As if all his inconsistencies weren’t enough, John Kerry just keeps on lying, saying anything he thinks will win him the general election next week. Keep checking back to this article as I will continue tracking down Kerry's distortions and adding them to the list below:

Kerry’s Lie #1:

The obligation of a Commander in Chief is to keep our country safe. In Iraq, George Bush has overextended our troops and now failed to secure 380 tons of deadly explosives. The kind used for attacks in Iraq, and for terrorist bombings. His Iraq misjudgments put our soldiers at risk, and make our country less secure. And all he offers is more of the same. As President, I'll bring a fresh start to protect our troops and our nation. I'm John Kerry and I approved this message.

The Facts #1:

[Spokeswoman Melissa] Fleming said the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency], which is based in Vienna, Austria, did not know whether some of the explosives may have been used in past attacks.

- CNN, October 25, 2004

…the fairly obvious fact that looters could not have stuffed 380 tons of explosives into shopping bags. To transport that much material would have required about 38 large trucks — 10 tons per truck. Before the U.S. invasion, such truck convoys moved about Iraq freely. Once the U.S. was in occupation, that kind of effort could hardly have gone unnoticed.

Kerry Contradicts Himself #1:

We are not suggesting that we know for certain that the material from that facility has been used. There is good evidence that some of that material could have been used, but we're not there, we're not on the ground, we can't establish that with certainty. And I think that's why you've heard Senator Kerry be very careful about that — it 'could be,' 'can be,' 'might be' because we just don't know on that.

Kerry’s Lie #2:

In Pueblo, Colorado, Kerry promised supporters he would fight international terrorists more effectively than the Bush administration, contending that the president "outsourced" the duty of capturing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to "Afghan warlords."

- CNN.com, October 24, 2004

The Facts #2:

Kerry was referring to the widely held belief among U.S. military and intelligence officials that bin Laden was in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan in December 2001, when U.S. and Afghan troops were assaulting the area. U.S. forces did largely rely on Afghan forces, but there is no definitive proof that the al Qaeda leader was really there.

- CNN.com, October 24, 2004

Kerry Contradicts Himself #2:

In December 2001, During Fighting At Tora Bora, Kerry Said: "I Think We Have Been Doing This Pretty Effectively And We Should Continue To Do It That Way."

- CNN's "Larry King Live," 12/14/01

Kerry’s Lie #3:

Claim: Kerry said Bush has never met with the Congressional Black Caucus.

- CNN.com, October 14, 2004

The Facts #3:

Bush met with the Congressional Black Caucus at the White House on two occasions. The first was on January 31, 2001, shortly after his inauguration. The second was on February 25, 2004, about unrest in Haiti.

- CNN.com, October 14, 2004

Note that Bush met with the Urban League on July 23, 2004. The president's administration is chock full of African-Americans. Is Kerry dismissing their service to America?

Kerry’s Lie #4:

He's [Bush] also the only president in 72 years to lose jobs -- 1.6 million jobs lost.

- Washington Post, October 13, 2004

The Facts #4:

Actually, President Bush could make an even bigger claim. According to the establishment (or payroll) survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2 million jobs have been created since the summer of 2003. The official statistics show that 1.8 million jobs (not 1.7 million) have been created, with the BLS announcing on October 8 that it expects to revise the jobs numbers upward by 236,000 at next February’s annual “rebenchmarking.” …

Indeed, payroll jobs are down 821,000 since Bush took office (or down 585,000 if you include the BLS’s expected upward revision). But overall jobs — including self-employment, employment by small companies, and partnerships without official payrolls — are up 1.6 million, according to the BLS’s household survey. Not bad for the first president since Herbert Hoover to take the reins just when an historic stock market bubble was about to burst. Not bad for the first president in history to have to deal with a large-scale terrorist attack on American soil.
