AP Reports on McCain Lies

It's beginning to look like Senator McCain is being called out for the deception and out right lies from his own mouth. Over at the Associated Press they are chatting up the lies and labeling them for exactly what they are... Lies!

Keith Olberman of MSNBC has this to say on it as well as an interview with the Daily Kos founder...

With all due respect to my right leaning friends and family, are you kidding me? I think we have had enough these last eight years with the liar and chief and Darth Vader in a remote unknown location. John McCain wants to lead the American people but he doesn't want to tell you the truth on many of the talking points he uses in his stump speech. So much for the old phrase "Truth, Justice, and the American Way". I think we might need to change that to "Deception, Corruption and the Republican Way"!

What kills me is that almost half the people in this great country of ours actually think that John McCain is a regular guy just like them. How they came to that conclusion is beyond me. One thing is certain, if the people elect John McCain as our next President, guys like me will have four more years of great material for our blogs.

Huckabee RNC Speech

Is the average age of the GOP over sixty? Watching the speech from former Governor Huckabee that is now a Fox News consultant sure as hell looked that way. All those empty seats in the small stadium. Blocks of seats and all of the close ups in the speech were for the most part as if you were looking at a Social Security reunion speech.

This convention was similar to looking at an Amway rally. Of course the only ones invited were the ones that could afford to pay the entrance fee. Millionaires only allowed. No teenagers, no mid twenty year olds, nobody under thirty! Holy crap, McCain and the Republican party do not trust anyone over sixty! Except for hot babes that happen to be Governor of Alaska?

Leave it up to Republican’s like Mike Hucabee to draw the POW card and of course veterans that served an earned children the right to go to school because they served. Tell a story where a teacher teaches children why they have the right to a school desk and it is because veterans fought for it and they gave it to them. Then John McCain votes against most of the bills funding the Veterans Administration that services all of our wounded veterans? Tell me I’m wrong but I believe it was Franklin Roosevelt that made public education mandated. It may have been Truman but it was not a Republican President. Over at MSNBC they have Hucabee's speech...



Keep playing the Veteran card, and keep playing the POW card. Then vote against veterans every single time in mass as a political party. If you don’t get it by now that the Republican Party is all about protecting the money they already have then you honestly don’t know what politics is all about. Their candidate is not about you, it is about protecting them.

Palin Controversy Continues…

I find that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being an Independent registered voter. In my mind it simply means that you can not honestly follow the path of the two main stream political parties in America. Technically, I am a moderate that happens to be stuck in the middle with millions of other swing voters still registered as either a Democrat or a Republican.

Todd Palin, the husband of GOP nominee for Vice President and Governor of Alaska, was registered as an Independent for a few years. Over at Talking Points Memo they have this on it…

Founder Of Group Palin Courted Professed "Hatred For The American Government"; Cursed "Damn Flag"
By Greg Sargent - September 2, 2008, 6:10PM

The founder of the Alaska Independence Party -- a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years -- once professed his "hatred for the American government" and cursed the American flag as a "damn flag."

The AIP founder, Joe Vogler, made the comments in 1991, in an interview that's now housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government," Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.

"And I won't be buried under their damn flag," Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. "I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."

At another point, Volger advocated renouncing allegiance to the United States. In the course of denouncing Federal regulation over land, he said:
"And then you get mad. And you say, the hell with them. And you renounce allegiance, and you pledge your efforts, your effects, your honor, your life to Alaska."

You can listen to audio of the relevant section of the Volger interview here. Bill Schneider, curator of oral history at the library, verified the authenticity of the interview and the quote to me a few moments ago.

Can we hear an “Ouch” from the bleacher seats at the GOP Convention? If people were actually sitting in those seats I’m sure we would have. News reports state that approximately 40% of the hall was not occupied. Maybe somebody at the McCain camp forgot to mail the invitations to the GOP Convention? I’m sure there is a very logical explanation.

Back to the Palin controversy, just as Obama went through the gates of hell with Reverend Wright, the Palin’s and the McCain’s are going to have to face this little factoid head on. It should be interesting to see how Governor Palin is going to explain her courting of the Alaska Independence Party to the national media down here in the lower fourty-eight.

And the endless wave of Palin controversy continues…
