March 29, 2007, and said at the time that he was opposing it, in part, because it "would establish a timeline" for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810030010 Fri, 3 Oct 2008 12:01:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140013 In an "analysis" of Sen. Barack Obama's response to a question about being rated the "most liberal senator" of 2007 by <em>National Journal</em>, FactCheck.org deputy director Viveca Novak claimed that "[t]he nonpartisan public policy magazine's analysis of the votes and the designation of 'liberal' and 'conservative' positions was done according to a rather rigorous process the publication has been using since 1981." In fact, <em>National Journal</em> editor Charles Green has admitted that the publication changed the methodology it had used in its 2003 ratings after it determined that the methodology that resulted in a "most liberal" senator ranking for 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry had been flawed. http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140013 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:13:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200610300009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200610300009 Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:19:36 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200609220002 In defending Sen. George Allen against a new television advertisement criticizing his 2003 vote on a Democratic amendment that would have increased National Guard funding for body armor, <em>The Arizona Republic</em> falsely suggested -- and the website FactCheck.org falsely asserted -- that Allen and his Republican colleagues have never voted against supplemental funding for body armor. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609220002 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 20:26:33 EST
