Follow this link to an ABC story that debunks McCain claims of Obama’s double dealing in Iraq.
It should not surprise us that the Republicans should make this accusation. It was a Republican, Ronald Reagan, who encouraged Iran to keep our hostages until Jimmy Carter left office.
Follow this link to an interview of John McCain by Steve Carrell in 2000.
He asked McCain how he could reconcile his criticism of pork-barrel politics with the fact that “while you were chairman of the Commerce Committee, that committee set a record for unauthorized appropriations.” For a long moment, McCain was speechless.
1 Lie Per Minute
Follow this link to see a video showing the lies that John McCain has approved.
The video mentions the following truths:
– McCain derides Obama for protecting children from sexual predators
– McCain derides Obama for wanting to talk to Iran although we talked to the USSR
– McCain misinterprets reason why Obama blocked from seeing troops by Pentagon
– McCain has frequently not supported the troops
– McCains campaign filled with lobbyists he claims to have restricted in politics
– McCain’s plan for drilling will have no impact for 30 years.
If the truth were on their side, they would tell the truth.
2 Lies Per Minute
Follow this link where Eric Zorn explains in a Chicago Tribune article what a “present” vote by Barack Obama in the Illinois Legislature really means.
Again, Sarah Palin, takes a cheap shot with a Big Lie. To be most charitable one might say she is spouting off again about subjects she knows nothing about. It is further proof that one refutation of a big lie is not enough. We have to refute over and over again. It also shows why I like to keep links to these refutations. With McCain/Palin, you know that one refutation is not enough.
I am going to take my own suggestion and develop a graphic Lieometer to use with all comments about the McCain/Palin strategy.
Thanks to RichardH for finding the above link to give credence to my explanation to him of the meaning of the “Present” vote.
