In today’s Post:

Rep. Travis Childers, who represents a district in northern Mississippi where Obama won just 38 percent of the vote in 2008, takes a similar approach in his TV advertising — promoting the fact that he has “voted against every big budget” since winning a special election two years ago.

Here’s the ad, which contains, by my count, at least two glaring lies:

He accuses Republican rival Alan Nunnelee of breaking a 2010 pledge to not raise taxes by voting for tax increases in the state legislature — in 2009, 1997, and 1996. Apparently, under Childers’s interpretation, time travel was involved.

Then Childers boasts he “opposed big spending budgets and Wall Street bailouts.” Of course, Childers voted for the 2009 consolidated appropriations bill and the $787 billion stimulus bill, and while he did not vote for Obamacare, he opposes its repeal.
