LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES - THE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING!

Looking through the papers this morning, I am noticing a tone.  the McCain camp has nothing but lies and half truths.  

Sarah Palin is leading with the most RECENT lies.

LIE NUMBER 1

Palin told ABC News in an interview broadcast Thursday and Friday.

“Show me where I have ever said that there’s absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any effect or no effect on climate change. I have not said that,”

Truth: She has told the Internet news site Newsmax,

“A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. … I’m not one, though, who would attribute it to being man-made.”

In an interview with a Fairbanks newspaper within the last year, Palin said:

“I’m not an Al Gore, doom-and-gloom environmentalist blaming the changes in our climate on human activity.” ABC cited the interview as being at odds with her statement.

LIE NUMBER 2

Palin also said that while she had not met any foreign heads of state, many other vice presidents may not have, either.

Truth: VPs who have served since 1977 – George H.W. Bush, the former ambassador to China and CIA director;

Dick Cheney, chief of staff for President Ford and defense secretary for Bush;

Sens. Walter Mondale, Dan Quayle and Gore have met heads of state and other foreign leaders because of their extensive experience in the federal government.

LIE NUMBER 3

“I will be ready on day one”

Truth: Questions about Palin’s knowledge of foreign policy dominated the interview with ABC’s Charles Gibson. Palin repeated her earlier assertions that she’s ready to be president if called upon, yet she sidestepped questions on whether she had the national security credentials needed to be commander in chief.

NY Times

At times visibly nervous, at others appearing to hew so closely to prepared answers that she used the exact same phrases repeatedly, Ms. Palin most visibly stumbled when she was asked by Mr. Gibson if she agreed with the Bush doctrine. Ms. Palin did not seem to know what he was talking about. Mr. Gibson, sounding like an impatient teacher, informed her that it meant the right of “anticipatory self-defense.”

LIE NUMBER 4

Obama wants to teach sex to Kindergartners

Truth: NY Times

After back-to-back attack ads by Mr. McCain, including one that misleadingly accused Mr. Obama of endorsing sex education for kindergarten students

The McCain will not be able to keep this up long.  people will begin to feel like everything they say is questionable – reminding them of the last 7 years – MORE OF THE SAME!
