Once again the lies coming out of John McCain's mouth are astounding. McCain is lying when he says Obama will raise taxes for the middle class. McCain lies when he says that he has not been influenced by lobbyists. His top campaign advisers are all lobbyists!!!!! Sometimes McCain denies that he said something (like when he denied that he said he knows nothing about economics). Is it possible that McCain has become so good at lying that he cannot tell the difference between the truth and lies?
Yesterday McCain said the economy is strong. Really?
1. Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy is the largest bankruptcy in American history. (Lehman brothers has been in business since the 1840's.)
2. Hewlett-Packard will cut 24,000 jobs, according to NPR.
3. AIG is on the brink of financial problems.
4. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: the unemployment rate was 6.1% in August.
Some of the largest insurance and financial companies are going down the toilet, but McCain said everything is wonderful and sound. Phil Gramm, McCain's economic adviser, believes that the regulation of banks and financial institutions is wrong. Seriously. Gramm has ties to the Enron collapse. Don't you wonder what world McCain is living in that has him completely divorced from reality? It might be that having a private plan, 7 houses, and $500 shoes makes him think that the economy is strong.
Sarah Palin isn't any better. She said she told Washington "NO THANKS" when it came to the 'bridge to nowhere.' She is lying and all the major news media have said it. Are Republicans so stupid that they believe this crap???? Yesterday, Palin said, according to MSNBC, ".....government often “gets in the way when innovators” take on diseases like cancer and Parkinson’s disease....." That means that McCain and Palin plan to cut funding to cancer and Parkinson's disease, that way the government won't be in the way. Palin doesn't believe in free rape kits for victims of rape, doesn't believe in science, is against equal pay for women, has worked in secret negotiations with oil companies, wants to remove polar bears from the endangered species list, has employed high school friends in her state government, and now is refusing to comply with the investigation of the "Troopergate Scandal" in her state.
Sounds to me like McCain-Palin is just like Bush-Cheney, only scarier. The only way to get out of this mess is to vote for real change. Vote for Barack Obama for President.
