Who Lied at the Debate?

For your consideration- from Cnn...
Earlier Monday, McCain told voters that Obama isn't being honest about his tax votes and said the Democrat is "always cheering for higher taxes."
In response, the Obama campaign called McCain's remarks "false attacks" and an "angry diatribe."
"Two times, on March 14, 2008, and June 4, 2008, in the Democratic budget resolution, he voted to raise taxes on people making just $42,000 per year. He even said at the time that this vote for higher taxes on the middle class was 'getting our nation's priorities back on track,' " McCain said at a rally in Columbus, Ohio.
"Then something amazing happened: On Friday night, he looked the American people in the eye and said it never happened. My friends, we need a president who will always tell the American people the truth," McCain said.
McCain said a vote for Obama would "guarantee higher taxes, fewer jobs and an even bigger federal government" and charged that "these policies will deepen our recession." ......word from the author of this blog....McCain made this charge during the Friday night debate, and no wonder people think that Obama won- He was telling Bald-faced lies, and its easy to win an argument if you don't have to rebut with factual information. Concurrent Senate bill 70, was authored to and proposed to raise taxes on people making $42000 per year. This bill was voted on TWICE, and BOTH times, Mr. Obama voted for the tax-hike on (the rich?) the middle-class Americans he claims to champion. As usual, I back-up my claims, something the other side never does...http://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_member.php?cs_id=17824..this budget will go into effect in 2009 if the president signs it, so far he is sticking to his guns on taxes...I can list each of Obama's lies during this debate individually if I must, but in the Democratic mind, The truth doesn't matter as long as at the end of the day, they all feel good...An old friend of mine asked me on this very blog, if we were "pre-programmed" to disagree with everything a liberal says. My answer would be no...we research things ourselves and come to our own conclusions, which usually ends up being "the liberal is lying yet again"...
