[QUOTE=Megafan;38003710]So, 39 out of 59 total for Biden 'half true' or higher, or 66%.
For Ryan, it's 14 out of 25 total, or 56%.
So Ryan not only had a lower percentage of true statements, but less checkable statements overall.[/QUOTE]
WEll I have a story about this, when I was a boy, I ran along the streets, now because of what Obama is doing, in the future, my children will be unable to pilot UH1 hueys.
Im wondering if fox news would whine and moan at the moderator cutting off ryan and point at the amount of statements ryan made compared to biden.
You better get out your blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. Cause uncle Ryans gonna tell you about how Nixons grandchildren did something with Romney and ended up getting tuition money.
[QUOTE=Medevilae;38003730]Politifact will be working all night on this, and even then it won't mean anything[/QUOTE]
Well it should mean something to you if you're interested in the truth and accuracy.
did someone record this? I completely forgot, now I'm interested in watching this.

Biden will fucking kick your ass if you look at him wrong.
Biden laughing was the most hilarious thing ever. I can't not laugh when he laughs it's fucking contagious.

When a statement asserts multiple things, differing amounts of them can be true or false

It isn't quite so arbitrary, but if that's not the case, then what are you 'into'?
the economics professor at the end of the Al Jazeera stream was good at getting his message across
Austerity helps no one
Biden just thought Ryan was telling some funny stories is all
the best parts were when ryan tried to slip a one-liner and biden gave him a "the FUCK did you just say?" glance and punished him for it
Oh man. Watching MSNBC's afterthoughts. Matthews and all of them are fucking tearing Ryan a new asshole over the dodgynes and worthless statements and the lack of numbers and so on.

QUICK GUYS WE HAVE A DEFICIT AND IT'S CREEPING UP! WHAT DO WE DO?

[QUOTE=Medevilae;38003816]¿que? It is the case[/QUOTE]
Person A makes three statements about a single point:
Statement #1 is True (By which I mean, coincides with reality)
Statement #2 is False (By which I mean, does not coincide with reality)
Statement #3 is True
Conclusion: Point is in one way or another, made up of statements, 66% of which are true.
Give such degrees nice names and you have politifact basically.

"i dont care about the truthfulness of the canidates"
Why is everyone jumping on Ryan for telling stories? Obama did the same exact shit in his debate vs Romney.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;38003859]Why is everyone jumping on Ryan for telling stories? Obama did the same exact shit in his debate vs Romney.[/QUOTE]
Did Obama do it every five minutes and not answer a single question?
I watched this making audible noises when Biden would do something kick ass
Saturday Night Live will probably write a segment based around Biden's constant laughing.
They did it for Obama's awkwardness at his debate.
[QUOTE=Nikota;38003873]Did Obama do it every five minutes and not answer a single question?[/QUOTE]
He answered alot of his questions with stories and he danced around topics.
Ryan is definitely a way better speaker and more VP worthy than Palin was.
CBS snap poll: Biden won the debate, 50-31
Regardless of who was the victor, it is clear that Obama really needs to knock Romney dead during the next debate if he wants any chance of winning the election. Otherwise, it's very likely Romney's going to edge him out for the presidency.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;38003881]That isn't [URL="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/"]how Politifact works[/URL][/QUOTE]
Well right, I simplified it in a way that made it much more black and white and mathematical than such statements can be in real life, but my point is that it's not based on nothing.
