LYING
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 12:02 AM by Labors of Hercules
Is wrong.

It needs to be called what it is and result in DIRE consequences.

McCain and Palin are liars.

They should be run out of the country on a rail. :grr:

ENOUGH! They have been given too much latitude already.

It is time for everyone opposed to them to GET BRUTAL!!!! :spank:

1. Every time I see one of those miserable attack ads--
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 12:09 AM by vixengrl
which are incidentally all McCain has, talking about "Obama will raise your taxes"--they raise my blood pressure. Lie! Damn lie!

The economists have been over that one, and the fact checkers have been on it, too. Barack Obama, like he said, will not raise taxes if you make under $250,000. That's a very small percentage of people with a tax raise. In the meantime, it's McCain who will tax your employer-provided benefits--whoa! Tax raise on the middle class! And also, McCain talks about how peope will lose jobs with Obama's economic plans--

Plenty proof McCain knows nothing about them (um, see who worked on Wall Street a little--maybe educated himself...) McCain's plan is a continuatio of BUsh policies, and unemployment is at a five year low--

Who's better off than they were four years ago? Anybody?

His lies about his super-great VP pick are so pathetic--she is not a reformer except by accident and she is not qualiied for the job, her foreign policy cred is nil, and if she's learning at Lieberman's knee, she's picking up bad neo-con habits. The E-bay plane sale lie though is egregious because, yes, it would be a great story if it were true, but it isn't! Just isn't!

Hearing a BS ad, with "I'm John McCain and I approved this message," just reinforces to me: "I'm John MCCain, and I gave up all hope of being honest years ago. Think of putting my old behind in the Oval Office as 'Make a Wish' for old rich people. Or send me to Disneyland. That might be nice, too."

(Sorry--I just don't type well. At 1 am. When at the bourbon again.)

2. How about this?
This is the LTTE I sent to the local paper yesterday. Will it get published? I'm guessing no, but I tried!! As you can tell, the ultimate hypocrisy of "Christians" like Sarah Palin gets on my last nerve.

Last evening devout Christian Sarah Palin spoke to the nation to accept the Republican nomination for Vice President.

This devout Christian stood at the microphone and lied. She lied about Barack Obama’s record in the Senate. According to her, he has passed no legislation. Senator Obama’s Senate record includes the 2007 Ethics Reform law, the Comprehensive Nuclear Threat Reduction Strategy, and legislation to expand availability of health care to children. For our troops, he worked to help homeless veterans, block attempts to reduce support to veterans with post-traumatic stress, and help the families of deployed troops.

She lied about her own record. She hasn’t stood against earmarks and lobbyists. As mayor she hired lobbyists to bring federal earmarks to her town. She was all for “the bridge to nowhere” before she was against it.

The lies came among a long list of nasty personal attacks. And yet, I’m told again and again that Sarah Palin is a devout Christian. Don’t devout Christians honor the Ten Commandments? Isn’t there a commandment about “bearing false witness against your neighbor”?
