Third 2008 Presidential Debate (Full Video) Obama has been deceiving the American people throughout this election, so it's not suprising that he continued to lie at the third and final debate. If he were truthful with the American people about his actions and beliefs, he knows he would lose this election, so he continues the deception in an attempt to win, just as his ACORN supporters continue to cheat for Obama in order to win him this election. Obama tells several lies in this debate. The ones I want to focus on in this post include abortion and his ties with ACORN. On the BAIPA, John McCain provided this opening: Sen. Obama, as a member of the IL State Senate, voted in the Judiciary Committee against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion. He voted against that.

For the first time in recent memory, leaders of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops have invited the two presidential candidates to meet with them before the election. Neither Republican John McCain nor Democrat Barack Obama have replied to the invitations offered last month, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the conference. A spokeswoman for the McCain campaign said the senator wants to accept, but does not yet know if such a meeting will fit into his schedule.
