Mike - You might very well be right.

BUT ........ (and I'd bet you saw that coming) you seem to be presenting "FactCheck.com" as a reliable and truthful source of information. Frankly, I believe that's not the case.

Their website is described as as “a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center” at the University of Pennsylvania. Click on the “About Us” button you quickly find the following statement: “We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit ‘consumer advocate’ for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.”

To quote Colonel Potter on the old "M*A*S*H*" show, HORSE HOCKEY!

This "nonpartisan" project is funded by the Annenberg Foundation. This foundation awarded nearly $50 Million to a reform project for Chicago public schools that operated from 1995 to 2001. A founding member of the organization was Bill Ayers. On the board of directors was none other than ..... BARAK OBAMA!

I'll be darned! I didn't realize that he was nonpartisan.

I have mentioned before that I am an insomniac, and that can be a real "bummer" but it gives me time in the wee hours of the morning to ponder life's great mysteries and do some deep thinking.

(Is anybody still reading this crap?)

Anyway, last night I got up and started doing some googling. I find that a great many "truth-and-nothing-but-the-truth" websites like FactCheck have popped up in recent months. All non partisan, of course.
