The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
McCain Campaign Makes Ads Showcasing Discredited Lie From VP Debate
Excerpt MSNBC report "'NINETY-FOUR' HITS THE AIRWAVES ":
On the same day that debate truth squads are publishing fact checks re-debunking the McCain-Palin talking point that Barack Obama voted for tax hikes "94 times," the McCain campaign is going on the air with the same message.
...
Although Obama has made no secret of the fact that he plans to raise taxes on some high-income Americans, the 94 number often used by the McCain-Palin campaign is an exaggeration. Per Factcheck.org, "The majority of the 94 votes – 53 of them ... were on budget measures, not tax bills, and would not have resulted in any tax change. Four other votes were non-binding motions related to conference report negotiations." Additionally, some of the votes were on measures that would have cut taxes for many Americans while raising them only on companies and the wealthy.
Under the candidates' tax plans, both Obama and McCain would actually be "tax cutters" to Americans making under $250,000 per year. According to the Tax Policy Center, Obama's proposal allows for deeper cuts to low-income earners and tax hikes for those in the top income brackets; McCain would cut taxes for all income groups, with the largest decreases going to those who make over $500,000 annually.
The article also says an Obama spokesperson reminded them that McCains plans include taxing employer provided health insurance for the first time ever.
