But the things Biden said that were incorrect weren't debatable, "You voted against the cut!" They were things like specific *bills* that he claimed McCain voted for or against, and they were times he said Obama voted on the opposite side of McCain when in reality they both voted for whatever bill it was.

I'll be anxious to hear that list again.
I'm the same way because i know that bills have fluff and may be voted down to get rid of that, not the major bill issue. That's why I like to listen to the people that know the facts and can point out the errors.
