    I will have a agree with you about FactCheck.com - there have been numerous articles criticizing its bias and ownership.

    The general problem with all "Fact Check" political sites today are all of them are biased and not independent. The "checking" they provide are aligned with their political backers and not in any way honest.

    Who is fact checking the fact checkers?

    You could check. For example, "Trump again wrongly said that Mexico doesn't have a birthright citizenship policy like the United States. It does."

    John Kasich Tries To Reach Out To Latinos, Insults Them Instead


    [​IMG]

    Even when talking about the importance of Latino outreach, GOP presidential candidates seem to have a way of creating problems for themselves.

    Republican hopeful John Kasich said Thursday that Latinos are good people who should vote for the GOP -- but then, he seemed to draw on the stereotype that many of them are hotel maids.

    "I look at our friends in the Latino community as people that ought to be voting Republican," the Ohio governor said at a campaign event, according to The Columbus Dispatch. "I mean, they're very strong family. We could all learn a little from them about the importance of family, couldn't we? Because they are great, they are God-fearing, hard-working folks. And a lot of them do jobs that they're willing to do."

    "That's why, in a hotel, you leave a little tip, you know?"

    He went on to talk about a hotel maid he met on a trip to Los Angeles, who wrote him a note saying, "I really want you to know that I care about your stay," according to the Los Angeles Times.

    "Is that just the greatest thing?" he continued. "So, you know, we can learn a lot and she's Hispanic, 'cause I didn't know it at the time, but I met her in the hallway -- asked her if I could get a little more soap."

  8. Yeah, but during his vice presidency, he figured that actions spoke louder than words...

    I still have to respect a guy who said that to someone who was trying to act like a pal to his face after repeatedly badmouthing him...I believe it was Leahy. I don't actually recall what it was that was said by Leahy, though. Been awhile back.
