McCain and Palin Lies

By now, everyone that reads an online blog knows that the Sarah Palin RNC speech was full of lies. The bridge to nowhere that she was all for before she was against it was her John Kerry moment in political history. Her statement that Barack Obama has never passed any legislation in the U.S. Senate (129 in fact). That she sold the Governors jet on Ebay but actually only listed it on Ebay, twice. She actually sold it eventually through a broker for a loss of close to $750,000 that the people of Alaska took the hit for. Hint, hint to real reporters, who bought the jet from the Governor of Alaska? Follow the money! She claims to have cut spending in her home town but put them into debt for generations under her leadership. Zero budget deficit before Palin (BP), After Palin (AP) $29,000,000. How does a population of 9,000 people pay off that kind of debt?

Then you have Senator (Maverick) McCain repeating the same lies from Palin as if she is his savior in this political race. During his acceptance speech he offered no plans to change the status quo other than he is a Maverick? He will bring change, but it’s a secret as to how and when? Where was the health care issue, where was the veterans issues, no wait, he covered veterans issues with a back drop picture of Walter Reed School in California. A MAJOR BLUNDER! Somebody didn't "vette" the search engine picture that was plastered behind McCain on the monster video green screen behind McCain during his acceptance speech for the Repulican Nomination for President. Nobody from the McCain campaign has said to date that it was supposed to be Walter Reed Hospital for wounded veterans but the opinions and context of his speech dictate that it was supposed to be. We are supposed to assume it was a mistake but if you look at John McCain’s record on voting for veteran benefits and funding it was a slap in the face to all veterans. Over at the Gun Toting Liberal he has this to say…

"So, here is the guy who wants to play “tough guy” with Iran. If the man and his oh-so-competent staff can’t find Walter Reed Army Medical Center on the Internets, how in the HELL can we be certain they’re going to be able to locate Iran?" - Gun Toting Liberal (My Brother from another mother on the blogosphere)

John McCain is running his campaign as an outside observer and I honestly believe that his own campaign staff is incompetent. Which then begs the question of who he will pull into his confidence as cabinet members? America has had enough of Bush incompetence, misdirection, lies, and out right avoidance of the truth and issues facing our nation. If John McCain had vetted his choice for Vice President as he and his staff should have then he would have known all of these bombshells existed, they didn’t. Nobody did their homework in the McCain camp and it shows. Now they are crying that the Mains Stream Media (MSM) is being unfair in asking his Vice President choice hard questions? Two words, Hillary Clinton!

McCain in his choice for VP assumed that simply because Sarah Palin is a woman she would automatically draw a large portion of the Hillary Clinton supporters that just happen to have a uterus. That is so far from the truth and John McCain made a huge mistake. Then again, the truth is something his anti-veteran based voting record proves out.

So the question is right in front of us about selecting our next President of the United States, more lies or the truth? Someone offering hope, real change, a better tomorrow, or someone that has no clue as to whom his Vice President pick actually is. McCain’s picking Governor Sarah Palin is very much similar to sexually transmitted diseases, he may be in bed with her now politically but who has she been in bed with politically before he picked her for his Vice President?

Those are legitimate questions to be asked by the MSM! And then some…

McCain Deception at Saddleback Church

Rick Warren holds in his hands and his church the thoughts of many Evangelical voters. The people following his church, Saddleback Faith, his reputation as a leader in that faith is now in question if the responses to a closed question and answer session of both Presidential candidates is ever proven out that John McCain was prompted on any of the answers to the questions. Devout honesty is paramount in this type of question and answer session. Cone of silence aside, as Rick Warren promised had been compromised and the MSM press is all over it like a fire ants nest disturbed. Obama was set up and Rick Warren is hiding something. That something is the truth and the fact that he wanted Obama to look like a near do well, and his prefered candidate a star.

Evangelicals should be very wary of a man like John McCain that declares his faith is in the same corner as their belief, but when an opportunity to lie and deceive people presents itself he grasps it as if it were gold. Lies, deception, and anything you want to hear is in the McCain campaign mantra that if an edge presents itself that it can somehow be garnished by answering questions that Senator McCain was not supposed to hear, then John McCain will take it. Answers that Senator Obama gave to the same questions honestly and thoughtfully were allegedly prepared for Senator McCain and this is outrageous! Over at the Huffington Post they are questioning McCain’s responses…

I must admit that listening to McCain answer Pastor Rick Warren's questions so quickly and glibly last night at the Saddleback Faith Forum made me wonder if he somehow knew them in advance. He was so confident, so concise. But I put the thought aside as unduly paranoid -- that is until a few minutes ago. I was routinely checking my favorite election website fivethirtyeight.com and the webmaster, Nate Silver, referred to a piece in Daily Kos about the whereabouts of John McCain for the first thirty minutes of Senator Obama's interview with Rick Warren. Was he in a cone of silence? Perhaps not. - Huffington Post

Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC raised this ruckus and I happen to think that she is right. John McCain never does well on off the wall comments and usually stumbles in all of his replies. Yes, both of the candidates were given a heads up by Rick Warren on what the subjects were going to be about but there was no knowledge of the exact questions before the event at Saddleback. Somebody is lying and this You Tube video slams the door shut. John McCain was fully aware of the questions to be asked, most likely prompted on the responses to give, and his opponent Barack Obama was totally in the dark.



How did John McCain with his upfront personality answer the questions that were supposed to be asked answer them so quickly on education? He couldn't have unless he knew ahead of time what they were going to be. Tell me I’m wrong! Tell me that you would vote for a person that would rather lie, deceive, cheat, steal, and rather lose his own soul just to win an office job in the White House. Power is a strong motive and motivation based on shadows of the truth is not and can not be the American way. Never!

We can look back on our own American history and be proud of George Washington our first President, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan all as Presidents that contributed so much to what it means to be an American today. You may or may not agree to any of their politics but shame or regret was never in their minds while President. Their work as President was not about them at all, it was about building America to be a better nation.

Can we honestly look at John McCain as a Presidential contender that has morphed himself into George W. Bush, one of the least popular Presidents in American history? An administration of the White House where lies have superseded the truth more times than not? You decide, it’s your vote!
