From www.factcheck.org

The new McCain-Palin ad "Lashing Out" begins like an earlier ad we criticized, with its reference to Barack Obama's celebrity, but then goes down new paths of deception. It takes quotes from news organizations and uses them out of context in an effort to portray Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden, as unfairly attacking Sarah Palin and making sexist remarks. We've long been a critic of candidates (Obama included) usurping the credibility of independent news organizations and peddling false quotes, and this ad is particularly egregious. We found it airing in Denver, as recorded by the Campaign Media Analysis Group, a unit of TNS Media Intelligence.

So it looks like Obama-Biden aren't attacking Palin, it just the repugnants maing noise.

Again from www.factcheck.org

Less Than Honest

With its latest ad, released Sept. 10, the McCain-Palin campaign has altered our message in a fashion we consider less than honest. The ad strives to convey the message that FactCheck.org said "completely false" attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin had come from Sen. Barack Obama. We said no such thing. We have yet to dispute any claim from the Obama campaign about Palin.

Emphasis mine

"...America's darling was asked in her interview with Charles Gibson what her opinion of the Bush doctrine is and she had no clue of what it is..."


Bull...I saw it too...don`t anyone trust the vid that`s been released...it`s been edited to make Palin look bad...just more Dem tricks which are just going to push more and more voters over to McCain!

FYI, she explained to Charles all about what Bush`s policies are...and, by doing so, exactly what the Bush doctrine is...smart lady!

Otoh, we still have BO`s IGNORANT statement on how Iran`s a tiny country which poses no threat...how he ignorantly is going to sit down with our terrorist enemies WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS and bring them around to our way of thinking...how he`s going to get rid of the world`s nuclear weapons including our own 1st...leaving us wide open to attacks from anyone...how he proposed a solution to the Russia-Georgia conflict which could simply be vetoed by Russia, etc., etc., etc!!!

Even worse, BO was never drilled on foreign policy like that and still has made many more ignorant statements!


"...What does she know? Drill, baby, drill!..."


Yep...she knows all about that alright...btw, it`s not a bad thing!



"...PS, she was also asked about the inclusion of Georgia and the Ukraine in NATO and if they were and Russia invaded them wouldn't be required to join in a war against Russia? You could see her glee when she essentially said, "You Betcha!" It must be another one of Gods tasks..."

More BULL!...which you took out of context and only told half the story!

It looks like Barack Obama wants open and honest government. The current batch of Republican politicians seem to like that as much a vampire likes sunlight.

Obama to pressure McCain on openness

Really?...Great!

Now let`s see some debates too...as you know, McCain`s wanted the town hall meetings/debates all along.

Palin claims Alaska "produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy." That's not true.

Alaska did produce 14 percent of all the oil from U.S. wells last year, but that's a far cry from all the "energy" produced in the U.S.

Alaska's share of domestic energy production was 3.5 percent, according to the official figures kept by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

And if by "supply" Palin meant all the energy consumed in the U.S., and not just produced here, then Alaska's production accounted for only 2.4 percent.

Sarah Palin was in Iraq (yeah, just like she didn't take in millions in earmarks):

What, Palin and her campaign can't keep track of her whereabouts, especially when it comes to Iraq?
Obama's campaign has it right on target when they call "reformer McCain" on how he runs his campaign:

For those of you still wondering how and why McCain will win, the Republican sleaze machine continues the BS express....

. . . the attacks on Palin look silly. The media is falling all over themselves to create a "gotcha" moment.

. . . but, it's not like she said Iran was a minor threat.

. . . and, seriously, if you had the power, wouldn't you fire a trooper who admits tasering his own kid?

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24325497-5012748,00.html

Maybe she's just on the forefront of an emerging civil rights issue?

http://blacksnob.blogspot.com/2008/07/fight-agaisnt-taser-abuse-and-other.html

. . . and, at least, she went to visit National Guard troops from her state at the Kuwait-Iraq border. It's not like she said she was ducking sniper fire.

In a word, Obama:

Obviously, they can see little or no change with McCain as president so our straight talk express is going to go nowhere fast.

The Democrats have conspired against her! Yeah right, and I suppose the commissioner who's describing her comments to ABC news as "not telling the truth" (ie lies)is an "Obama operative" as well... People get caught in their own doing and Palin is the one who got caught.
