Back it up with facts

I’m sure Mr. Meinert believes what he wrote about Senator Joe Biden.

Senator Biden acknowledged he had used Neil Kinnock in his speeches. He didn’t one time, and it caused a problem.

He acknowledged he had done it, thinking that his acknowledgement from before would take care of his oversight.

Now Mr. Meinert says he also took them from Robert Kennedy. He further says he failed a law course because he plagiarized five pages. Where did he get his information?

Just because Mr. Meinert says it is true doesn’t make it true.

We have a good example of that by Gov. Sarah Palin. She keeps saying she stopped the “bridge to nowhere” in Alaska. This after it has been shown she supported “the bridge the nowhere” in a debate when she was running to be governor of Alaska.

Then after Congress cancelled the earmark, she accepted the money on behalf of the State of Alaska, and used it on other projects.

Just because something that isn’t true is said over and over does not make it true.

So, Mr. Meinert please tell the truth, and back it up with facts, not just what you have heard or read in some book not collaborated by fact.
