| bigjon said: exactly. Like you said they need all of the negative stories they can get. But how are they going to explain the 83% aproval rating. You don't get that by not serving the people. You see when you say lie that means they said it knowing it was not true and said it anyways. Like the pig with lipstick, if McCain really did feel this was a shot a Palin he did not lie. However that does not make it true. That is why I believe saying lie is not a good idea for anyone. That means you are not only judging their statement but their motives. I wish you guys would get that. But now I must call my fiance. I will come back and continue to "troll" in future days ; ) |
The 83% approval rating went down to 67% at the break of the trooper firing scandal, and eventually bounced back to 80%. A lot of that approval comes on the back of a tax on the oil companies profits in Alaska that was redistributed to taxpayers (in Alaska only). If my governor gave me a 4k check from taxing some windfall profits on a natural resource from my state, my approval of him would probably go up substantially too.
Her approval rating amongst alaskans as VP and not governor is a lower 65%, I believe seeing cited.
As far as McCain. No. Outright lie and fabrication. McCain himself used the same analogy of a pig with lipstick, in reference to a Hillary Clinton policy. If his campaign truly believes Obama was insulting Palin, then McCain owes Hillary one helluva belated apology.
Outright lie with intent to smear. You say we are judging their motives instead of the statement.... well isn't that what the McCain campaign did with Obama's statement? Judged it as an intent to insult rather than as the accepted and well known analogy that McCain himself has used?
If Obama ends up outright lying about McCain's campaign, I will call him out on it too. Enough is enough :|
