There he goes again.....saying we are too stupid to figure out he is lying. Why does McCain keep lying about Palin when it has been noted by the media, his own party, and everyone who questions him, that these things are just downright lies!!
Once again, he thinks we are all so stupid that we will begin to believe him. He is the stupid one. What a sorry old man he is. Rove has McCain so disciplined that he keeps repeating what he is told to say even if he knows it isn't true. Again.....what a sorry old man he is.

he's lied himself and their campaign into a corner... at this point they are in toooo deep, they've been confronted with their lies and haven't backed down, reaffirming that the lie is what they're sticking with. At this point it's all they've got. The lies are going to come faster and bigger from now on....and they think it won't matter, because they've got Rove drawing up electoral vote maps for which ever station he's blathering on as a "political consultant", all the while their ground crews are gathering foreclosure lists - to challenge voters eligibility, sending out bogus absentee ballots, telling college students that they can't vote in their college towns or their parents won't be legally able to claim them as dependents and on and on and on.... and that doesn't take into account election day and the challenges, the disproportionate dispersal of the vote stealing machines, the challenges....
At this point I don't think they care what it looks like, they've still got the majority of the media covering for them.... they are counting on the media to keep covering for them up through election night and beyond....

Lying their way into office is familiary territory for Rethugs. Hopefully, the bulk of the MSM has learned its lesson from the Bush years...

OMG....talk about 4 more years of Bush:
So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, [Palin] appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Think it was Behar who said to McCain on The View that something he had said was a lie, he argued it was not a lie. Everyone knows it was a lie. Who in hell does he think he is fooling? Unbelievable!

Joy Behar said two commercials were lies, and did you see McCain's face? It looked like he dumped in his paints! He probably had to change his underwear. He seriously was not expecting for someone in the media to use the word LIE to describe his lies. Behar deserves a medal - G-d bless her.

Can a 527 out there please make an ad out of all these lies. Then as the narator speaks, we can which McIdiot's nose grow longer and longer. We can have a nice long nose on Palin too - maybe in the end we can have a birds next in their noses. Unbelievable.

All the lies will help make it a character issue about McCain. We have to take it away from it being about Obama and about McCain. If he can't tell the truth during an election, can we trust him to tell us the truth if he is elected??????????
OMG that's fantastic. I wish Obama would start using that long nose to make a point. Keep track of every lie and make an ad out of it. I love it. We should make pictures of McCain with that nose and give them out all over the place. That's something that even the most dumbed down concrete thinking people can understand. Believe me I know a whole bunch of them.

Internet joke too good to pass up, whoever thought it up kicks ass:
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”
The man smiled and responded, “You must be Palin.”
“I am,” replied the woman balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made promises that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problems. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”

Campaign flashback: Sarah Palin, in a January 2008 interview said that she’d bring “diversity” to a GOP presidential ticket, adding that “a couple of rich, old white men… [isn't] gonna cut it.”
Did you read the comments? The Republicans think it is just fine to iie. They cited a ton of excuses but refuse to admit a lie. Now there is where the problem begins. Dems feel guilty about lying while Repubs think it is okay if it means they can win,

Republicans think the American people can't handle the truth and rationalize lying. Its why they feel no guilt about lying us into war with Iraq. The ends justifies the means. The only time lying matters is if a Democrat does it, and then that person is Satan spawn and should go immediately to Leavenworth.

cowboyneck I read your stuff all the time and always am in agreement but this time I disagree. I don't think Repugnants lie because they think we can't handle the truth, I honestly think they don't give a shit what the American people think and lie to avoid the inconvenience of having to answer to people they have no respect for.

He is an opportunistic liar. Think about it, his entire life he has taken the path of least resistance riding on the coat tails of first his father, then his rich father in law, and now the Rove team, highly connected lobbyists and a christian nut job named Sarah Palin. The man is a pig.

Chuck Norris FACTS - REALLY GOOD ARTICLE about Norris LYING and his living in some strange "dream world" on Larry King live:
The Repugs have no honor what-so-ever. Obama said he would be a different kind of Candidate so he can't get in the mud. But he can find better ways to call them out on each and every lie in a clever way that people will remember. Whether it's a growing nose on McCain or Palin or something else that will stick in their heads. I don't know what they're waiting for. Calling any 527's out there. Help!
So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ok, on the second page:
Laura Chase, the campaign manager during Ms. Palin’s first run for mayor in 1996, recalled the night the two women chatted about her ambitions.
“I said, ‘You know, Sarah, within 10 years you could be governor,’ ” Ms. Chase recalled. “She replied, ‘I want to be president.’ ”
McCain had better watch his back.... and we HAVE to STOP THIS.
that's the second paragraph of a 5 page article... I'm on the first page and I've got to say, OMG what a stupid, self-serving, conniving bitch.

You are correct. Someone remarked on Olberman or somewhere that she doesn't properly pronounce the name of one of the aboriginal groups---that her pronunciation is insulting to those groups.

The lying from Team McCain is another misdirection by Rove. We are all consumed with what lie they told this week, today, this minute. In the meantime no one is pressing either of these ass blankets for their policies, for substance to their claim of change or even what they want to change. The girls on the view did a better job than all the news hounds. Rove has us chasing the lies instead of chasing these two incompetent trojan horses for what they really plan for America. I despise Rove but you have to admit if everyone is concentrating on the charades he constructs we never deal with the fact that neither of them are of any substance. John McCain is a nothing, a zero, nada, zilch, zip, a big and total lack of substance. Let.'s deal with the lies agressively but continue to press for McCain's real answers to the economy, the bankruptcy of major financial institutions, collapse of the middle class, the massive shift of jobs out of the country and how to get our men and women home. These are the things that need to be featured. Obama with a host of unemployed who talk about not being able to feed their families, Obama detailing the money handed to the richest, most incompetent company leaders who share no accountability for their incompetence, Obama with teachers who detail what a disaster the No Child Left Behind program has been. McCain is a liar, we know that. Palin is a liar we know that. Let's tie Bush to McCain with a welding torch so that no matter how much he dances and runs Bush and his 8 years of failure are forever stuck to McCain's ass.

This has to be a whole new Dem group talking point, getting it off Obama on onto McCain. McCain and Palin are liars. They lie now, they've lied before and they will lie to the American people if they ever get into office. They'll say anything to help themselves. We can't trust anything they say - anything. Then every surrogate has to start talking this up in a passionate angry way.

You make some very good points here. I know Obama wants to stay with the issues. But I would love to see some 527's on McCains character. I think you may be right about Rove. I think many of us are getting very anxious because Obama is slipping in the polls. But I would bet Obama will stick with the issues. I think that was his plan from listening to his campaign people.

I know most politicians stretch the truth, here and there, but McCain and Palin have turned out to be unbelievable. She gets caught lying about that stinking bridge to nowhere, and still she keeps bragging about it. How thick skinned is that? It is now hard to keep track of the lies, it has got sooo bad. The sad thing is, folks, it seem no matter how much they keep lying, and getting caught lying, polls indicate that the majority of the American people, once again, are fine with having an inexperienced, unqualified liar, in the WH. McCain has put aside any integrity and honor he might have had, and has turned into a shameless prevaricator. Yes he has brought change alright, from a straight talker into a damn LIAR. Obama has run a good campaign, but there is so much he can do, when you have a couple of dishonest people, backed by a ruthless bunch of criminals, running a campaign of gutter politics. We also have, unfortunately, citizens in the country, who are not too bright, very ignorant, and some bloody racists. They prefer to be without a job, and continue to be in this mess we are in, by courtesy of Bush and Cheney, than vote for change. What a sorry state we are in.
I actually read a woman say that she thought Palin would be fine with Putin in Russia, because after all, Palin was involved with the PTA. I have no idea how these people think. It's unbelievable. Maybe the answer is that you have to let these people go, but so many people believe the lies and don't want to hear anything else. Obama has to get back the people on the fence.
