		<description>.

Repeat a lie often enough, people will believe you...

Just like:
&lt;strong&gt;IMPEACHMENT IS OFF THE TABLE!&lt;/strong&gt;
Example all the zombies who believed that one and consequentially allowed the Constitution to be off the table too... eh T.P.?

So many Constitutional violations yet, Impeachment is off the table... 

One can only wonder WHY?

		<description>At the end MCain said Palin vetoed many bills that came across her desk as governor and she&#039;ll continue to do the same in Washington.

		<description>This is getting rediculous.

 I begin to go from &quot;why are they lying (with half truth/half lies)?.

 Now I more convinced John is being told the rest of the world is wrong and their just trying to bring down his Veep.

 John McCain most likely believes these Palin-anonomys simply because he trusts his campaign people when they tell him what to beleive.

 McCain is isolated from the rest of America for his campaign.  No doubt he will be like this but on steriods if president.</description>

		<description>The Straight Out Lie Talk Express just keeps on going. 

Hopefully it will run out of gas soon or fall off a bridge to nowhere! 

Even the mainstream media talking heads are picking up on it(except of course Fox and CNBC). 
Sadly, that takes quite an effort.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;RantingTommy Says:
they are cowards that don’t care if they are being lied to as long as it makes them FEEL safer
still, the central theme this year is:
YOU JUST CAN’T TRUST JOHN MCCAIN!
Because he lies. A lot.&lt;/em&gt;

What cracks me up about McBush/Palin is that they are both bragging that they have stood up to the big-bad Republican party and yet they want you to vote for the party they stood up to.  You don&#039;t stand up to something/someone unless they are doing something wrong.  So why would they want you to vote for someone/something who is doing things wrong?</description>

<p>What cracks me up about McBush/Palin is that they are both bragging that they have stood up to the big-bad Republican party and yet they want you to vote for the party they stood up to.  You don&#8217;t stand up to something/someone unless they are doing something wrong.  So why would they want you to vote for someone/something who is doing things wrong?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5231124', 400, 400)"></a></p>

The Michigan GOP is counting on voters to not know their rights under the law. And for the ones who do know the law, they’re going to give them as much trouble as possible. The more time they spend challenging perfectly legal voters, the longer it will take to vote, the longer the lines will be, and the more people will drop out before casting their vote.

That’s how you rig an election. You don’t need to hack voting machines or manipulate vote counts - you just need to annoy enough people in your opponent’s districts.

This is one of the reasons why the Obama workers here in North Carolina will be phoning and ringing doorbells like mad just before Election Day, and also during the early voting period.  We will be contacting every single registered Democrat we can reach.

We want to make sure we uncover as many people as possible who have received ambiguous &quot;voter registration&quot; or &quot;absentee ballot&quot; mail from the opposition, or who have gotten robocalls suggesting they aren&#039;t registered.  Our aim is to assure registered voters that they ARE registered, ensure they have accurate voting information, and debunk any misleading garbage they have heard or read.

It will be a big job, but necessary.  I&#039;m sure Obama people in all battleground states will be doing the same.</description>

		<description>Really the majority of Americans are not well informed. Sometimes I think Thomas Jefferson was right when he suggested that people should have to pass an intelligence test before they would be allowed to vote. Not exactly correct in a democracy. People like flashy and McCain&#039;s people knew it and they selected the flashiest they could find. Never mind her lack of experience and all the baggage she carries with her. Also McCain was so revered by reporters that as a result the &quot;maverick&quot; and &quot;reformer&quot; labels stuck. Now at last all the major newspapers have come down hard on all the lying by both McCain and Palin, but is it too late to influence the independents? It really is a shame that independents who have no real convictions nearly always decide the outcome of the presidential elections.</description>
