When Obama attacks his opponents' positions, he doesn't make up bullshit. Palin lied through her teeth several times. And he actually explains why he believes his strategies are better. Palin just said "Obama will raise every tax ever (huge lie) and I'm a hockey mom!" I know both parties fight dirty, but I don't think Obama and Biden are fighting as dirty as Palin did last night.

 

You need to come to a new definition of "lie" ... The Tax Policy Center claims that Obama plans on increasing taxes by $627 Billion over 10 years; and Obama's plan includes increases in multiple taxes to achieve this goal.

Is it as awful as the Republican's will portray? No, but it is no more misleading than anything the Democrats say about the Republican's policies.

Obama has been very upfront that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts.  I don't know how you can say he is lying about it when he brings it up just about every speech.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
