Post flabbergasted at pace and volume of lies from GOP this year.  Bottom line; they will say or do anything to retain power -- immoral, unethical, un-American. (One of Bush-in-Lipstick's top 23 lies featured below  -- her taking $230 mill of taxpayer money for the Bridge to Nowhere)

Will America continue to be led to the slaughter by the party of lies, slander and hate?

Begala, too;

The media have an obligation to point out when a politician is lying about a matter of fact, but the right-wing attack machine has so cowed some of them you can almost hear them moo.

"John McCain Says He's About Change, Too - Except For Economic Policy, Healthcare Policy, Tax Policy, Education Policy, Foreign Policy And
Karl Rove-Style Politics"

Will the country stand for it?  Mainstream media lining up directly behind hate-filled GOP, whihc has mandated 'no questions!' for Palin.  She'll have one puffball celebrity interview at home with Charlie Gibson of ABC -- that's it.

Rest of corporate media standing up and cheering for Palin 'phenomenon' -- in spite of  fact she cannot and will not address questions; has been shown to have lied on every significant 'achievment' she claims; ran every small government office she's had to date as if she were emperor; and would have the most powerful job in the world behind a 72 year-old 4 time melanoma sufferer.  Her position on issues?  Ask her Pentacostal pastor...

Can you spell FannieMae/Freddie Mac, Sarah?

We'll never know of course.

Americans -- are you better off today than 8 years ago?  Is America's position stronger in the world?

McCain is older and  less adept than Bush, and Palin is an immature wingnut.

Folks, you have no idea how bad off you will be in four years if you support this ticket spewed from the cuckoo's nest.

'they flee from me, who sometime did me seek';

...It's about honesty. The question should be whether McCain--and all the other Republicans who have been going on for months about Obama's dangerous lack of foreign policy experience--ever meant a word of it. And the answer is apparently not. Many conservative pundits woke up this very morning fully prepared to harp on Obama's alleged lack of experience for months more. Now they face the choice of either executing a Communist-style U-turn ("Experience? Feh! Who needs it?") or trying to keep a straight face while touting the importance of having been mayor of a town of 9,000 if you later find yourself president of a nation of 300 million...

...How could anyone truly believe that Barack Obama's background and job history are inadequate experience for a president, and simultaneously believe that Sarah Palin's background and job history are perfectly adequate? It's possible to believe one or the other. But both? Simply not possible. John McCain has been--what's the word?--lying. And so have all the pundits who rushed to defend McCain's choice.

This is especially damning to McCain because his case for himself (besides not being Barack Obama, a standard under which many of us might qualify) has rested on his honor and integrity. The North Vietnamese couldn't break him, and neither could the Brahmins of his own party in the Senate. He was a maverick who always told it straight. So much for that.
