The Washington Post has the right idea.

They will put all the candidates for 2008 Presidential Election through their "Fact-Checker" system, Republican and Democrat alike.

It's something we might think of doing in Eden Prairie for the 2008 election.

They Washington Post created "The Fact-Checker" at

The current candidate under scrutiny for legit/non-legit?? tax-cuts is the GOP Presidential contender Mike Huckabee.

Evidently out of 91 cuts from 1995 to 2005, there were 21 tax increases which off-set those cuts.

The Washington Post gave Huckabee what they term "The Pinocchio Test"

"Huckabee often talks about the "nearly 100 tax cuts" that he helped to implement in Arkansas, however trivial. He conveniently forgets about the tax hikes, or uses euphemisms to disguise them. Asked about a tax on nursing home beds by Chris Wallace of Fox News, he said it was not a tax. It was a "quality assurance fee."

Huckabee got two Pinocchios for exaggeration. (pretty lenient.)
