At a certain point, politicians who lie persistently will lose their credibility with voters. What’s tragic in the United […]

The world must have turned on its axis. Cats must be barking and dogs meowing. How far do you have to go for Karl Rove to say you went too far?
Rove has leveled similar criticism against Obama.
Rove: “There ought to be an adult who says, ‘Do we really need to go that far in […]

On Wednesday night, a little reporting about the real John McCain made it past the McCain campaign’s carpetbombing of lies against Barack Obama. Predictably, the story, which came from The Nation magazine and MSNBC’S “Rachel Maddow Show,” has otherwise been ignored by the corporate media since then:

On Monday, the McCain campaign released an ad that repeats the false claim that Gov. Sarah Palin opposed the infamous Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska. In fact, she supported it 100 percent, when it was first introduced as a “pork” earmark on a bill by her mentor, Sen. Ted Stevens, Alaska’s senior senator who is […]

There’s yet another potential scandal dogging Gov. Sarah Palin as she continues to avoid speaking to the media. Seems she is refusing to release about 1,100 e-mails between herself and her aides that a Republican activist claims violate ethics and hiring rules. Of course, Palin and her cronies are crying “executive privilege,” but what […]

Dick Cheney with Lipstick   Sep. 8, 2008

Double McSame Dick Cheney took a moment off from his European tour to offer his opinion about his prospective replacement, Sarah Palin:
“I thought her appearance at (the) convention was superb. I watched that with great interest. I loved some of her lines: ‘What was the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? It’s […]

Shame on you, Sarah
ABC did a great job of researching some of the claims made in Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican convention. The speech was composed by a Bush speech writer, which would explain why I was unable to listen to it. It also explains why it was so untruthy.
PALIN: “[Obama] is a man […]

A kick butt and take names lawyer is in charge of defending Alaska Gov. and Republican Vice Presidential pick Sarah Palin in her abuse of power case in her home state.
