Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them**

Well, after all, Al Franken ** wrote a whole book on it.  Now it seems he could write a whole book on the last two weeks alone.  Now another lie from the McCain campaign.  

Remember how Palin has been outside of our own country?  That the republicans touted her visit to Iraq and has been to Ireland?

well, Gov. Palin and Senator McCain, a pit-stop is NOT the same as visiting a country.

Another lie:


WASILLA, Alaska -- Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin are scrambling to explain details of her only trip outside North America -- which, according to a new report, did not include Iraq, as the McCain-Palin campaign had initially claimed.

Palin made an official visit to see Alaskan troops in Kuwait in July of 2007. There, she made a stop at a border crossing with Iraq, but did not actually visit the country, according to a new report in the Boston Globe.

Earlier, McCain aides had said that Palin visited Iraq, and expressed indignation at questions about her slim foreign travel.

The campaign also said she had been to Ireland; that turned out to have been a refueling stop.

In her ABC interview, Palin said she had also been to Canada and to Mexico, where her advisers said she went on vacation.

Drinking shots in Cancun - well, to be honest I don't know where she went in Mexico - does not equate to "foreign" experience.   Going to Canada on vacation does not equate to "foreign" experience.

If that was the case, I would really have racked up the foreign experience since I have been to many countries.  

Some of you may say, this is a non-issue.  Well, maybe you are correct.  However, you are missing the point.  Add this little tidbit (i.e. LIE) to the slew of other LIES and a disturbing pattern emerges

Lies and more lies from liars who are trying to distort the truth ON PURPOSE to get your votes.  And they are not even hiding it well.  Any person with an internet connection can look this stuff up.

So, my hat goes off to the team of McCain/Palin.  Usually, politicians will tell their lies spaced out over a span of time.  Here, we get a plethora of lies within the same day.  And they are easy to debunk.

The newsprint media is doing their job.  Now, how can we get the people to read?

Re: Do we have her on video

someone needs to go to one of their campaign stops and video tape them.

they aren't coming to my blue state - so how about those swing state-ers here?  

Because they keep telling the lies, even when the media has called them on it.

In all fairness

She could probably see Iraq from where she was in Kuwait.  That's really all ya need, right?

Speaking of Al

The latest poll from Susa shows him down one (it is still a KSTP exclusive so I can't get the data from it).
40-41-14 (SUSA)
41-40-8 (MPR)
45-45 RR

He is looking a lot better and Coleman is a gaffe machine
