14 right off the bat, to be exact. From Team McCain:
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people’s health insurance coverage — they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska — she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it’s not a windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation — he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won’t pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

BIDEN CONFUSES ME. IN ONE BREATH WHEN CAMPAIGNING against Obama he made all the opposite clams against him that he now supposedly suppots. If having Obama as President by means of Dirty Politics, Dirt Money and defrauding the American People doesen’t bother anyone, well it sure bothers me. Acorn is a Big part of the fraud process.If Obama can not win the ticket by being honest without fake votes, dirty money, blood money Middle Eastern Money and now a Questionable Law Degree as he was not even honest on that, then he sets the forum for this Country to go down in flames. I do not understand how this Country cannot see through him. He throws his words around and promises rainbows and candy? IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN PEOPLE! READ THE TRUTH!!!!! HE CANNOT EVEN FIX ILLIOIS! HGHEST STATE TAX IN THE COUNTRY! CCAGO IS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT CITIES IN THE U.S.!! MURDER RATE IN JUST AUGUST OVER 289 more than IRAQ! HE HAS TAKEN MILLIONS OF PORK BARRELL FUNDING WASEFUL TAXPAYERS MONEY IN ILLINOIS>>>>>AND WE WANT TO ELECT THIS MAN FOR PRESIDENT? I THINK NOT! HE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR HIS PART IN ACORN AND ACCEPTING ILLEGAL FUNDING! HE NEEDS TO BE DISBARRED AND HELD ACCOUNTBLE FOR HIS PART IN AIDING CRIME IN CHICAGO ! HE ADDED ACORN TO THE BAIL OUT FOR FUNDIN SO THEY COUND GET MORE MONEY! WHAT DOES ACORN HAVE TO DO WITH THE MORGAGES AND STOCKS THAT ARE IN PERIL THAT ARE CRIPPILING OUR ECONOMY? YET OBAMA ADDED THEM TO SWEETEN THE DEAL FOR HIS OWN AGENDA!!!!AS DID MANY OTHER DEMOCRATS AND SOME REPUBLICANS AND THAT IS WHY IT WAS VOTED OUT THE FIRST TIME!
