A great feature of PoliticFact.com is the Truth-O-Meter, in which reporters and journalists from the Tampa Bay Times, fact check statements, and then rate their accuracy on a scale of "pants-on-fire" (liar liar) to "true."

How truthful are politicians?
With the current GOP presidential nomination process in full-swing, it seems especially relevant to assess the accuracy of statements made by U.S. politicians and other political figures, such as lobbyists, interest groups and GOP presidential candidates. Websites like PolitiFact.com and FactCheck.org are great resources to use if you want an unbiased analysis of politicians' rhetoric. PolitiFact.com is run by the Tampa Bay Times, and FactCheck.org is sponsored by the Anenberg Public Policy Center. Both are commented to a non-partisan evaluation of the facts.
