    What is particularly awesome is that the dialogue has changed from Soccer Mom, isn't she awesome, Palin to "those lying scum bags. Is all they do is lie?" McCain/Palin. Just beat them to death as liars, which they are. I used to tell me kids, if you are going to lie, at LEAST be good at it. I mean do these people actually think we aren't going to check? Oh that's right, McCain isn't aware of the tubes that are the Internet and doesn't realize you can find out shit pretty damned fast.

    THIS JUST IN:

    Sarah Palin now claiming that a part-time job she once held as a waitress will give her the experience she needs to serve the American people.

    Lots of stuff will happen in this campaign in the next 8 weeks. We have to remember to keep hitting on this "lying" theme throughout. It won't become old news if we keep at it. Remember that the "lies" Kerry and Gore were accused of happened years earlier, and the Republicans kept hammering at them through the entire campaign right up to the election. There are a lot of attacks we can make against McCain, but this one is getting good traction (as it should). So to John A. and the rest here: don't let up! Give us reminders, push the resurgent 527s, keep at it! This meme has a lot of mileage left in it, easily 2 months worth, even if McCain only tells the truth from now on (unlikely!).
  • Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago
    You can see Russia from Alaska. That's Foreign Policy expertise right there.

    Yup.
  • Zang · 1 year ago
    Can anyone actually see the Russian mainland from Alaska? And if so, did Palin actually make the trip to do such a thing?
  • Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago
    Forget actually, these are Republicans.

    Not that actually would make any difference.

    As Yeats wrote:

    "For how can you compete, being honour bred,
    With one, who, were it proved he lies,
    Were neither shamed in his own,
    Nor in his neighbors eyes?"
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    Doesn't Palin's "christian faith" tell her that such egregious lying is an abomination? "Thou shall not bear false witness" you know...

    Obviously not. She'll do anything to win--just like over-confidently stating she didn't even mull over McBush's offer, like a reasonable person would do, but accepted immediately. It's all abou her, you know, not about the American people. She's a sick, sick person.

    And she's nothing but a Rethuglicon whore, IMHO, something I yell at the TV every day...
  • grandma · 1 year ago
    Her Christian faith would tell you that 'Satan is the father of lies....'

    Fuck the issues Barack, this campaign is now about lying, trust and honor. This is the theme to run with until the election. This is how we will win. You want 4 more years of lies, half truths and dishonor, then McCain is your man.
  • Johnnyappleseed · 1 year ago
    JNo - Obama's campaign can be about both McCain's lying and about the issues. Bush and the GOP lied us into a war, just like McCain is lying his way through a campaign. Bush and the GOP lied about torture, just like McCain is lying his way through his campaign. Bush and the GOP are lying about the economy, just like McCain is lying his way through his campaign.

    The lying by McCain is a fantastic opportunity for Obama to talk about the issues and reinforce his main campaign theme, that being that McCain = Bush.
  • JNo · 1 year ago
    Agree about the McCain=Bush being part of the theme but I am starting to wonder if issues matter any more? I hope so, but the message has to be simple and concise as you described above. There is no room for nuance anymore.
  • Johnnyappleseed · 1 year ago
    Palin went to college in Hawaii, right? How much you wanna bet that the plane taking her to Hawaii refueled in Mexico City before completing the trip.
  • grandma · 1 year ago
    I can't think of anything she has not lied about....

    A pathological liar.......I am sure by now she actually believes all her lies

    The shear volume of their lies is beginning to spill over into the mainstream press. Apparently even with ABC and their competitors, if you put 10 gallons of crap in a 5 gallon bucket people begin to notice!
  • grandma · 1 year ago
    I don't even believe the polls are honest anymore......Rovism has taken over.

    Karl Roves electoral map:
    These are the three latest entries on the Los Angeles Times' "Top of the Ticket" blog:

    "The Ticket's weekly national electoral map; McCain's bounce gains 2 states": Actually, The Ticket's national electoral map is Karl Rove's electoral map. Literally: "Here is the latest national electoral map constructed by Karl Rove & Co., which The Ticket publishes weekly as they become available."

    Sarah's been to Tijuana?
    Some very strange and unsavory things happen in Tijuana. I'm just sayin'.

    By the way, did you guys know that I'm the Queen of England? Don't any of you sexist pigs (with lipstick!) try to question that either.

    if you want to cut and paste, here's the email I just sent to everyone I know:

    Dear Friends and Family,

    I have a very important link to share. We have just 1 and a half months until the election, and there are a few great ads that need to be shown as often as possible between now and November 4th. Sometimes I feel like there is not a whole lot I can do to make a difference. But today I dug deep to help fund these ads and get them on the air. Even 5 bucks will go a long way. Let's do this thing.

    Follow this link to see the ads made by Planned Parenthood, the Defenders of Wildlife, Democracy for America and others. If you like the ad(s), you can go directly to the websites and make a contribution to get these on air.

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/13/12029/3...

    And email this to your friends... why not to your entire address book? You never know how many people are just itching to have the opportunity to do something.

    Much love to you all.

    And Palin has suddenly added "Mexico" to her list of countries she's visited

    could it have something to do with this?

    add animal husbandry to her list of "accomplishments"
  • General Zod · 1 year ago
    Sarah Palin is irrelevant. Joe Biden will feed her own liver to her at the debates. Her self-delusion of grandeur and rightousness will destroy her, and it will take McGoiter right down with her.

    You are witnissing the end of the GOP as you knew it - worthless liars who continue to think that the American people will continue to buy their snake oil. 2006 didn't teach them anything.
  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    The LIE about ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

    The size of McCain's crowds aren't nearly as large as McCain is claiming.
  • watou · 1 year ago
    There's a larger story here, about McCain's fall from grace -

    Keating 5? Dumping disfigured wife? Let me just voice frustration with accepting the framing that John McCain had any grace from which to fall in recent decades. He was a darling of the media because he knew how to butter their bread. But if you consider that "grace," all I can say is that you have bought into his unjustified marketing.
  • Sage24 · 1 year ago
    OMG. This is unbelievable. Lie after lie. Getting caught, and still lying.

    I have never seen such liars in my whole life. McCain and she seem to be pathological liars. But wait folks....we were lied to when Bush and Cheney ran in 2000 too, but that time the media were asleep at the wheel, now they, and even shows like The View, have become, I am happy to say, quite alert,and ready to check out facts. They let the country down at that time, and they let the people down before the Iraq war. Thank you MSM for being vigilant, this time.
  • OlderButWiser · 1 year ago
    When do we get the video of Palin giving McBush the blowjob? Anyone notice that McBush never goes anywhere without Cindy these days? She even had to horn in on his appearance on The View...had to protect him from those evil librul wimmin in that case. You can damn well bet that she secretly hates the younger Palin...knowing that McBush prefers younger women--she ought to know.

  • Rab · 1 year ago
    This is the beggining of the landslide. "The View" brought this to the forefront and exposed the unending, bald-face lying and is being challenged by MSM and McGramps has no wher to go. This lying speaks volumes to the independent, low info voter. Lying is very easy to understand, you don't even need to know what the issue is, if your'e lying, your'e a liar.
  • jmcon007 · 1 year ago
    Sad. At the point that his campaign was virtually broke, McCain signed a pact with the devil for 30 pieces of Rovian silver. He's not calling the shots in his campaign because the McCain campaign has morphed into the campaign to keep the neo-nuts in power and away from justice. Senator McCain lost his honor. Losing your moral courage will do that to you.

    I fear the election will be very close because the stupid voters (of which there are many) will go for McCain. White guy, war hero, perky little VP.

    Now, as for tainted dog food -- I feed my guys Newman's Organic and no people food. I just know in my heart that Paul Newman would never screw me
    over dog food. I give Newman's Organic five stars. NO, I'm not a dog food salesman.

    Obama/Rufus 2008!
  • Redphilly · 1 year ago
    Just another one of their many lies. Every time they lie the Obama campaign needs to call them on it. Flash it up on the television screen and number them. What we as Democrats have to do is when people go into the voting booths on November 4th remind them that they are voting for their lives and the lives of their children and grandchildren for the next 4 years. Sarah Palin is just a pretty face, her policies are extreme and she will not help you if you make less than $250,000 a year. I know women want a woman in the White House. Sarah Palin is not the right one. She actually is not for the rights of women. I am not a person who agrees with abortion. But I don't think I have a right to decide that for anyone else. Palin does!.
  • freshpaint · 1 year ago
    Fun in the sun at Cabo? Frolcking in Cancun with First Dude?

    I vacationed once in Mexico. Can I be president too? Can I?

    Maybe we should demand she get hypnotised in case there are other places she's visited but have repressed memories about.
  • CarolO · 1 year ago
    Sarah Palin:

    Lie 1: She sold the jet on Ebay for profit (lied on both accounts)
    Lie 2: She took no earmarks
    Lie 3: She is the one who stopped the building of the Bridge to NoWhere
    Lie 4: She was never in Iraq as reported and only got as far as the Kuwait border. She also never “visited” Finland but the jet stopped there to refuel.

    And still we have Troopergate looming and Palin is trying to block the subpoena’s. Nothing to hide then why block the subpoena’s?

    I don’t like someone who blatantly lies and her lies are one after another.
