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 is cutting taxes for almost all Americans.  His tax cuts are bigger than McCain's.

Obama wants to repeal Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 brackets.  McCain wants to give them more cuts.

I have links to their policies in my sig.  They're very clear.  If you just Google Image Search "obama mccain tax cut" you get several handy graphs comparing the two.  It's much more efficient than to spit out a talking point.
