Sick of All the Republican Lying

I'm watching Sarah Palin on CNN, and to borrow a phrase from Minnesota Democratic Senate Candidate Al Franken, they're a bunch of lying liars. Don't believe their bullshit - the McCain campaign is employing the "lie long enough and lie hard enough, eventually the truth will be overwhelmed" strategy. Palin was just on talking about how Obama's going to raise taxes, but of course she's not going to point out that he's going to allow Bush's tax cuts for the top 1% to expire, and of course she's not going to point out that Obama's tax plan actually cuts taxes for more Americans in the middle-income brackets than McCain's plan does. It's all just a snowjob. If you've got nothing, if you've got no plan, just lie. I'm absolutely disgusted. And the network news is doing nothing more than picking off the low-hanging fruit, like Palin's bridge-to-nowhere bullshit.

Good stuff and full of reminders why John McCain is absolutely the wrong person to be in charge of our economy - as if all of last week's flip-flopping on the "fundamentals of the economy" and bailing out AIG, and on regulation vs. deregulation weren't enough of a clue that a clue on the economy is what he lacks.
