Kendall, No 3. says His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban. This apparently refers to the Intelligence Authorization Bill, which wasn't solely a bill to ban waterboarding. No. 6 is He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations. "He and is wife" is the accurate part - apparently, most of the money is hers.

MoveOn, and personally I agree with their positions (if not their verbiage) much of the time, is about as good at restating of factual information as anyone else out there.
