Fact-checking John Mccain/Sarah Palin's lies

[granger18trains]

was a good one but thankfully a majority of Americans are not that stupid

[novabuffalo]

Perhaps the internal vetting should have been occuring with the tax law breakers the Obama adminstration put up for nomination. Ha Ha!

[mehmetnail]

Dont you guys see what this ad is trying to do?!For example the images of pack of wolves depicting that Obama and his campaigners are willing to go all the way and it makes them look like they are doing a awful thing.Anyone who is running for the vice presidency, especially in great country like USA should be checked and examined if they will be fit for duty.Democrats will have to really stupid not to do background checks on the people they are running against.

[sssdeecee]

It is misleading despicable ads like this that erode my normally calm demeanour. McPalin should not be able to get away with such distortions. It is ironic because worse than the opposite is true of their own campaign. The ad laws in the U.S. are far TOO lenient.

Freedom of speech is vitally important to preserve BUT freedom to lie should not be allowed! Do you agree? But one might ask, how does one know what the truth is and what a lie is. In cases like this, the truth is plain and obvious.

[mrc926]

Hothead and Pinhead, our Rep candidates. OMG.

[twebb72]

the trick their playing is the negative ad campaigns to prevent people from caring and not showing up at the vote. Negative campaigns help republicans win. Period. Its a time tested strategy.

boooo!! kool-aid? I'm not going idly stand by and let the same people who regulate ostentatious spending tell me suddenly

*in a week's time* "we under control' [-_-] . . .at least offer me a lemon with 'my' kool-aid !!!!

[skorcha]

McCain't/Milf '08~ too smart for America's own good

[wrappedhands]

If six years of republicans leading your country to ruin has not convinced you then you don't deserve to be a modern nation. Bush and a Tom DeLay led congress plus seven out of nine supreme court justices controlled the USA for over six years and they did nothing to make me want to keep them as leaders.

[ubuibiok]

Did you know that the reason why they put Lipstick on Pigs in Alaska is for self protection?

In 2000, there were 497 rapes reported in Alaska, FBI statistics show. That's a rate of 79.3 per 100,000 residents, the highest in the nation.

Palin Approved of Charging Rape Victims For the processing of Medical Rape Kits and the Exams used to gather evidence of the crime !

Google " rape victim law palin " see for your self, over 309000 references

[wizann39]

Mr. Putin,

With all due respect, we, as patriotic Americans, have been lied to, manipulated, and slapped in the face for at least 8 years by the Bush and Cheney administration. Please know that the average American is fully aware of Bush's "Doctrine" and "Propaganda". We do know the truth about his foreign policy, we know who has bankrolled him, we know of his supremist views and we do not want him either. What we believe as Americans is peace and tolerance for the betterment of all mankind.

[USA04July1776]

Traitor.

[photofu]

i'm satan and i approve john mccain.

[happyhappyjoyjoy2008]

Obamanites are havin a meltdown!

Way too funny!

Very entertaining!

McCain will be the 44th President of The United States.

[USA04July1776]

Woohooo!

Screw liberals, look at that jackass "wizann39" apologizing to Russia's Putin for America... what an asshole! They apologize to the terrorists, to communist dictators. Liberals are fucking disgusting, totally un-American.

I voted for Gore and Kerry, but no more Democratic BS for me. I am a patriot and I am tired of their anti-Americanism in the left.

McCAIN PALIN 2008!

Country first.

[talktal]

funny, you dont care mccain lies to get elected?

[happyhappyjoyjoy2008]

Are you kidding me? The choice between Obama and McCain is clear. Who in their right mind could even think that Obama can fix anything, really?

McCain may not be the best candidate, but Obama is a joke.

[talktal]

cant speak logically to someone who will elect another liar. enjoy begging for four more years of bush policies. enjoy trying to receive government cheese when all the money dries out from the banking system, jobs are lost left and right, and you are told to go eat cake. you really need to do more research. i feel bad for you.

[girzwald3]

Cant you fucking liberals go 5 minutes without spewing an obama slogan. Drop the 4 more years of bush shit. You fucking people are OBSESSED. SEEK HELP. Bush isnt up for election. Get over it.

And you know what, id take 8 more years of bush, than 1 year of obama and his fucked up policies. You dont "hope" for a better tommrow. You act. And change for the sake of change isnt necessarily good. Id take 20 more years of bush than one year of obamas "change". Socialism is gay.

[skorcha]

well 90% of "bush" IS up for re-election =)

[girzwald3]

How about you guys fact check your fact checking. Those 90% of the voting with bush......and mostly times when the house/senate is usually voting unanimously anyway.

Numbers can be spun to mean almost anything someone want them to mean.

Also, obama voted with bush 50% of the time, including a 2005 bill that gave subsides to oil and gas companies and that gave them tax breaks as well. 

Keep drinking the koolaid you stupid tool.

[apt420inc]

you must have money falling out of your pockets to say something as stupid as this 20 years of bush are you serious?really are you that dense

[girzwald3]

Nope, money is not falling out of my pockets. Thats how shitty obama is. Are YOU that dense?

[apt420inc]

im actually not even going to go any farther with you on this as its never a good idea to argue with an idiot 0bamm 08 change you racist rightwingers are afraid of

[girzwald3]

Typical. Fucking race obssesed domcrats. Like I asked earlyer, cant you libs go 5 minutes without spewing a slogan? Maybe YOU have white guilt and are voting for obama cause of it. But im not. Cause I have no white guilt (im not white anyway) and im also not a retard and a socialist....like you.

Go ahead, kick and scream and call me a racist bigot all you want. Your crying wolf tactics of racism are already backfireing.

[quantistica]

True. Wise men discuss. Ignorant people argue.

[x7knights]

well, we let bush give tax breaks to all the weathy ppl and punish the middle class and look where we r now, if the rich don't even know how to use there money well then wats the point of them having it all?

[girzwald3]

So, lets say you start a successful business. You work your ass off 12-14 hours a day to get this business off the ground. It starts booming and after a few years your business is a smashing success. Your business starts approaching that 250,000 mark. Are you going to gladly pay extra money even if you worked your ass off to get it? If you say anything but just plain YES, you are a hypocrite.

The middle class is shrinking cause the upper class is growing.

[Sarutahiko1]

i suppose you have evidence to support this last assertion?

actually i can answer no... because i dont vote for my own economic interest, i vote for what is best for society, EVEN IF IT COSTS ME MONEY.. this should be something obvious and widespread..

[ChristianM17]

Yes, more stupid facts. To even get to a point of $250,000 net income, you'd need to actually get around 1million. Why? expenses from the company won't be looked as net income but rather gross income. Furthermore, this net income is as to how you get your money back. Talking about bullshit you don't know makes you look pretty retarded. You've bought the GOP ads, huh?

[girzwald3]

And what you socialist and socialist sympathizers will seemingly never understand about economics is..... You will never hurt the rich without hurting all of society. Its either cuba or Venezuela. They have price controls. They are shit holes.

If a businesses taxes are raise YOU will be paying it. Because a business needs to survive, so YOU will be paying their higher taxes with higher prices.  Taxes jack up prices sky high. Go look up how much your local gas would be without any taxes.

[x7knights]

like i m saying, bush gave tax breaks to big oil companies and we r still paying over $3, do u remember wat gas was before bush went into office and wat it was during the clinton era, and do u remember the tax plan that clinton did back in the 90's, the same plan that obama wants to bring in and i remember how good the 90's were, u just want to forget all the good things that one person did just because of one mistake that he did, u republicans like to forget things easily from the left side

[girzwald3]

OMFG. We are paying over 3 dollars a gallon because we are paying over 100 dollars barrel for oil! Ya I remember the clinton years. He refused to let us drill because "we wont see any for 10 years" well guess what, its more than 10 years later! So I guess thats 2 things that clinton fucked up with. And he did plenty more. News flash, republicans dont give a shit about him getting a blowjob. No we dont, we give a fuck about all the things he WASNT doing while getting blown.

[x7knights]

yea he didn't want to drill because the gas prices were fine until bush came in, o and for some reason the prices went up all of a sudden when bush came, and drilling now wouldn't solve much of anything, we have about 3% of the worlds oil here, and waiting 10 years for about a couple gallons of oil is pointless

[girzwald3]

Oh, we only have 3% of the worlds oil? Wow, that sounds like a small amount! You are such a tool. 3% of a shit ton, is still a lot. Its not "a couple of gallons" its millions a day.

Ya, and gas prices WERE fine, until demand around the world skyrocketed! And we didn't increase our own supply. Us being able to supplement our supply could have kept it level, but, nope. Clinton blew it.

For the love of God, stop spewing liberal talking points and being such an ignoramus.

[girzwald3]

Look, its simple. We are in this mess cause we AREN'T drilling all we can. So clearly the solution IS to drill more. Its fucking common sense.

If the US started starving, don't you think the solution would be to GROW MORE FOOD? Same principle.

Alternative energy blah blah.we are working on it, ITS NOT READY. Not everyone can afford a hybrid, and even less people can afford hydrogen cars and solar paneling.

People didn't automatically abandon the horse and buggy when the car was invented.

[ChristianM17]

Wait wait, so you want us to get out of this oil addiction by drilling? Same as you'd stop a drug addict from using drugs by giving him more drugs. That's a nice way of thinking.

Drilling won't take effect until 2015 and that is IF they drill in the right place. Again, your facts and arguments are by far irrational and idiotic.

[girzwald3]

Drilling wont take effect untill 2015 Hmmmmmm well, if we drilled BACK IN THE 90's when clinton gave the same fucking retarded reason WED HAVE THAT OIL NOW. But no, you idiots give the same reason, "we wont see it for 10 years" well guess what, its been 10 years AND WE NEEDED IT.

And enough with the liberal talking point. We arent "addicted to oil" its what we use for energy. I guess way back when, we were addicted to horses cause thats what we used to do our work.

[ChristianM17]

No you dumbass. We use 1/4(30%) of the whole OIL from the middle east yet we're only 5% of the whole world population. We have coil, solar, wind and nuclear energy but no, you want to use oil. Do you know that we have alot of dry rocky oil from utah and new mexico? It costs alot of money to refine such "dirty oil" for our accomodations. Yet you're stupid enough to understand the logistics about energy. Once you're knowledgable about it, come baack and reply. In the meantime, go back to school.

[girzwald3]

Ah, you know its more expensive, but wonder why we dont use the oil sands of america or even canada. Geee, it could be that even though we have all that HERE, its still cheaper to get it elsewhere.

God you are so fucking stupid it hurts.

Just wear a sign that says "Im a fucking dumb ass and walking liberal talking point"

Go educate yourself you ignorant fuck.

[ChristianM17]

yeah, you don't know shit about refinering.

Do you know dirty oil is actually oil that hasnt been naturally liquified? it takes a process of decontamination and refining. There processing is expensive and then you'd have to refine it again to convert it into what we use as our oil boilers and gasoline/petroleum for our automobiles. Things you know nothing about yet you love to talk about it. Again, don't hit the post comment button unless you know what you're talking about, kthx

[EyeLean5280]

"That oil" is such a small drop in the bucket of world oil, though, ChristianM17, so even if we had it now, it wouldn't be making much difference.

True, most of our energy comes from oil. But there are better choices that decrease the ecological and geopolitical price we pay to use them, as well as the consumer dollars we pay.

Solar energy's been talked about since the 1930s. What if we'd put our efforts into THAT all this time???

[girzwald3]

Your comparing us to using oil.......to a drug addict............is completely asinine.

Do you even know what a hydrogen car costs? or how many solar panels or wind turbines it would take to power a city? And how much it would cost? Its expensive, and its not viable right now. When the invisable hand of the market says its time, it will happen.

There was no government intervention needed to make us stop using the horse and buggy or candles. Better tech happens.

[girzwald3]

And of course, according to your retarded logic, we should halt any and all drug development and medical research......because we wont see it for years.

Your logic, not mine.

Igiot.

[kenguru73]

i'm so happy not to be an american. you're so... american. :-)

[girzwald3]

All I hear from you non Americans when you say stuff like that is "Sour Grapes"

[cosmlayla]

these people are the sleezy.
