McCain Lie and Sleaze Machine Revealed

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Sarah Palin was in Iraq (yeah, just like she didn't take in millions in earmarks):
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/13/palin.iraq/index.html
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....

Yeah, it is from Alternet.
It appears I'll have to amend my post on the RCP thread to note who's the most experienced at the anointing task from God...

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.

Cindy McCain:"They Picked Our Bones Clean"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/14/cindy-mccain-tough-interviewers-picked-our-bones-clean/
Hi Cindy, welcome to the world of accountability and responsibility. Yes, even you may be called on the carpet for telling lies, fabricating stories and mis-representing the records of your candidates and distorting the records of your opponents. I know it's a revelation for you but that's what happens in a democracy that has a free press. I know you and John, not to mention Sarah, find it difficult, if not impossible, to run an ethical and semi-honest campaign but more and more of us will know what you're up to when you are exposed for the sleaze bags that you truly are...

McCain: Economy is "Strong!"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/15/mccain-defends-economy-comments/
Looks like McCain either didn't read the morning newspaper, didn't check the internet (oops I forgot, he doesn't know how) or is simply fortifying his position that the economy is strong even though he says he doesn't know much about it.
Another four long years...

Sarah Won't Cooperate with "Tainted Probe"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/15/palin.investigation/index.html
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.

Why Should Govt Bail Out AIG?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I recall hearing some ultraconservative big wig last week complaining that the government bailout of Fannie et al was one of the biggest socialist economic moves since the commies rose to power back in the soviet times. Now the feds are bailing out AIG with 85 billion and apparently will be in the insurance/investment business with nearly an 80% equity stake in the company:
http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1841699,00.html
An abrupt turnaround, evidently to prevent economic calamity. Is it just coincidental that the decision happens to occur on the eve of a close presidential election?
