No, I Get It

The AP called a lot of McCain and Palin’s statements at the RNC “stretching the truth.” Says Rachel Maddow, “We’re going to go out on a limb here on Countdown and call it “lies.” We’re also going to call the repeated telling of those lies, lying.” The charge that Obama authored two memoirs, but not a single major law or reform: lie. Sen. Obama wants to raise your taxes if you aren’t in the wealthiest 1% of the country: lie. Obama never worked with Republicans to pass legislation: lie.

I mean, these aren’t hard facts to look up. It is pretty easy to get right. Essentially, it means McCain/Palin are deliberately lying or they are just dumb — neither one of which will get you into the White House. Unless of course, you are President Bush, where a precise combination of the two will get you re-elected.
