Fact Check

(1/1)

thepatriot:
A Kerry ad implies Cheney has a financial interest in Halliburton and is profiting from the company's contracts in Iraq.  The fact is, Cheney doesn't gain a penny from Halliburton's contracts, and almost certainly won't lose even if Halliburton goes bankrupt.

The ad claims Cheney got $2 million from Halliburton "as vice president," which is false. Actually, nearly $1.6 million of that was paid before Cheney took office. More importantly, all of it was earned before he was a candidate, when he was the company's chief executive.

nice try with the spin, do you really think troops would support an administration devised completly of draft dodgers??? Draft dodgers leading men into battle. forcing them to stay past their service time and not letting them come home, by sending them back into the fire?  I think not.  
Spin Spin Spin all you want.
