CNN

Obama's getting desperate! He'll need the Clintons. How ironic considering how he's been treating the Clintons, especially about Clinton's debt.

New Face – same old lies. The problem is that the GOP as a whole (and this means all you people that vote for these creeps) does not care about facts, lies, morals, ethics, and accountabiltiy. Sarah Palin looks more and more like George Bush with a little lipstick and a shrillness in her voice (I think it's the sound of bull moose in love).

CNN post this please!

Again fear wil rule the USA!
Again the Americans wil elect the wrong candidate!
Again America wil lose support of foreign countrys!
Again no healt ensurence for everyone!
Again a new war to come and two others to end!
Again four years economic disaster
America, America, where is your dream?
The land of the free wil become the land
of an old tired man and his pitbull.
What a shame!

Dems are doomed.
Republican surge gonna put Obama and his liberal supporter into history books

Lisa,

There's a Newsweek article (available on a rival network site) that details the problems with the methodology in the Gallup poll. That poll has been wildly out of sync with other polls before. Its likely that McCain is a little ahead at the moment (convention bump) just as Obama was after the Democratic convention. However, since no other poll shows a 10 point margin and since no president in living memory has won with a 10 point margin, and since the country remains deeply divided, that Gallup poll is suspect. Of course, Republicans are prone to believing fairy tales that support their view of the world (hence the idea that the party in power is suddenly going to reverse course), so they accept this as reality.

I wonder where the story about Sarah Palin's mischaracterization of what caused the Fannie and Freddie problems is? Is that not news? Or is Palin now off limits?

Obama is too freely with his vocabulary. I am not at the least impressed with him. I do have to tip my hat to him he had good judgement in picking biden. Hats off to him for not putting a Clinton on his ticket. People in this country are sick of the Clinton's. Hillary is the biggest liar in this country.

JUST SAY NO TO:

McCain/Female '08

I read comments about Palin that make no sense. One comment states that Palin has a surplus. Yeah, from LAST years budget, enacted by Gov. Frank Murkowski. You Republican sycophants make me sick.

Let's stick to the issues, shall we? Republicans have been in control for 8 years, the country is a mess, the debt is skyrocketing, we have an illegimate wor in Iraq. Why don't we elect another set of Republicans and see how much further we can go before we hit rock bottom? It never ceases to amaze me how some people think.

A successful Republican tactic is to simply repeat a lie over and over and over. People believe what they hear most. That is how we form our opinions. McCain repeats over and over that Obama will raise taxes. Republicans start chanting: "Tax-and-spend. Tax-and-spend. Tax-and-spend."

When Obama replies that he has no plans to raise taxes, McCain says "Obama will raise taxes." Republicans chant: "Tax-and-spend. Tax-and-spend. Tax-and-spend."

When Obama says he plans to lower taxes, McCain says, "Obama will raise your taxes." " Republicans chant: "Tax-and-spend. Tax-and-spend. Tax-and-spend."

Our less thougtful fellow citizens, who do not follow the campaign like we do, say "I like Obama, but I can't afford higher taxes, and he has said many times that he will raise our taxes."

It is a technique that has worked for them before. They are very good at it.

Tom in Delaware – McCain is the one who said she sold the plane on eBay for a profit.

Ted – Hillary Clinton said "the sky will open, the sun will shine down on you and you will know you should vote for me" when she was mocking Obama. As for voting to support the troops, Obama has always supported the troops. That doesn't mean he has to support the war.
I don't know what planet you've been visiting, but Obama has been talking about nothing but the issues. As usual, the McCain campaign only has time to talk about Obama.

JOHN, AND SARAH ARE BOTH THE SAME. A CLONE OF BUSH. THEY BOTH LIE. BOTH ARE COLD HEARTED, AND CANT BE TRUSTED. IF THEY ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THIS COUNTRY. SHE HAS ALL THOSE KIDS, AND A SICK CHILD, AND IT MADE HER COLD AND A SCHEMER OR THAT IS JUST HER CHARACTER. WHATEVER IT IS, I DONT LIKE HER CHARACTER.

The only ones lying are the democrats who ran and removed their own web page that stated that she was given credit for it.

Why did they change this?

Who is guilty of a "coverup" and lying? The demoncrats.

At this point, I doubt if any one who supports Mccain/palin really cares if they are liars. They obviously are blinded because to be for these two characters, they have already had to embrace fantasy justifications and shallow thinking.

Keep America Safe.

A salute from a black man and a former marine.

McCain Palin '08

obama presidency will be 4 yrs. of reverent wright, tony resko and ayers. can you say corrupt!

CSPAN actually ran the Alaska Gov. debate with Palin yesterday. Palin DEFINITELYy said she supported that bridge. Maybe dems should run a clip from that as an ad.. I just don't understand why they keep repeating that lie. I guess Obama was right......they're counting on us being stupid.

Sarah Palin makes me sick!

I dispise a lying woman...I didn't say a woman lying down fool!

She's running on a lot of hot air but watch out as we deflict her air bed.
Haven't we seen Obama come from 20pts down in pools to win the Dem nomination, why are people getting confused by this ugly big headed lying governor...

None of her stories is clear..everything's got some lies to it...
Get on America, get going with the issues, this is not time for a hot check!

lets also state the fact that she put the jet on EBay, however it remainied on Ebay and was actually sold to a business man way less than priced.

Another GOP antic thinking America is not paying attention.
Don't believe the hype.

This mom will not vote for her.

Watch Palin as she takes on the media. Palin loses. She cannot handle it.

A gay democrat for McCain/Palin '08

The access road that leads to the bridge to nowhere (ie, road to nowhere) was built using earmarked funding ($25M). This project continued construction, even after she supposedly "killed it".

Dirty politics works...we believe every ad the Republican's put out there. We deserve what we get.
OBAMA 2008!

I really don't understand why they would nip this so early. Let them put out their ad, then call them on the lie! Lete them wallow in their own words!!

I think it's a sad day when the polls are so close during an election like this.

Just Say No to the lair McBush and to the pitbull with lipstick!

Obama/Biden 08

Come on CNN- don't wait for Charlie Gibson to bring us Sarah (Spiro) Palin as the Repubs want us to view her. They won't vet her – it's time for you to step up and play her crazy Reverend as much as you played Rev. Wright 24/7. Do a peice on AIP! Show Wasilla's debt before and after she left office there. Follow the money. YOU have helped make her a celebrity – you better start showing her substance.

Mrs .Palin did the right thing and changed her mind about the bridge.

Obama did not support winning this current war in Iraq and wants to quit the war for political reasons. He also now says for political reasons that he wanted to join the US military after high school but there was not a war to fight at the time.

The smart people will vote for the person that changed her mind about a bridge and is running to serve and protect the USA!

If Sarah is so proud of "killing" the "bridge to nowhere," is she planning to kill the "road to nowhere"? There are still plans on the books and stakes in the ground for a 40-mile road that crosses 37 avalanche paths on its way to connect Juneau to a broad, silty glacial outwash. The road will NOT connect to any other existing road. What will maintenance cost? Those of us who live closest to the non-Juneau end of the road are largely opposed to its construction, preferring improvements to the ferry system, and even Juneau residents are split on the idea. Few people thought the bridge expense would be worth the money and no one but Governor Frank thought the jet was a good idea. All this "cleverness" and slam-dunk budget-cutting is highly overstated.

What,s with all the action on Sarah and nothing on Oboma.
He has a lot of baggage. Why don't the news Print it like not putting his hand oner his heart when the pledge is said. It's on the internet even a picture. Why isn't he put on TV. with all his dumb moves. It evens has a book out on him. Was he really born in America. These and more questions. Mclain really proved he was and loved America. I am a Dem. but going to vote for McClain and Sarah.

This is a lesson to kids all over this great land. "If you continue to lie or mis-lead the public they will eventually believe you". It's just a sad display of American politics.

Food for thought:The Truth is the Truth. Come On Politicans lets try to be if not completely then partially Honest and not make false statements or half truths. Question I have does McCain really have lobbyist and or special interest people behind the curtain giveing Him and Palin advice or aid in any way?Also is Carl Rove involved in any way in trying to help McCain get elected?And if so ,in what ways?And who is McCain and Palins Council, the one they ask for guidance?Or are they makeing there own decisions and writting there own speeches. Or just following orders and reading the speeches as they are given them? Promises for change form those who arent really going to bring change is just more of the same political game play as in previous campaign. Say you both are Mavericks for change and will have a biparition administration ,that should get you more votes. Tell them what they want to hear and promise them what they need and get there vote and once in the white house lock the door and dont worry about it for 3 years or so.Its plain to see the people behind the curtain keep coming up with ideas on how to hustle more votes even though they are probably just more of the same and will end up as broken promises like the last 8 years of the Republican Bush/Cheney administration in the White House. Lets vote the republicans out of the White House and let the Democrats have a go at bring the changes we the people need. Yes we need change and we can start with changeing who is in the White House.Republicans had the last 8 years and they failed its time for a change of who is resideing in the White House if you know what I mean. A clean sweep of the White House is what we need.A new Democrat President and Vice President and Democrat Administration and a Democrat Controlled Congress. I say they that combination will be able to get things changed for the American People for the better. If they dont We the People will Vote them out of Office on next election .Its just that simple. Lets keep it simple its really not that complicated you know.

Yeeee Hawwww! Now this is what I call a party! Everybody choose up sides and on the count of three pick up the nearest thing and bash someone from the other side over the head with it. Don't be squeemish about it. Klobber them good. Otherwise, on down the road, somebody might accuse you of sitting on your duff watching 'American Idol' and just thinking about yourself and being all cozy with your comfortable lifestyle.

I LOVE IT THOSE IN THE MEDIA AND THE RNC WENT OUT THERE AND MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT HOW OBAMA NEEDS TO STOP MAKING GOOD SPEECH AND TELL US WHAT HIS PLAN IS, THAT HE WAS ACTING AND HIS PEOPLE WERE TREATING HIM LIKE A ROCK STAR. WELL WELL WELL LOOK AT THE MEDIA AND THE REPUBLICANS TREATING PALIN THE SAME WAY.

The real Obama is showing. Ahh Desperate!!!

Substance over Hype.

McCain Palin '08

Everyone should vote for McCain. Does anyone really want to put Obama in as President with Russia helping Iran built nuclear power? If you do, then you need your head examined. Obama has been wrong on every foreign policy decision he has ever made. Obama said Iran was a little country. Obama has not a clue what he is doing.

HERE IN CA WHERE I AM FROM ARE LOOKING AT THESE TWO REPUBLICANS CAMPAIGN AND ASK OURSELVES, IF THEY ARE REALLY THAT DESPERATE TO GET IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT THEY WOULD TELL ONE LIE AFTER ANOTHER AND MAKE PROMISES THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF KEEPING TO GET THERE. THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN WAY. THESE ARE THE SAME PROMISES THAT BUSH MADE AND I DIDN'T FALL FOR IT BACK THEN EITHER.

PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR MINDS, WE HAVE HEARD ALL OF THIS BEFORE AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE. DON'T FALL FOR THE HYPE. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS AND WE DESERVE A PRESIDENT THAT WILL WORK FOR US AS IT HAS WITH EVERY DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WE HAVE HAD.

DON'T FALL FOR THE LIES. CONTROL YOUR OWN MINDS, DON'T BE BRAINWASHED. BECAUSE IF ITS THAT EASY, THEN I HAVE SOME SWAMPLAND IN THE EVERGLADES FOR SALE.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!

Tom-

Get your facts straight. McCain came out and said she sold the plane on eBay and made a profit.

Not the same as Palin saying it but it was for the same reason–more right wing pandering.

If politicians are going to lie about the smaller things, what will they be lying about when in the White House? Guess we can look to good ol' George for that answer.

Kind of like trying to take credit for apologizing after being caught in the wrong.

Ear-marks?? 50 million for a school run by a anit-american who was the group weathermam of 60's and 70's??? His wife got a hundred thousand pay raise by some of the ear-mark money from one of Obama's bill's? People don't air the dirty stuff for the whole world to laugh at the U.S.A. No mater who is in office we want the world to respect them.

If Obama only has $1B in earmarks in his plan, then he's TRILLIONS of dollars of improvement over Bush/McCain.

Spear and Fear that is what the republicans are doing, McCain said he wanted to run an above board campaign and instead he started mud slinging. I watched the RNC and that is what Palin did as well. LETS TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES PLAGUING THIS COUNTRY. I LISTEN TO ALL OF THE ISSUES AND THEN RESEARCH, I DO NOT RELY ON THE BIASES OF THE MEDIA. I AM AN INDEPENDENT THINKER AND VOTER. PEOPLE WHO ARE PARTY POLITICIANS ARE DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY, VOTE FOR THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB. NOT FOR THE PARTY. I AM GOING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT HE IS OFFERING MORE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. MCCAIN IS GOING TO GIVE US THE SAME.

Sounds like DESPERATION to me.

Go McCain, hit them harder!!!

Enough is enough. My country is tired of those repub shenanigans. We need to improve healthcare, education, housing, economy. Get out, Bush/McCain.
Obama all the way!!!!!!!

After reading all these comments. Now I know where all the Democrats get their news. : )

I think John McCain has made a hasty choice and we will all regret it. He seems to go for good looking women to the point it wrecked his first marriage. I would like to know if Sarah Palin would get so much attention if she was homely.????? Neither she or John are straight honest talkers. He is lying about Obama and there are tapes and recordings to prove it. Kate from Becker

the reason that there are 80 percent for Obama on here is obvious...they are the out of work democrats/liberals that want Obama elected so they can sponge off the hard working republicans some more...

I'm completely at my wits end. My following comment will not be about red or blue people. American people listen up. Currently OUR country is the laughing stock of the world. Our economy is GOING into recession. Inflation is ridiculous. Foreclosure is at an all time HIGH. Personally, I'm worried. I need to hear clearly laid out plans on how both parties intend on relieving my fears of inflation eating up my 401k. I need to know how my aging parents and aged grandparents will afford to pay for their prescriptions with the rising costs of healthcare, their electric bills, and put gas in their cars to go to the doctor. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION–must elect a president that has OUR best interest in mind. Americans please do not vote for a man or woman or a hockey mom, or a black person or a white person just because. You will be doing a great injustice to yourself and your country. Let's get back to the real issues.

TOO INFORMED to vote Republican!

Tell Senator McCain to check his facts. They have interviews and newspaper articles when she was running for Governor when she said she was for it. That has been confirmed. Also, it was killed in Congress before she killed it as Governor. It just shows that she isn't any different than any other politician. They will say anything to get elected. Haven't you noticed that McCain and Palin are not saying anything about the economy, healthcare or the Iraq war. He's going to win just because she is a woman. Could you tell a woman that has been raped that she has to have the child because Palin is an extreme conservative? WAKE UP!!

For the first time McCain/Palin are leading in every poll...

Bye Obama... that's what you get for your vicious attacks on women and children...

Go back to your criminal cronies in Chicago...

The truth is in the results–in the end–she was against it.
You know–kinda like the way Obama was O.K. with his pastor for 20 years–but once the public outcry reached a crescendo because of the numerous comments by Rev. Wright–he decided to leave the church and his pastor.

It's where the candidate's head is at now that counts.

Palin KEPT all that pork money. This is irrefutable. She is dishonest and hypocritical.

Of course it's a lie, just like 80% of the rest of his ads have been lies. Why? Because, with ex-Bush campaign aides on board, all you'll get are lies, just like in 2004! If it looks like a Bush and it stinks like a Bush, then it's JUST LIKE BUSH!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 AND '12!!!

republicans thats all they do is lie get rich and let the wealthy gets richer and the poor gets poorer.

Obama = inexperience
+
Biden = more of the same Washington fat cat
=
Country 2nd and moving backward

McCain/Palin '08

Republicans: The Audacity of Lying

Gof forbid McCain and Palin get anywhere near the White House!

Obama/Biden in 2008!

Wow mccain camp is quick, they pulled that page down with bridge no where ..already... admitting to the lie? great...

To s.a.m. in virginia – you are so RIGHT – that is all bo and his campain do – lie – lie -lie. Except maybe yesterday on Geo. Step. show when he said "My muslem faith"

Instead of body armor, American soldiers should just strap Republicans to their chests, because they will deflect everything.

Palin supported the bridge then when she saw which way the wind was blowing she was against it. She kept the money. She's not stupid.
She has received and spent earmarks but I am sure it was distasteful.
Masters of the half truths and outright lies.
As Goebbels proved, if you repeat the lie often enough it becomes the truth.

Do we expect anything less from a McCain campaign? Isn't funny how Barack Obama is not experienced enough to be President but Palin is experienced enough to be a heartbeat away from a 72 year old presidential heart. Then we hear that Palin is qualified because she has been an executive; however, that makes John McCain unqualified.
We need a President with a vision to help our country. We need Obama.

Is CNN connected with the democrat party? I'm just wondering because all you ever see negitive articals about Rep. and never the Dems. It's the same with the comments.

Hmm...like Obama hasn't changed his mind on issues and flip-flop from time to time. I have to laugh at all of this- Nobama for this mama!!

Your listening skills are lacking. Palin said she "put the plane on eBay."
She did that. No buyers on eBay for the plane, but she did sell it.

CNN is there a rule out there that says you cant say that Palin LIED. She lied to voters in her very first speech to the nation. Can you say that. Can you rename the article "SARAH PALIN LIED ABOUT THE BRIDGE TO NO WHERE"?

She lied. She said she was against it when she was really for it. When it get shut down she took the money anyways. She LIED. Do you have the cojones to say that? That she lied to us? That her whole maverick image is a big fat lie.

Sarah is a women! Of course she's a liar!!

Alaska gets more earmarked pork per head than any state in the nation. "Maverick reformer"? Please.

"The Alaska Democratic Party has removed a Web page that credited Palin for killing the Bridge to Nowhere project."

Funny..how history gets changed when Obama is threatened.. Lol. This is rich. The Democratic party is in Emergency Mode!!!!! CODE RED, CODE RED!

Let's be honest, neither side has clean hands here – not Obama and not McCain. It is easy to attack McCain on this one, but Obama is no saint either. This is not ideological.

Obama told a leftist organization that he would cut tens of billions of dollars in defense spending, including missile defense. He then turns around and tells reporters that he will increase the size of the U.S. military. It is inconsistent. He clearly says whatever he needs to say depending on who the audience is.

McCain does the same thing.

All politicians – from the village mayor all the way up to Pennsylvania Avenue – play games with the truth every day. It is the nature of the game.

Once again the Republicants and McPander are telling mis-truths.
John McCain should now be known as JOHN McSHAME!
Blinded by nothing but ambition John, you are willing to do whatever you have to in order to put "ME (JOHN McCAIN FIRST", INSTEAD OF "COUNTRY FIRST." By pandering to the extreme right is something you ought not do, particularly if you had any sense of dignity and self-respect and TRUE love of country.

Democrats do NOT sacrifice their principles. We hold TRUE to them and will FIGHT to GET OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!

These lies remind me of how insistant they are about drilling everywhere. Course, they leave out the fact that any oil we get would bought out by the Chinese and Indians on the market and in the end it'll only lower gas at the station by a few pennies. "Drill now" indeed.

I say we open up off shore drilling but say that if gas prices don't go down to less than $3 per gallon in 5 years we take it back.

According to the fact check, Sarah Palin statement is not accurate. That's another lie from the Republican Campaign. Everyone who whatch the fact check about her speech last week know very well that this is a lie.

McCain is going to win in November, because he truly loves this country and will put the country first. Unlike Obama, who is running for his ego. Have you seen that silly Obama "presidential" seal? And the hilarious styrofoam Greek columns? Obama the demi-god. And the majority of Americans are not left-wing lunatics like the Code Pink freaks who interrupted McCain's speech at the convention. Thank you, Code Pink! What with the American flags tossed into trash bags from the Obama rally & the loonies from CP, Obama's cronies have done a great job reinforcing what a bunch of anti-American nutjobs the Democratic party has become. Not to mention the clear misogyny coming out of Obama's campaign, directed against both Hillary Clinton & Sarah Palin. Women still think the Democratic party respects them? Well, I know MANY life-long Dems who are jumping ship and voting McCain this year, since they don't even recognize their old party.

She didn’t say “no thanks” to the “Bridge to Nowhere” until after Congress had already abandoned it, and she kept the $223 million in taxpayers’ money anyway. Far from rejecting federal pork, she hired lobbyists to secure her town a disproportionate share of earmarks ($1,000 per resident in 2002, 20 times the per capita average in other states).

Yup, this real change all right. Palin is a federal welfare queen.

of course they're lies...what else can the republican say? if ont lies?

Palin is a liar in the tradition of George W. Bush and the entire Republican party. Give her credit for being a political opportunist and fooling the people of Alaska, but don't confuse anything she says with the truth.

Every one of McCain's ads, and every stump speech has some element of untruthfulness to it. Sometimes the falsehoods are totally blatant. I guess they are banking on the fact that the U.S. is totally stupid. And sometimes, I wonder. McCain cries and whines about everything, then when Obama says one thing they call it hysterical. If it weren't for lies, adjective and adverbs, McCain wouldn't have much to say.

Palin is an all out Distraction ! I am not voting for her or Biden, I am Voting for McCain or Obama. And if McCain wants my vote he needs to prove he is a leader and NOT his Distracting RUNNING MATE! SOMEONE PLEASE bring back the REAL ISSUES! This elections is impotent!

Everyone needs to calm down about these polls. They are manipulated by the media to keep the race close so that people watch the news. . . .

Obama/Biden '08

At CNN anything a Republican says is a lie ! Needs to be some house cleaning like at MSNBC!

Palin is a liar and could not organize a 2 man race to a one seat toilet in my opinion.

Republicans doing what they do best...........LIE.

Never ,no way, no how ,aint happening ,no McCain.

Obama / Biden 08 thru 2016

Man! Reading a majoity of the anti-McCain posts on this site tells me McCain should keep on doing what hes doing now. The whine is incredible!! Guess he's got the Messiah and his smug socialist minions very,very nervous. NO OBAMA '08

Why doesn't the media hold McCain and Palin accountable for their lies? Factcheck.org and PolitiFact.com have been pointing them out since Steve Schmidt started pulling the strings. I guess if you want to spend the money on ads, it doesn't matter if what you say is true or not.

Vote on issues

Good luck to both McCain and Palin! Obama and Biden haven't even started, and getting to know Palin is a little late in the game.
Polls are even, but unless the GOP hacks into the voting booth's data, then Obama will win against McCain.

This lie isn't surprising. The Republicans actually have the nerve to say with a straight face that electing a Democrat will cause rising deficits when it 's a known fact that Georgie Bush increased the deficit to record levels after it was nearly zero when Clinton left office.

McCain's "increasing deficits" ad is a blatant lie.

Both McCain & Palin are liars and I hope the American people see that their vision of "change" will not help our country!

Can someone explain to me how CNN allows people to come on here and spout untrue responses but when someone posts actual quotes and sources they don't get posted.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Look, To all the uninform people of the U.S.A ask yourself as this woman really answer any real question why do she hang on to Mccain hip like a belt. She will not talk to the press by herself, and if I may point out the word sexism has the press running away from her. I don't get it we didn't
question bush at all and went with the flow. So, i guess we are going to follow the same path. The press won't do their job an people want to fall for the same old same old again (funny).
Is this most people (white America) reason not to vote for the right person.
Sometimes it makes my wonder how silly people are, Obama has been crying out to us about what he is about for awhile now the press has been all over him...........but they are so scared of being called sexist that the are not doing their job. (WOW what a surpise) I think this is a joke she is a joke and for Mccain tryin to pull this off he is a joke. But for the American people to know this an let this happen then we as a nation are a joke..................Well to end this comment I have only to say this if we didn't learn anything from bush then we are a nation doom to repeat the same old same an i feel that this time we will get just what we didn't want to get because we let them do it again to us because we voted them in again......................

Haven't the last eight years taught you anything? Republicans never, ever tell the truth.

Why isn't CNN doing honest reporting on this, instead of just repeating each side's claims? The facts are clear: She sought the "bridge to nowhere." She campaigned on it. She kept the money.

Average Americans don't believe that the Earth was created 7000 years ago; We don't ignore overwhelming scientific proof about global warming; We don't support Jews For Jesus; We don't support states seceding from the country; We don't support eminent domain; We don't support banning books; We don't support using political power for personal gain (Troopergate); We do support abortion in the case of rape or incest; We do support sexual education that deals with pre-marital sex, STDs and contraceptives

Palin should not be allowed anywhere near the White House!
She is an extreme religious fundalmentalist.
She lied about a major corruption foe (she accepted campaign contributions in the same fundraising scheme at the center of a public corruption scandal that led to the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens). She lied about being against earmarking (she requested $27 Million for tiny Wasilla – even McCain criticized her). She lied about her initial support for the Bridge to Nowhere (only reversing her opinion when it became politicially beneficial to do so). She does not support alternate energy sources. She is anti-environmental. She even lied about winning Miss Congeniality!

Extreme is an understatement.

So you really want a "Warrior For God" one heartbeat away from our nuclear arsenal? I thought unstable, belligerent religious extremists were our enemies…not our representatives.

The Bridge To Nowhere seems to be a fib told by Palin. Also, is her son, Track Palin, actually serving in Iraq or is he actually stationed in Ft. Wainwright, Alaska?

If McCain and Dick Cheney in a dress get elected to President and Vice President. Then they are going to lead this country "To the Bridge to Nowhere." Now you have Bush calling Palin "An Inspired Pick" I guess Bill Maher is right "This country is too stupid to be Governed" Thanks a lot stupid people!!!

the biggest point... As governor she still took the money that was meant for the bridge... she DID NOT send the money back. The size of the appropriation was also an issue here.

OMG!!!! She said she sold the Governors plane on EBAY to make a profit!! SHE LIED!!!! PALIN already caught in her pretentious ways and a blatent LIAR!!! She sold that in a private sale 8 months later...(not on EBAY) and she sold it for 600,000 dollars less than its value.
Lady you are a PIT BULL all right... they hurt people for no reason and time tells nothing of when or how they will do it. The lipstick is the only difference because you are a blood hound to ALL PEOPLE!

I cannot begin to understand why anyone would vote for mcCain. Unless of coarse you are rich, or a mindless idiot. People wake up mcCain is bush all over again, The whole thing of trying to seperating himself from the current administration is a joke. And OMG Sarah Palin for VP ARE YOU JOKING? Policies people who cares if she wears a skirt. Or sheeps clothing.

$1 says there are preconditions for the interview.

This forum is rediculous. The fact that 80% of the posts in this section are negative against Palin tell me one of two things:

1. People that vote democrat don't have jobs (dont foget to reply it's because of Bush...he is the one that made you lazy)

2. CNN readership is unquestionably dominated by democrats – makes me wonder why you like it so much...is it because it is biased????? (Answer is 'yes' if this was too hard for you)

Have fun collecting welfare and complaining about the "bad" economy. This bores me.
John

It is time that Obama and the Democrat's get of their behind and start fighting McCain. The Obama team has been a bunch of wimps when it comes to McCain.

Hey folks she not only was for it then against she kept the money for it. Let's wake up here stop the madness bury the GOP machine before there is no country left.

Sounds like the Democrats are running scared and will find anything to get some attention since they haven't had any since Palin came onboard. They need to accept the facts that they are going down in November.

It's just bait for Populous idiot.

Governor Palins mockery, sarcasm and lies will come back to haunt her.
What comes around goes around Governor.

The polls are completely misleading. Excluded from the sample are those with only a cell phone-anyone under 25. If you include the young who see their future mortgaged to pay for the war and tax cuts and a party that believes that "Drill Now" answers our energy challenges, you will see Obama carried into office.

John McCain is not the man of yesteryear – he is no longer a maverick and he no longer has the integrity he once had. He will lie, lie, lie to get what he wants, which is the oval office. This is putting America first? I think not. Where is the John McCain of 2000? Unfortunately, integrity is not a part-time or sometime thing, you either have it or you don't and it is apparent from all the lies that are coming out of the McCain/Palin campaign, that he no longer has it and his VP pick fits the campaign perfectly, as she will open her mouth and whatever is expedient will come pouring forth.

The bridge was killed but Alaska still kept the money. Alaska is one of the top ten states for receiving for federal funds – with one of the smallest populations.

This is not the first lie they have told. There are numerous ones. She said she put the government jet on sold it on ebay. Then John Mccain said that. LIE She was a member of the penocostal church a very ratical church until she ran for office. There are tapes of her preaching you need to look at that on utube. It will scare you. Women should take a long look at her and Mccain before they vote for them. He has said he will appoint very conservative judges. That will over turn roe v wade. There are two that are ready to retire and that would give the conservatives the votes needed to do so.

Before you vote be sure what you are voting for it is our children and grandchildrens world we are talking about.

I welcome the look into Palin's conservative religious background – maybe a closer look into Obama's religious background will be revisited. I'll take an evangelical background over a liberal, black liberation background anyday!!

Obama and Biden you better go after McCain and Palin, forget that Palin is a woman and take her on. Make sure she explains exactly what executive experience as Governor qualifies her to occupy the White House.

Tell her to go hunting in Alaska for her moose burgers and be sure to give the moose a gun so that the hunt will be fair.

Moose against Palin...................

McCain/Palin all the way!

A mother with no morals, no values, and one willing to use her children, from youngest to oldest to further her own political career.....

A woman who will allow herself to be used by the men and women of her party to acheived their agenda....

A very poor example of a human being.

I agree with you Mile-High, just shows the Audacity of Hope being displayed from Obama supporters, and i'm a black male. The agent of change receives a VP who's been a part of Washington establishment 10 years longer than McCain.
Vote McCain

CARIBOU BARBIE should go on an open ended talk show and just answer this question. I would like to hear what she has to say. Was she open to the idea before she was against it?

ITS NOT FLIP FLOPPING AMERICANS ITS CALLED "FLAT OUT LIES" THERE ARE SO MANY OF HER CAMPAIGN VIDEOS I HOPE THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN AIRS THEM...WHERE SHE GAVE HER SUPPORT AS A DEVELOPMENT TO ALASKA....SHE SUPPORTED IT EVEN AS GOVT UNTILL STEVENS FAILS TO IMPRESS THE BEM CONTROLLED SENATE WHY ITS A GOOD PROJECT.

PALIN MORE OF THE SAME CLAIM CREDIT AFTER INITIAL SUPPORT

If Alaska is taking their ad that said she opposed the Road to Nowhere off the air, they apparently don't want to look like fools.

Palin (the lady with the Rosanne Barr voice)

This has nothing to do with the ad, but many bloggers are calling this the Palin-McCain ticket, so this morning there are surrogates making sure that we know that McCain is calling the shots. I find this extremely funny – must be a little uncertainty as to who is the more appealing person – "The I will use her to help me, but if she gets too big, I will have to cut her back fear."

The reason this makes me chuckle is because I never saw him as a strong leader anyway. And a lady with barely any experience at all can look more presidential than he does??????

I HOPE THAT WE AMERICANS DONOT COMPLAIN FOUR YEARS FROM NOW WHEN MCAINE AND HIS BARBIE RUNNING MATE ATTACK IRAN,FOR THE SAME STUPID REASON .LIKE BUSH.GET US HERE TO PAY FOR IT,BRAIN WASH AMERICANS.I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT AMERICANS AS A WHOLE ARE VERY UNINFORMED,AND REPUBLICANS USE THAT IGNORANCE TO THEIR ADVANTAGE. WE MUST ALL PRAY THAT MCAIN STAYS ALLERT AND HEALTHY FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

Can you imagine a world where President John McCain heaven forbid has a health issue and Palin the well known experienced leader has to step in for him.
Her frame of reference for everything would be "But in Alaska..."

I am not a genius America but I am smart enough to know that GW was not the best choice for America. And Palin has even less global experience and even less United States experience than GW.

Vote Smart in 08!
Don't let the world saying around the world be "Fool me once shame on You, Fool me Twice shame on Me, Fool me three times I must be an American"
God Bless America

Hey OBots, whatever happened to "OBama reviewed the situation and thought about it and then made OMG the best decision Eva" .....its the same situation, she supported it, then realized that it was not worth the money and then opposed it! How is this any different from O' changing his stance after "review".

You OBots are funny!

Lies and the lying liars who tell them.

“Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie that Sarah Palin stopped the Bridge to Nowhere,"

Like Goebbels said if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it's true.

So explain this to me (I heard this on TV)

I need to vote Republican because the Republicans running for office now are the only ones that can fix the mess that the Republicans in office now made.

Mike Huckabee couldn't answer this. Although I'm undecided, it kind of makes me wonder if I want more of the same?

Palin yesterday said that Freddie Mac and Fannie May have "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." You would think a Vice Presidential candidate would know that these are private companies. Does she know anything about the economy?

Governor Palin was a primary factor in eliminating the wasteful spending for "the bridge to nowhere". Please quit trying to make her out to be someone she is not because of your fear. We in Alaska know what she has done and who is really lying.

She should put the bribge to nowhere on e-bay sell it and make a profit. Like she did with the jet. What else she has done ? OBAMA 08/ 12

Listen up everyone! SARAH PALIN is a stubborn, self righteous, pretentious woman who is thriving to receive every bit of the press that she can and to go as high as she can. In an interview with the press in June before she was chosen she stated that she would prefer to stay right there in Alaska rather than become a VP. Why would she change her mind? Or actually, she did not want to admit then, that she would take it but thought they probably would not pick her.
In any case, she is a liar, deceiver and is trying to be presented on the top of the ticket compared to OBAMA... She took the VP position to boost herself to fame, hoping she can become the next President to run the world.... and after that... control every womans choice and decision so they are not able to make a choice. This women is much like Margarat Thatcher in Europe. She will have her way or no way and will step on top of anyone to get it.
The difference between her and OBAMA is ... he REALLY CARES about the people... being a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER... when he could have went to Wall street to make it for himself.... she CARES NOTHING about anyone except herself!!! MAN... get that PITBULL muzzled up and tie her up before she chomps down any one that she can smell that has blood.... which means (we the people)!!!

I think the democrats are running scred now after selecting Obama as their presidential candidate. We keep hearing that Palin is not experienced enough to be the candidate who is just a heartbeat away from the presidency. Bu the democrats selected a candidate who is the heartbeat of the presidency without any experience. Tell me, where is the irony here? Should the country not be more afraid of having a president with no experience and not be worried about the VP who is not experienced. I would definitely want the person at the top of the ticket to be the experienced candidate and the second in command can learn on the job and not the other way around. Obama does not have the experience whereas McCain does so who is the more qualified candidate for the job. I think you democrats have it the wrong way around. You had an experienced candidate in Hillary Clinton and you blew it and put the inexperienced candidate as your choice so that you can make history to have the first black american to be voted in as president. Well, you have made your bed, now lie in it and watch the republicans beat you in November.

I think Both Mccain an his VP are disgrace to the american people, they ought to be brought down on their knees. Sarah cut aid for the special needs program in Alasks and now she has a child with special needs. Is she going to do that to the rest of the country. Boy John is at his glory now having this beautiful woman at his side for the next 50 days. Cindy better keep a tight grip on John Boy. Who wants 4 more years of Bush and another president in the white house who committed adultry. Cant see why all the religious people are turning for him, seems like the dont know the ten commandments very well.

Yes she was for it will she was running for Governor and then changed her mind. What is not being said is that she still took the ,money and used it in other areas. Is that legal?

Also, no one is talking about McCain's funny little talk about those bears that were studied. He makes fun but he voted for it and not against it.

Lies after lies. So America, when you see these two open their mouths, understand that it is just another lie. Wake up and do your fact checking before you go to the polls in November.

I'm beginning to think the McCain Campaign is smoking an illegal substance.

Are Americans really this stupid? A report out today said that the majority of 8th graders in Washington DC can't read? Is "Brave New World" actually happening? Keep people stupid and scare them and we can control them. How can the polls possibly be right? Do half the people in the US really want a religiously dictated military industrial complex?

I always thought there was no one worse than Bush, turns out I was wrong.

Same old stuff from the Republican Party. They have been putting up false ads since this race started. The sad part is most Americans do not take the time to check the facts.

The worst part of Palin's claim to have stopped the bridge is that she never admits that she kept the money.

But CNN and other news outlets need to step up and state the facts instead of saying Obama's supporters are making these claims and McCain's spokesman claims Obama's campaign is being hysterical.

Tell the people the truth and the whole truth, and stop acting as though this is all conjecture. No one is asking you to slant the news in favor of any one candidate, but the impact of treating lies the same as the truth is in fact slanting the news in favor of the liars. And it is major disservice to the nation.

Yes, yes, more lies from the GOP. I think it's great that we're all in agreement here, but CNN is a left wing news site so it's no real surprise. Everyone has such great comments to make and I feel like they would make more of a difference if they were written on a right wing site like foxnews.com. The folks who read that propaganda need to get their facts straight – and they could also use some help with spelling!! I'm going to be leaving my comments there from now on in my quest to get Obama elected! It's true that such an amazing candidate only comes around once in a lifetime and I have to believe that Americans are smart enough to vote for the right man.

Hey Dems – keep drinking the kool aid and watch what happens to this country if Obama is elected. More jobs go overseas, more small business go under and more social programs to help those who refuse to help themselves.

Come on CNN! Stop carrying water for the McPalin ticket and post my comments.

McCain even went after Palin for HER earmarks. From the LA Times.

This year, Palin, who has been governor for nearly 22 months, defended earmarking as a vital part of the legislative system. "The federal budget, in its various manifestations, is incredibly important to us, and congressional earmarks are one aspect of this relationship," she wrote in a newspaper column.

In 2001, McCain's list of spending that had been approved without the normal budget scrutiny included a $500,000 earmark for a public transportation project in Wasilla. The Arizona senator targeted $1 million in a 2002 spending bill for an emergency communications center in town — one that local law enforcement has said is redundant and creates confusion.

McCain also criticized $450,000 set aside for an agricultural processing facility in Wasilla that was requested during Palin's tenure as mayor and cleared Congress soon after she left office in 2002. The funding was provided to help direct locally grown produce to schools, prisons and other government institutions, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan watchdog group.

Wasilla received $11.9 million in earmarks from 2000 to 2003. The results of this spending are very apparent today. (The town also benefited from $15 million in federal funds to promote regional rail transportation.)

The community transit center is a landmark: a one-story, tile-fronted building with a drive-through garage. Its fleet of 10 buses provides service throughout the region. Mat-Su Community Transit Agency officials say the building was made possible with a combination of federal money and matching gifts from a private foundation.

Taylor Griffin, a McCain campaign spokesman, said that when Palin became mayor in 1996, "she faced a system that was broken. Small towns like Wasilla in Alaska depended on earmarks to take care of basic needs. . . . That was something that Gov. Palin was alarmed about and was one of the formative experiences that led her toward the reform-oriented stance that she has taken as her career has progressed."

As far as I am concerned Palin gives pitt bulls, lipstick and baracuda's a bad name. I thought it apalling she would be plopped on stage for her first national appearance and come out so vile and mocking. If nothing else, all of the candidates who've actually been wrung through the wringer for the last 2 years deserve more respect. It was totally vile. I was independent, because I know how much spin goes on, I want to hear more on issues. I can tell you as an independent voter, I found it difficult to stomach her tone and that crowd laughing. Neither part gets credibility from voters like me when that is their tactic. She moved me closer to the dems with that show. I want to hear more, but accepting a speech writers direction or not, that was a very bad call on teh republicans to gain voters like me.

The Presidental election is going to be all about, race, gender and age.......nothing original nor maverick about that.

If McCain and Palin are lying now...what will it be like if they are elected? Scary. Vote OBAMA.

She was for it before she was against it...... Sounds a little bit like what the Repukelicans used against John Kerry and the war (He was against it and then for it). They love to twist things to their advantage and as long as they keep hammering it into peoples' heads, the lemmings and dimwitted will believe it

"Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie"

- just like they continue to repeat using the same music in which five artists have told them not too. (I know there are many more examples of lying but this one irks me especially.)

Do you really think they care at this point whether they are lying to you or not? Their number one goal is to keep the White House. That's it and they'll do whatever to whoever and not look back.

And what's with MSM all of a sudden? Now you're going to pander to McCain because the big bosses are losing big money from republican investors. Sorry, but KO and CM are the only two journalists that have ever come close to speaking for me. It's about time too. I for one have been quiet to long. If they don't cover the rest of the election, I will be watching CSPAN, and I encourage others to do the same.

Obama is in over his head and is now seeking te help of the Clintons.
He's a hypocrite who only stands for change when it helps his own career. Hillary should be thankful she's not on this losing ticket.
btw, i'm voting for the top of the ticket, so keep attacking Palin, it only helps Republicans when you do.
Remember he was 'present' 130 times, he's indecisive and inexperienced and he reaks of it.

There is a simple way to determine people's support for McCain, either they are uninformed and believe what is being spoonfed, or the ultra rich who want the "conservative" tax loophole. Republicans spend before they consider where the money is coming from, then dare to accuse the Dems of pork barrelling? How much on the Iraq war now? If you are paying attention, we are starting to really burn our bridges to the citezens in Afganistan for getting caught in the fray.

* So when Obama said "the sky will open, the sun will shine down on you and you will know you should vote for me"... that's not a blatant LIE and a God-like remark?

* What about the fact that Obama said he won his Chicago election... when in reality he got everyone else kicked off the ballot in a very dirty political trick. Wasn't that a LIE?

* What about Obama saying he was "against the war in Iraq" when he was running against Clinton but once he was the nominee he said the "surge worked and I'm glad I voted to support our troops". Another LIE?

Obama and the Democrats are running a campaign that looks like a party that is scared of losing.

They haven't talked about the issues since Palin's speech at the RNC.

The sad thing is that we've now been presented with two different stories and most people will just pick one rather than actually try to research it themselves.

90210 '08

If Obama hadn't been so arrogant, he would've chose Hillary as his VP, and McCain wouldn't even have chosing Palin. He has no one but himself to blame, and I commend McCain on his selection, it showed great judgement.

Why is CNN staying hands-off about this issue? It looks like the evidence is in, and the Republicans made a false claim. Saying "Obama claims..." makes it easier for the Republicans to deny it. If the evidence is there, report it!!

The thought of Obama as our leader frightens me. He so weak as a leader I can imagine how Putin, Chavez and others will push him around. Putin will probably have him cleaning his house. What a joke for President.

We get what we vote for. If you liked the last 8 years vote McCain and get 4 more. Rich get richer...heck, enough will never be enough!$!$!$$!!

T he biggest thing that I think Americans are missing and that is really scarey is that religion is becoming a part of politics...what happened to separation of religion and polictics..if McSame gets in this country is going to go back to Puritan days...they will tell us what we can and cant do with our bodies..what we can read...heck talk about socialism at it s best...so you dumb people...wake up and see what is happening...

All you little Drama Queens are going to be disappointed when Sarah Palin answers these questions with Charlie Gibson on Thursday night.

The Children of the Corn will jump at anything that is unseemly and turn it into 'undisputible fact'.

To wit: On the governors plane..."I put it up on e-bay"

The universal translators (ears to the rest of us) of the Liberal Left heard..."I SOLD it on e-bay for a profit."

You guys crack me up...you're the best weapon the Republican Party's got...don't change a thing.

The Republican Party should be called The Pinocchio Party. If this weren't such a perilous time in our nation's history, it would be almost comical.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Do a little research (factcheck.org). The FACTS speak for themselves.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

From the Republicans to the Media they're continuing to play these dirty little cunning games they use fear to control the world in all that it does and to get the people to question the truth and look at thing the way they want them to. McCain and Palin will get the rewards of manipulation and lies. I'm not worried and I'm not afraid they must be polling those old folk while the young folk are work, attending school, and preparing ourselves to take over this crooked and perverted world they are handing down to us. All I have to say is wait and see who wins this election people who are voting for Obama don’t play those stupid manipulating game we are higher than that.

Liar Liar Liar

Who are they polling???? If you read these comments.... they are 80% for Obama....
I have never been polled nor do I know anyone who has. Have any of you been polled??

When you write a negative article about a candidate, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use quotes from the candidates themselves rather than their "campaign spokesman(woman). How the heck do you expect us to know what's on McCain's mind or Obama's mind if we have to hear it from a bunch of guys who earn their bread running the campaigns of the latter, and would tell us the sky if falling if they had to..............this is NOT news, guys.

She is a liar. And I cannot believe some of the American people are actually believing it. The whole republican convention was a week of who could tell the biggest line of BS. And I find it amusing how they jump on the "CHANGE" bandwagon. Its almost like follow the leader. I can't wait til she debates Joe Biden. He'll eat her alive!!!! LOLOL

You probably wont publish this one, like in the past, but I'll try anyway.
Wasn't Obama against NAFTA before he was in favour, once he got the Dem. nomination?
Just asking; I mean, if you want to talk about lying, then let's be fair.

McCain is such an old hypocrite, I was feeling bad in 2000 when Bush and Karl Rove as well as the Republican Party played dirty to silent him. Today McCain is playing the very same dirty games against Obama. McCain lies here and there, tell half truth here and there, accuse Obama of being a celebrity and I wonder what he calls Palin? Now McCain, the old snake wants us to believe that if he is elected, then he will be different from Bush? No McSenile!

Alaska spent every penny of the Bridge to Nowhere money, while collecting no state income tax AND doling out checks to every Alaskan.

Palin _enjoys_ lying. Palin is having a ball seeing whether she can sucker all of America. Palin thinks it's all a great big joke.

3AM phone call anyone?

what the people of america don't understand is that mccain is very good at something!

The republicans believe that if you continue to run this fabricated political ad that republicans will believe the propaganda. They're right, most people don't follow the campaign in detail, and some are simply to simple minded to follow the trail of BS to the McCain/Palin camp. Lets hope that Americans are smart enough to see that McCain is not presidential worthy, he has a below average intellect. Just like Bush....a D- academic, that's scary because we already have an example of a below average student in Bush.

Haven't the Dems learned anything over the last 8 years, It's time to take off the gloves and fight back or we are going to lose again.

When the voters pick thru their trash talk, they will make sure McCain and Palin are on the Bridge to Nowhere.

Palin has been full of lies and half truths, yet so many people believe her and like her. Because she has a family and she is tough? That's all we know about her, other than her continous lapses of reality.

Check her bridge to nowhere. (MEDIA PLEASE BRING ALL YOU KNOW to be FACT about her, Out in the OPEN so the American People can decide if they like her after they learn about her.) CNN is at least trying to bring to light some of the her history and beliefs. I watched FOX last night and Geraldo had three pro McCain guests on. When one of them started repeating Palin lies and half truths, he did not call her on them. Just accepted them as truth. This woman is trouble for the country and it concerns me greatly ,that this person could very well be headed to the White House and possibly sitting in the #1 chair. If your not concerned about the future of this country, under this person, I am asking you to learn all you can about her on your own if possible. I am a retired U.S. Naval Officer, and from what I know so far I truely fear for the U.S. under Palin/McCain rule.

CNN keep going , your country needs you more than ever. CNN's Betty, Rick, and others keep digging and THANK YOU!

I am not asking you to do anything other than find the truth and tell America.

Palin is a liar, hypocrite, and a typical two-faced republican who will say or do ANYTHING, even use her own children to get what she wants.

Anyone who stands in this woman's way is expendable as far as she is concerned. I look forward to the hard questions that will come at her from the media and during the debates when she is she is asked to explain them.

This woman is the epitome of greed, arrogance and selfishness and it is mind-boggling to read what women across the country, who plan to vote for she and McCain say.

A vast majority of women in this country are like a "Stepford Wife". Easily fooled, easily led and one issue oriented. To hell with their familes, friends, country as long as they get what they want.

There isn't enough Kool-Aid on the planet to quench the thirst of these mindless women. McCain picked her for two reasons ONLY. Becaue he think the women who are still bitter about Hillary will flock to him, giving women of this country absolutely no credit for having a brain of their own (whcih apepaers to be the case in alrge numbers), and to try and get the undecides, as well as a bunch of horny old men.

Pathetic!! Take McCain and Obama out fo the equation and ask yourselves, "Who would you rather have negotiating with insane world leaders like the presidents of Iran, China, North Korea, etc.?", "Biden who has years of Foreign Policy experience and experience negotiating with these crazed deictators, or Palin who has NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE at all and has never met with ANY world leader in her lfie?"

Nice to know so many people put their familes, friends, communities and the country ahead of their own personal biases. As long as she wears a skirt that is good enough for them.

It just proves what I have always said, "Never understimate the stupidity of the American people."

Palins position against the bridge is NOT A LIE! How can anyone know what is in the heart of a person? I believe that she may have been in-different to this bridge proposal at first and had no real involvement since the proponents of this project is at the Federal level. Then later on, after carefully thinking about it further, she opposed it. This same situation can be applied to Obama with his position on Georgia and Russia. He changed his position three times probably because he thought about this issue further after discussing it with his 300 advisors. The bottom line is that the bridge to nowhere was not built and Palin ultimately went against it. THE END RESULT DOES MATTER PERHAPS MORE THAN WHAT WENT ON IN-BETWEEN!

The Republicans are very effective in making lies and half truths appear to flow from the lips of God.

The definition of chutzpah is to convince the voters that only the Republican party can clean up the mess made by the Republican party.

Fool me once....shame on you.
fool me twice...shame on me.
Fool me three times ... God help us all.

Same old republican lies; lies and more lies. Dems better step up to the plate and start playing hardball -

if mccain is so opposed to earmarks, and will veto every bill with them as president, then why didn't he vote against every bill with them as a senator?

was she under sniper fire?

Not only did she SUPPORT the bridge, she kept the money even though the bridge was never built.
That is the weirdest version of "thanks but no thanks" I have ever heard.
This woman is scary. She prays for pipelines to be built.
Thinks the war in Iraq is gods mission and thinks ALaska will be the refuge when the end of the world comes.
This person is our potential VP?????

I wish McCain/Palin all the success in obtaining the Oval Office.

Hillary2012

All I have to say is, "It takes one to know one." Mr. Obama has been telling blatant lies to the American public for over a year. I think he should look to himself before making accusations about others.

The Republican is still lying. All McCain got going for him is the POW. It's has even played out. The Republican love to talk about WAR. That's all they have. They care only about the Rich people. I hope America don't fall for this trick the media,and McCain is pulling. Palin were pick only because no one can go after her. It time for Michelle Obama,or Jill Biden to go after her. BUSH,and MCCAIN are the same. They love War,and the Rich. The GOP convention were so boring. Why is the media making this convention like it were so much. Nobody watch it. Then last but not least if I see the Uncle Tom back on CNN talking about what McCain will do for America. Have Amy Holmes, Tara Wall, Armstrong Williams, Rice, Watts, and Elders forgot where they can from. The Republican party is not the party that Linocln started. I know Abe is turning in his grave to see what this party has become. A party for the Rich, Whites,and 10 token Black who want to be White.

Sounds to me like the Democrats are really starting to get desperate, why take down the website about the bridge if what they are saying is true about Palin. Put the site back up and let us all read what you had to say. The truth never hurt anyone if it is the truth. Put up or shut up is about all anyone can ask,.,,

Can't any candidate give us some details on their ideas instead of talking about the others. We want the details so we have time to decide on a President. Maybe we should start a campaign and write in some avg. Joe that can actually relate to the average american. GIVE US DETAILS, NO MORE LIES OR NEGATIVITY.

good to know that someone just comment.....Obama never show or any comment what he did duing senate and what did he vote for? what is his make the law.... none.

NOBAMA 08!

Not only did Palin flip-flop on the bridge, but apparently she kept the money that the Federal Govt gave Alaska to build it. She also has had a large amount of ear marks for her state as well and hired lobbyist to get them.

When Obama was state legislator he didn’t attempt to vote
But he keep on saying Mc Cain 95% time voted for Bush

Obama changed his religion
When its comes to faith Obama Zero

Give us break

Hillary 2012
Mc Cain / Plain 2008

McCain voted 90% with Bush, McCain has lobbyist running his campaign, through the Karl Rove and Bush push. People are excited about the woman Gov. this is a trick to blurr folks because she is a woman. McCain is no maverick, his was forced to pick Gov. Palin, that's no maverick. McCain is putting self, country last. His commercial ad is a joke and I agree a pack of stories with no substance.

You can't trust a word...her hubby has 2 DUI's on his record. Hubby also wanted Alaska to seceed from the Union. Seventeen year old daughter is pregnant....what more could we want?.. a hockey Mom with a snow mobile champion for a husband. great qualifications!

Wow...If this makes Governor Palin a "liar" then the Mile-Hi surrmon on the mount made Senator Obama Jesus Christ incarnate. Your argument that she is unqualified is laughable, your smear or her and her family didn't make her cry on national television and now the best you can come up with is this hair-splitting. Thanks, I've made up my mind. McCain is getting my vote.

Looks like the Killa From Wasilla is at it again. The Republicans will lie about anything to get into office. Good thing that Obama finally called them out on it. And speaking of earmarks, I hope Obama will bring up the Keating 5. John McCain's got quite a history with lobbyists, not to mention the fact that he's got about 200 of them in his campaign. Why doesn't Obama say this? Come on, the stakes are too high to play nice! Palin is a lying scumbag and the media is being BIASED in not reporting the FACTS about this moose-hunting oaf. Dare you to post this, CNN. Can't wait to hear what the hypocritical "maverick" republicans are going to lie about next. OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!

why doesn't the obama campaign just pull "quotes" from Palin regarding this issue and have her answer them with Charles Gibson later this week?

it is so frustrating that the Republicans want to just lie and lie and lie again thinking we'll finally fall for it.

Obama has to hit hard and stop playing defense...they knew she lied about her bridge to nowhere stance, they should have come out firing right away!!!!!

We live in very strange times when things like this are happening:

When Sarah Palin gave her speech of (sound bites & non specifics & LIES), she put down about 50+ million American Community Organizers around this country, who are your everyday people who don't get PAID to work to better the lives of those around them. Community Organizers are on the streets, day to day helping out with programs like, Neighborhood Watch, MADD, Boys & Girls Clubs, After School Programs, Special Needs Programs for the Deaf, Blind, Handicapped, Veterans Rights Organizers, Women & Children Victims Of Domestic Violence, D. A. R. E. to keep kids off of drugs, Senior Centers, Workers Rights Organizers, Animal Rights Organizers, Religious Rights Organizations, basically the very systems and Organizations that makes America What it is.. While Palin sits at a desk in an air conditioned office and signs papers as shes told by the special interest who control her. Then she goes hunting endangered wolves & wildlife with a chopper until they cant run anymore, then opens fire!!!! She even wants to take the Polar Bear off of the Endangered Species List... give me a break...
enough already...
Remember, Jesus is the most famous Community Organizer, and Pontius Pilate was the Governor who ordered his Execution...
Peace....

Palin is a joke and McCain doesn't even know her. They have to lie. Wait until the other lies come out.

When it comes to lying, never argue with experts. Obama is an expert at it. Never knew the dispositions of Rev. Wright, Father Pfleger among others. Almost joined the military. Yeah he knows about lies.

It's a joke. The dems manufacturing lies. Sarah supported improving Alaska's infustructure and they twist it and stretch it into support of the bridge. Todays Dems are as good as fabricating lies as Bill, Impeached President Clinton, was/is at telling lies... "I did not have sex with that woman" Oh! And don't forget the pointing thumb in your face!

Alaska receives far more federal money then Illinois. Illinois actually pays more out in federal taxes then it receives from the federal government. Alaska receives more from the federal government then it pays in taxes, more in fact then any other state. In fact, the blue states fund the red states in the US, because the blue states are the only states that actually make money and have healthy economies.

Palin has been making the same tired scripted speech since the RNC. Does she have an original thought? Six colleges to get one degree? Sometimes she opens her mouth and you have to say did she really say that? Duh? Yes, she did. That's why they won't let this pit bull out alone without her muzzle; she was suppose to start campaigning alone today. She didn't. What's wrong with her? She is no where near a Hillary Clinton. Forget it. I can't wait until she has to open her mouth without a script or an aide.

Please everyone, google "Anne Kilkenny" and read the letter she wrote exposing Sarah Palin. I hope she (Anne) doesn't suffer too much backlash over writing it. Sounds like the "good old girl" can get after you if you cross her. Read about the plane not being SOLD on e-bay as she insinuates. She also cries "don't talk about my family" but parades them around in front of everyone. This mother needs to be with her pregnant daughter. It is a scarey time for that kid. Also, I wouldn't be proud of the fact that she is marrying the 18 year old. They are both kids and it will not be in either of their best interest, and especially a baby, to pursue a marriage. Not at this time.

Please, be sure to do your homework and see that this combination of McCain and Palin is more of the Bush administration and will only hurt the people of the US. Besides they are both ruthless, hot tempered and will mow down anyone in their way. Just watch them, especially her, while on the stage. She is eating up the glory and will be hungry to gobble up as much as she can AT ANY COST.

Thanks for listening.

Isn't it irrelevant whether she supported it or not, when she kept the money?

Let's save time and just list the things that are not lies from the McCain camp

I wish they would have built it....so she could take it. Americans don't be stupid, these people are vile and liers. Bush and Cheney again, please don't fall for their stories!!!!!

Palin is nothing more than Chaney with lipstick. Republicans manipulate and lie to the American people, always censoring and altering the truth to fit their needs. She is on record supporting the bridge, cancelled it when it was uder attack in Washington but kept the money, no matter how you slice it she lied about it, McBush lied about it and all of the lobbiests on the McBush campaign lied about it. Now there is change you can believe in, oops no, MORE OF THE SAME!!!!!

It's really sad to see how many people are willing to bet on McCain/Palin for change and improvement in this country.....if they win this country is in big trouble...but chances are voters aren't voting on the issues since no one really knows who Sarah Palin is – other than someone who believes if you are made pregnant through rape you should be forced to keep the baby.

OH MY GOODNESS!
This is getting like a fight with a two year old over a toy. Or maybe a bunch of teenagers fighting over a tube of lipstick.
I just cannot wait till the next 58 days are over for America.

I have a cell phone and I have been polled on it!

I find it amazing the News attacked Michelle Obama and now letting Todd Palin off the hook of being unpatriotic.
The media is making a star of of Palin when the truth is, She is dirty!
Bridge to nowhere she lies...
She abuses power!
She takes credit for things she has NO credit and or not suceeded as of yet.
McCain, stands like the puppet he is letting her do all the talking.
I find it funny Palin asked for ear marks but, can have no property tax, No state tax and give money back to the residence? Sounds like ask for earmarks and give our money to the residents of Alaska cheating the rest of the USA.

The only lying that has occurred is by the sadistic Liberals. There have been over 70 lies perpetuated by liberals about Sarah Palin that have been PROVEN to be blatant lies. The Dems are so afraid of this woman they do not know what else to do. Obama was AGAINST the surge in Iraq before he was for it. Does that make him a liar? LAME ATTEMPT

Sarah Palin better do her homework before she starts out on her own campaign trail. She will probably fade as fast as she rose.

Let's hope.

People are easily brainwashed whe a women steps to the plate. You remember how Eve manipulated Adam. Palin is nothing but a liar.

I watched the RNC and with Each speaker heard lies come from each speaker without anyone questioning them. Each speaker, from Huckabee... to Bidens vs Palin voting...the Ebay plane sold on ebay.... NY Mayor who never even met this woman... Punch line after punch line... could not believe no one would call them on anythng.

She left the town in debt.... cut taxes.... there are no taxes collected for sales or income..... Bridge to no where.... where is the money honey????

PitBull with lipstick seemed to be the truth

The ad is a lie!

Sadly, this is more of the desperate attacks from the Obama campaign. This whole things goes much deeper than a bridge. This is an indication that the Obama campaign is now on defense according to Willie Brown. People are asking questions about who Obama is, and they don't like what they are hearing. So, the Obama campaign is trying to change the message about a bridge in Alaska. So what if Palin supported the idea of a bridge, she pulled the plug when she saw it was a waste of taxpayer money. She invoke the power of states rights! It is apparent that McCain-Palin are growing in the battle ground states and that by election day, this race will be a lopsided victory for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

So she was in favor of the bridge to nowhere before she was against it?

In the new poll conducted from Friday to Sunday, McCain leads Obama 54-44 percent among likely voters. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of 3 points.

Palin is a shooting star that will soon burn out !!

She may claim to stop the bridge to nowhere - but, she still took the federal money designated for it.

Oh, and the pipeline that she oushed through...yeah, research shows if it ever move forward...it won't be until 2020.

Sorry we are are not that stupid.....

I am sick of hearing the last eight years from the liberals. Maybe I am in the minority, but I make twice as much money as I did eight years ago, the U.S. has not had another 9/11 attack on our home soil, and I have a choice in healthcare. I don't have to wait on the government to tell me which Dr. to see and when I can see him. All the Dems are saying is change, change, change. I certainly don't want more taxes, which Dems would push, and I don't want socialized medine or bigger government.

Mcain/Palin 08

HIs whole campaign is a lie. If he's so capable of making changes, why hasn't he done it in his 26 years in Washington? People better start educating themselves and quit making their decisions from talking points. Do you McCain supporters realize he wants to tax health care benefits? That's right, if you get health insurance from your employer, he wants you to pay taxes on that as if it's income. Wake up people!!

look at me!!!!!
my son is going to iraq, i have a special needs baby
HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER--MEDIA

Look up "Palin Earmarks" she sent 31 ro Ted Stevens for the coming FY09 worth 197 million dollars... the state of a alaska gets more than any other state per capita! she and McCain are both bold faced liars! she's changed religions three different times! this woman will say and do anything to pander to whoever has the most money! TALK ABOUT FLIP FLOPPING!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN.

Average Americans don't believe that the Earth was created 7000 years ago;
We don't ignore overwhelming scientific proof about global warming;
We don't support Jews For Jesus;
We don't support states seceding from the country;
We don't support eminent domain;
We don't support banning books;
We don't support using political power for personal gain (Troopergate);
We do support abortion in the case of rape or incest;
We do support sexual education that deals with pre-marital sex, STDs and contraceptives

Palin should not be allowed anywhere near the White House!
She is an extreme religious fundalmentalist.
She lied about a major corruption foe (she accepted campaign contributions in the same fundraising scheme at the center of a public corruption scandal that led to the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens).
She lied about being against earmarking (she requested $27 Million for tiny Wasilla – even McCain criticized her).
She lied about her initial support for the Bridge to Nowhere (only reversing her opinion when it became politicially beneficial to do so).
She does not support alternate energy sources.
She is anti-environmental.
She even lied about winning Miss Congeniality!

Extreme is an understatement.

So you really want a "Warrior For God" one heartbeat away from our nuclear arsenal? I thought unstable, belligerent religious extremists were our enemies...not our representatives.

McCain Voters – aside from personal attacks on Obama/Biden, please EXPLAIN why you're voting for McCain, do you agree with him on the issues, voting 90% with our beloved President Bush...anyone?

Country First. Really!
Then why did McCain and Republicans lie to American people and took advantage of 9/11 to invade Iraq? Was it 'Country First'?

This is a bit worse than a simple lie. She claims to have opposed the bridge to nowhere (in fact she supported it), but Alaska KEPT THE EARMARK MONEY FOR THE BRIDGE.

If she wanted to say "thanks but no thanks" for the bridge, why did Alaska not send back the millions in earmarks that we gave them for the bridge?

"Thanks but no thanks, and here is your earmark check back" would have been much more convincing.

i want the earmark back that palin received for that bridge to teribithia. it's the taxpayers money and she cheated me out of it!

What's the difference between Cheney and Palin??

Lipstick

LOL

The only people ‘lying’ about spending are the Obama campaign," "The only explanation for their hysterical attacks is that they’re afraid that when John McCain and Sarah Palin are in the White House, Barack Obama’s nearly $1 billion in earmark spending will stop dead in its tracks."

i have a question– if palin is so against pork barrel spending, i presume that she has not accepted very much money for alaska through this mechanism. so how much pork barrel money has alaska received say in 2007 (her first full year as governor), and what does that average per-capita? also i had heard that she still kept the bridge to nowhere money and used it elsewhere, is this true?

Palin is a lie. She wrecked Wasilla the way the G.O.P. wrecked the rest of the country.

Straight out od the G.O.P. Gulag known as Alaska.

Shame on us for even considering this awful hoax. Send her back.

Of course people against Palin are going to lie and say she was for it before she was against it. The records show she considered it and had it killed. "Considering" and "being for" something are different.

Slamming Sarah Palin won't work. She's turned the election upside down-just look at today's polls.

Middle America loves her and that's where the election will be decided, in the small towns of Ohio, Pa., Indiana and Michigan.

Mccain/Palin 08'

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

HELP! HELP!
SOME ONE PLEASE STOP THIS PARADE OF LIES AND TWISTED HALF TRUTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you make less than 60K and you buy the garbage the GOP is still selling. You will get what you deserve, an even harder life. If you are a righty troll, you are what is wrong with this country and no patriot.

Hmmm....John McCain's not a Maverick? Yeah right. Let's see....

John Kerry considered running w/ him in 2004. And even Joe Biden said he would've been honored to run w/ McCain. Lieberman backs him. And Hillary and Bill like him too. (And these are just a few of the big names). Now suddenly, all the Democrats are turning on him. lol It cracks me up!

Certainly he's a Maverick. There's no questionining that. Obama is just shaking in his boots now that he messed up by not choosing Hillary as Veep! His polling #s are bad and.... Well, you get what you pay for DNC and Bots.

THIS is indicative of what to expect if McCain / Palin were actually elected. I have never seen such blatant lies in politics. As if McCain's people actually expect people to believe that he is for "change" and against lobbyists??? How can people believe a single word out of her or McCain's mouth? Err make that the speechwriters rather.

The Republicans speak with such hate and vile words when describing a candidate of true hope and change for this country, the republicans and their supporters should feel shameful especially since so many claim to be Christians and should never desire that kind of Politician in Government. McCain who has ran for President 3 times because he needs and wants POWER to feel like he has accomplished something bigger then himself has chosen to run a negative campaign, not a choice shared by his opponent. McCain a man that would do anything to get power, and that is scary! He again chose a V.P. based only on the idea that it would give him a chance for that win. Well, I’m an Alaskan resident and Sara Palin is riding HIGH on the wings of her predecessors and many Alaskans will tell you the very same story. Alaskans know that her high approval rate is not based upon her it is based upon the government establishment that was in office prior to her taking office. Her so called accomplishments are the hard work of many she works with now and those that held office prior to Palin. Americans need to do their home work; we absolutely can not afford to have a McCain/ Palin in the most powerful positions in America!

The Republican party lie about issues? You don't say??? They are still keeping the Trophy Vice until they have implanted the Rove brain into her body – poor soul – isn't she smart enough to reailze she is being used like a puppet (you hear than Sec. Rice?)

Changing your mind is not the same as blatantly lying. This woman is a liar and a poor substitute for Hillary Clinton.

anyone surprised they are lying? The last month of the McCain has produced no proposals for how the plan to tackle the issues at hand. They spend all their time crying about the media, lying about Barack Obama and lying about Palin's experience.

Instead of trying to create a controversy where none exists, the Dems should concentrate on teaching Biden to walk and chew gum at the same time. Biden "not a debater"? Talk about the understatement of the decade! Biden would lose against a ripe cantaloupe.

Sen. McCain = Pres. McCain

I'm truly scared for the future of this country if that woman gets anywhere near the White House.

She should stay in Alaska with her moose and pregnant teen daughter and teach creationism or whatever she's into.

Republicans have been lying for 8 years. why should this be any different?

Seems to me this issue becomes more interesting when you look at a CNN story in April this year when Obama and Clinton were campaigning in the primaries. Obama made some pretty strong statements about the need to reexamine the whole earmark process, signed on as a co-sponsor for a bill which called for a moratorium on earmark spending and refused to submit any earmark requests for 2009.
On the other hand, Sarah Palin submitted a request for $197 million for 2009. This is a state with less than 700 thousand residents (vs 13 million for Illinois). It is also a state where there is no state income or sales tax, because they derive 80% of revenues from oil company revenue. In addition, every resident, including babies, get a check every year fro oil company revenues. Our pain at the pump is Alaska's gain!!!

"the claim she was against the bridge is not entirely accurate;" but NOT a lie. Sounds like business as usual here, something you ObamaBiden fans should understand..., sorry I realize it's different when you guys do it.

It is hysterical that people on here are accusing Palin of flip flopping. Obama has a history of that... and not being able to make up his mind. I'd rather have a VP makes a bad vote here and there than a PRESIDENT that can't make up his mind!

And to "Jim Schimmer" for calling Palin dangerously inexperienced... seriously? Can you recall Obama's experience...oh wait...he doesn't have any and he's running for PRESIDENT. Palin is running for VP. If this election was about experiece, Obama would be screwed. Another thing that's hysterical is that Obama fans are comparing him to Palin....remember it's McCain that is running against Obama... compare those experience levels.

GO MCCAIN/PALIN 08 !!!

Obama is a blowhard. I have watched closely several interviews now and he has almost sociopathic tendencies. He can't admit he was wrong on the surge. His answers to direct questions on whether he was wrong sound just like Bill Clinton saying "that depends on what is is".

Anyone see George Stephanopolous of all people nail Obama for the "95% of all Americans will see lower taxes under his plan"? George corrected him that it is only 81% and the 95% applied to married couples. Obama either does not know or lying about his own plan.

The GOP has been lying throughout this election. It's part of the Rove shift in politics. Rove and the GOP have been taking advantage of the fact that citizens don't think candidates lie. The GOP lies, and it's reported as "not completely accurate". Time to start calling a spade a spade. A "lie" is when someone intentionally says something they know is false. GOP – the party for liars.

WHERE do some of these Obama true believers get their information from.

Cell phone users ARE POLLED!!!!!!

At least the GALLUP says right on its website and in the explanation of its polling methods.

"Interviews are conducted with respondents on land-line telephones (for respondents with a land-line telephone) and cellular phones (for respondents who are cell-phone only)."

BTW There is a big pattern of 'half truths' being told and retold as truth.

The American people ARE NOT idiots and to think that the 'smart' people ONLY live in cities and that rural America does not have the same proportion of bright people is why the Dems may be setting themselves up for another loss.

Non Obama supporters are people you KNOW but are not as vocal as Obama supporters. They are have souls and feelings and they are your co workers, your friends, your doctors, teachers etc....
they just don't talk about their politics and if you think THEY are not listening and are not going to VOTE you are wrong.

By insulting them it only shows how ignorant and shallow you are and will show how truly non intelligent the comments and Obama supporters are. (you can talk yourselves into anything and to say only the less intelligent voted for bush and will vote McCain is fantasy at the very least and has been a way for Dems to rationalize the notion of Dem losses over the years IE if you vote for the Rep you MUST be stupid sort of fantasy.

Obama supporters and the Dems in history have never seemed to realize the true demographics of this country and rely of stereotyping those that disagree with them and those on the fence. They do this and only insult the American public who are far from naive. Insults are NOT the way to win over voters and only a way to steer clear thinking voters away from you cause.

You know...the GOP has ALWAYS lied and pandered so this is not surprise. However WE DEMS NEED To stop being so "nice" and throw everything we have at them...the Truth alone is all it takes.
Obama/Biden -Who cares what the Polls Say.

The Americans are just plain stupid...and we are the laughing stock of the world when they see how stupid we are in supporting McSame again. They see Palin for what she is. What a joke.

It is no surprise to me that this ad is a lie, the Republican party has been built on lies for the last 8 years. To continue this only shows exactly that McCain and Palin are all about, 4 more years of the same lies and special interests. It is important to remember that while McCain tries to distance himself from the current administration he has voted for their policies 90% of the time. If McCain/Palin were any different why would they be using Bush advisors such as Karl Rove and others during their campaign. I would be a sad day for the country if they were elected into office and show only go to show the world we have not learned our lesson on the last 8 years. GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!

oh yeah, i forgot alaska.

McCain & Palin are liers!

Hey Sarah, SHOW ME THE MONEY.

If you turned down the bridge, kindly produce the RECEIPT that shows the money going back to the taxpayer. I've just checked my accounts – and I have no record of receiving ANY of that money back!

OBAMA:
NOW IS THE TIME ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK

Why the "quotes" on "lie"? It IS a lie! Your "quoting" the word lie insinuates that the Obama camp is lying. Either you're in the tank for McCain, or you need new copy editors. Or both.

according to fact check o bama's certificate of birth is authentic others obamacrimes com beg to differ...check it out NOW... coming this OCTOBER THE TRUTH STICKS OUT//// A SUIT YOU NEED TO LEARN ABOUT

Sarah Palin is DICK CHENEY WITH LIPSTICK!! You got to give it to Karl Rove though, he sure knows how to pick a VP for his party. The FEARFUL RIGHT ate it up. America dooped again. The unqualified but hot weather girl. One time, two times, three times fools. Who said they couldn’t do it again? Who said America was smarter this time around? Who said Bush couldn’t win a 3rd term if he ran again?? The FEAR FACTOR always dominates. It’s just amazing that a party who works for 3% of the people manages to fool an entire 51% into believing they work for them too. Amazing. I had an epiphany yesterday watching the TV show Hole in the Wall. We are screwed. We are an Idiocracy.

What is wrong with our country??? How can we as Americans afford to put McSame/Palin in office??? This is a man who looks up to Bush...am I the only one who see's what our current situation is?? Our economy has gone down the tubes, we are fighting an endless war?? All this thanks to Bush and we want to put someone just like him in office. Don't get me started on Palin....this woman has a special needs child and a pregnant teen. She needs to go home and care for her children. This woman banned books from the library...she is an extremist!!!

No matter when Sarah Palin opposed the bridge, she still initially supported.

That's a flip-flop.

"It is not truth that matters, but victory."

- Adolf Hitler

When did Sarah Palin return that $400 million dollars to Washington after she was against the bridge to nowhere? The last I knew, she never did. It's been reported that the $400 million when to other Alaskan projects.

What? Since when do you take $400 million dollars that was for one project and apply it to others?

Gov Palin....RETURN THE TAXPAYER MONEY NOW!!!!

Why do the Republicans lie so easily? Why do people who say they are "Christians" and who do not supposedly believe in lying accept leaders who lie without a thought? Look at the past 8 years, we were fed lies on top of lies and people just kept believing it all. It makes one wonder what has happened to the brains of the people in the country.

What's so amazing to me is that even when they've been called out these people continue to keep telling lies!!! And what's even more amazing is that people start repeating them like they're truths!! When is this craziness going to end. One of the VALUES I was taught by my mother was not to lie. Maybe they weren't taught the same thing.

Wow – this election just keeps getting more and more surreal every day. I think the Bush/Cheney years will seem like the roaring 90s compared to what we'll get with McCain and Palin.

I could be wrong, but I'll have to keep on believing the McCain campaign has something to hide until Palin talks to the press. And when is that going to be exactly? They promised she'd sit down with ABC this week; let's see what exactly she has to say about that bridge to nowhere.

America doesn't deserve to have a president like Obama! A candidate with such humbleness, honesty and good judgement only appears once in a lifetime. Well, let's get ready for the anger, rage and hate of the "catholic" candidates.

This is truly funny. I have never seen so many democratic crybabies. Maybe you guys should think about working instead of sitting on the internet blogging. Obama wants you to be the best you can be, but if you don’t try its ok he will give you free money and health care. Sounds like a joke to me.

Palin LIED about the EBAY isue too. sold the plan to a Rebublican for a loss. Must have been one of those Good O'l boy deals that she is so against.

Again we see how these LIEs are told over and over and the NEWS MEDEA just keeps on running them. Giveing thousands of hours of fre air time to adds that should be paid for. But no let the NEWS channels be USES as silly pupets to make sure the lies are repeated enough times to ensure that the weak of mind start to think itis TRUE. After all they said it on FOX so it must be true.

so sad that people believe her...it seems to me that people are just voting for mcain because of this palin person,,what about the problems that we are facing,,don't that count,,i thought america was smarter than that,,,and they will be the first ones to whine when mccain/palin messed up the white house,,,,,so i hope america do some research and listen carefully to what mccain/palin are talking about,,see them for who they really are....now all of a sudden hes a maverick,,,yeah he's a maverick because the repubs n bush messed up big time,,,now they don't know bush,,last time i checked bush is a repub....truth hurts.....BE SMART AMERICA.....

Rogers needs to get his facts straight – and we the American people need to stop falling for this garbage. And what about the over $200M AK kept for the bridge that never happened? Come on McCain, we expected you to be honorable.

I am a proud Barak supporter and here is why:

He is taking away money from the Rich and give to the Poor. We are all equal and we all shall live the same life, and that’s what Barak and his supporters are proud off. Loosing jobs while taxing small companies is nothing but crap.

He is giving health care to everybody and the trillion of dollars will come from the Riches pockets as well. What’s wrong if EVERYBODY will have to stay in line for a day to reach a doctor, as long as everybody in this country gets the same share? Calling this Socialism is media’s crap as well.

Finally black people in this country came to power. Let us prove what we can do to lead this country for the first time in history. It’s our turn and we can make the true CHANGE.

Thank you MEDIA for helping us changing the country in the right direction. Together we will make history.

this is ridiculus...i mean palin is a joke. the dems need to get tough on this lady, with out hesitation due to unfair accusations of sexism. she chose a career in politics, some things in politics never change-politics have always been tough-and some things will never change. as for these false polls, c'mon its obvious that these polls are completely engineered. who do these people poll, while there may be undoubtedly some mccain suppoters, there are far to many obama supporters. except for texas and florida and michigan, the electoral college is going blue in november.

Call a spade like a spade! Even the Anchorage Daily News says Palin has flip-flopped on this issue. Palin was for the bridge, then went with the political winds and turned against it when it became a lightning rod for criticism.

Obama's campaign needs to hit back harder about these continuing falsehoods from McCain. But the responsibility also likes with CNN and the rest of the MSM to point out these false statements EVERY TIME they are reiterated. We have to do the same in our daily lives with friends, family, and co-workers. Otherwise these lies just start becoming accepted as fact when they are far from it.

Interview Sarah Palin now... it's time that she starts answering questions from reputable, responsible journalists.

The real bridge to nowhere is Obama/Biden 08

Palin not only lied about the bridge proposal and plane sale, she also lied about something as simple as her son going to Iraq. How is it that her son is going to Iraq in 2 weeks when he hasn't even reported to boot camp yet? Does Palin and the republican party have a problem with stretching the truth or what? I don't believe anything that comes out of their mouths!

Be careful for what you ask for because you just might get it.

Let it be known you cast your vaoe at the voting booth and winners declared but the results of the vote are not a guarantee.

Because the electoral vote has not cast it's vote. Most of the time electoral votes goes toward the candidate who has received the most votes in that particular state.

Some states have laws to vote for the candidate that won poplular vote. However there have been times when electors have voted opposite to the peoples decision. Let it be known that there is no federal law or constitution provision against it.

Who lost the poplular vote?
Al Gore

George Bush won it by one electoral vote. Yes one vote. You saw what happen and hope this will never ever happen again.

America be very careful because you just might get it again.

A reminder to us all. These are the worst 8 years I have ever had to endure. The electoral votes has the control and they are watching very carefully what is best for us all. They are human just like us and I do believe that they do care..

The Bush Administration has stung us not once but twice. I want some relief and a fair shake for everyone and the future generation.

God Bless America

Hey, she WAS for the bridge UNTIL the senate killed it ,THEN she backed off

Mccain -palin is the real bridge to nowhere

Liars liars liars,
Evangelicals will put up a deaf ear, reason please............
I am an evagenlical and i know Palin is a big liar.
Evangelicals will vote for a rock as long as it pretends to love God.!!!!!!!

I prefer this at least to Obama's stealing a primary based on, ad nauseum, an argument that he was the "only one" to come out and actively oppose the Iraq War, BUT NEVER ONCE mention that he was not in the U.S. Senate at the time and thus NEVER HAD TO CAST A VOTE EITHER WAY. Guess if he had been in the U.S. Senate at the time, he would have tried to vote "present," but then realizing that in the U.S. Senate it's either up or down, he would have gone ahead and voted whichever way the political winds were blowing at the time - i.e., for the war.

Same old Chicago Politics.

McCain/Palin '08

Republicans are doing what they do best. Lie and deceive just to get elected. They figure if they stick with the same story long enough it will become the truth. Look what it got GW Bush. He won. So why not do the same thing.

BUSH WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE (TWICE)....MCCAIN/PALIN WILL BE DELIBARATE....

Liar, liar, her pants are officially on fire...

Jason, the "real Barack Obama" has integrity and genuinely cares about this country and its people. He came from nothing and achieved the American Dream. He understands us little people and sincerely wants to help US, not the richest and big oil like the Republicans Obama's economic plan will start us back on the right track, unlike McCain's which will only help the rich get richer.
The Republicans only care about lining their own pockets and imposing their old fashioned right wing agendas on a nation too obstinate or afraid to take a chance on a real change.
Go with McBush and Palin-Bush if you must but please remember it hurts all of us, nationally and globally, to allow another 'regime' like the last hold this country hostage to their war-mongering, christian extremist views.

Unbelievable.

What good is being a maverick if integrity is not one of your characteristics? Sarah Palin (and McCain of late) seem less the mavericks and more the flags flapping in the wind.

Looks like a flip flop to me!!!
Time to bring it out!!!
Time to do the vetting that it seems J/M didn't do if you ask me!!!

This election can no longer be about people or personalities. It has to be about the party.

I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but if a Republican gets in the White House during this next run, and if there are changes to be made on the Supreme Court, you can forget about civil liberties. Social and cultural dogma will take over and the U.S will be stimied into a cultural dark-age, where we'll see it be illegal to be gay; we'll see religion forced downed our childrens throats (whether you believe in religion or not); we'll see womens rights and choice fade away.

Whether you believe in these things or not, the premise of America is to have a difference in belief. With a Republican in the White House, our gait toward facism will increase rapidly...

Strange bed fellows.....

"...presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, said pet projects could have played a role in a Minnesota bridge collapse that killed 13 people earlier this year.

"Maybe if we had done it right, maybe some of that money would have gone to inspect those bridges and other bridges around the country," McCain told a group of people in a town-hall style meeting in Ankeny, Iowa.

"Maybe the 200,000 people who cross that bridge every day would have been safer than spending $233 million of your tax dollars on a bridge in Alaska to an island with 50 people on it."

This woman palin need to be exposed this woman is evil Dick Cheny in dress and a dog with a lipstick. Peopl go read Factcheck.org for the lies Mccain and palin telling you. Flat out lies. Obama as a president and Hillary secretary of state.

So what if she was for it and now against it. For whatever reason, she changed her mind on it. Do you know why she changed her mind on it ? do you know what she did with the money ? NO, you don't. You get all your facts from the talking heads. Why don't you just wait until she is interviewed or in a debate. I'm sure they will be coming up soon enough, and I'm sure that these questions are going to asked. Stop bashing the canidates when you don't know the reasons behind the decisions. Half you people that make comments on here don't know sh)(*t !!! You like to think you do, because all your information comes from the talking heads. Try picking up a book or go to the library and research history and past president and presidental elections

Again, the Democrats are expected to do whatever they can to find some way to discredit Sarah Palin. Like it or not, Obama blew it with his choice of Biden and McCain was wise enough to step up and make a choice to accept Obama's gift of the election.

In any event, if Obama can't stay on-message ( i.e., 'change' ) with such a critical point as choosing a VP candidate, how can you expect him to stay on-message when he visits Iran to talk about nuclear weapons?

But it's not Obama, it's about McCain and Palin bringing the right approach, energy and wisdom for America in 2008.

People - WAKE UP. The Republicans lie to you. They lied to you about Iraq and WMD. They lied to you about Hussein and his role in 9/11. And what did that do for YOU? More Americans killed in Iraq than killed on 9/11. Thousands more maimed for life. An economy in shreds. A loss in stature and credibility by the world. Getting loans from China - a Communist nation.

And now? They are lying to you about Palin as the "reform" candidate. They're lying and obfiscating the truth about her hiring lobbyists and taking ear marks. They're desperately trying to hide her abuse of power and corruption and keep her from being truly vetted. John McCain lies to you EVERY day and you CHOOSE to believe him.

WHY do you want more of the same? The Republican bosses are counting on you to be stupid - to believe any and everything they tell you at face value and to never EVER question the veracity of their candidates.

Are you willing to let the Republicans continue to grind the Constitution under the heels of Rovian politics? Do you not know how to do ANY critical thinking on your own??

Will you only be satisfied when Americans become oppressed by religion and threat of war?

What is wrong with you people???

For God's sake - please. THINK.

The lie here is that they claim she is responsible for stopping it when it was already a dead and done deal. That would be comparable to McCain coming out and saying he was for direct diplomacy with Iran or North Korea after he was against it, then taking credit for it when it succeeds. It would be another lie. It would be like McCain coming out and saying he is for Iraq withdraw time tables after he was against it, then taking credit for the drawdown.

The only "lie" in this election is Obama and his campaign. They're trying to put a slick one over on the electorate. I'm very glad to see he is slowly melting away in the polls.

Actually, Palin is the best thing I've ever seen hit the campaign trail in my lifetime. She is like a refreshing breath of clean Alaskan air.....while Obama is like filling your lungs with dirty Chicago smog.

NO WAY....NO HOW.....NOBAMA!

McCain-Palin – 2008

It was NOT Palin who lied about selling a jet on EBay, for a profit; it WAS McCain who lied about it. (so there!?)
She made sure a Republican friend got it at discounted price so he could use it for polar bear hunting clients!
What about her attempts to fire a librarian who would not ban books she did not approve of?
What if Mrs Biden had been an American hating Separatist? CNN would be reporting it then!
I still predict Plain will resign for 'family reasons', and McCain will then bring in his 1rst choice, Lieberman.

McCain voters, I understand. They're either one-issue people or they're benefiting somehow from the military/industrial complex. Obama voters, I understan, too. We're genuinely interested in a better, more equitable life for all Americans. It's the Independent/Undecideds I don't get. What in hell do they want? It's like not being able to make up your mind between a day at the park or ten years in jail. Wake up!

Does the McCain camp belive that we would not find out that Palin is a lier? Both McCain and Palin are betting on us not beliving the truth.I for one would like to see The McCain camp tell the real truth.She is a lier Palin and simple.

If anyone thinks Sarah Palin "stopped" the bridge to nowhere and didn't support it, they are sadly mistaken. And it is dishonest for the republicans to claim differently.

Sarah Palin supported the bridge to nowhere and was soliciting Ted Stevens for her own pork. Everyone is reporting that she supported the bridge and she is on record.

"Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it's clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island." – Sarah Palin

This is just more rewriting history by the republicans. The Daily Show and Colbert Report each had montages last week of John McCain saying over and over in recent interviews and speeches how he knows this and that – but then they showed more montages where he denies knowing anything when people were trying to pin him down on issues.

Americans need to open their eyes. They are being scammed and deceived.

IF America is stupid enough to vote for McCain and Palin then it gets what it deserves.

Do you think we are stupid... There is video of everything this woman has said and done...Once the media stops being afraid to attack her and scrutinize her the same way Obama was attacked then America will realize this woman is POISON>>>>>>>George Bush with lipstick....

The fact that dick cheney supports her is reason enough for us to be scared.

Obama should have picked Clinton,

Oh well, MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!!!!!

CLINTON 2012

It's funny to see the Dems scrambling now that McCain is ahead in the polls.

"McCain and Palin are Liars!"
"Polls don't mean anything!"

Scream all you wan't. It won't change the fact that McCain is going to be the next president. Enjoy : )

Based upon what I've seen in the media, and found on my own in my own research, I believe that Sarah Palin will make an excellent Republican Vice President. She fits the profile perfectly. She is vindictive, nasty, and slimy. She wraps her unethical activities up in the flag and religion so that those who attack her can be labeled unpatriotic or "left wingers". I'm sure the Republicans are VERY proud of Sarah. She is a continuation of what has been going on with our country for the last 8 years.

I wish the American media would get some guts and start calling these politicians on their distortions, their records, and their sneakiness. In the 50's and 60's these people wouldn't have lasted more than a day or two without the great newscasters of the day taking them to task. Where are the great newscasters of the 21st Century? Helloooooooooo????

gosh I can't stand that woman....

Then Obama/Biden should start running adds calling them out on this. Negative campaigning seems to work.

GOP have lied to the American people for 8years over and over again.

They cannot be elected again.

MCAIN/PAILIN = George boosh and dick cheny in LIPSTICK

The game is repeat the same old lie and people will believe it
has facts.
If the media was doing their Job each time a candidates makes a false statement they should stop them right there and denounce them.

I respect people's right to study and practice any faith they so desire, but when that faith leads them into power, it's troublesome. We need leaders that will make their decisions on facts and not on their faith. Your relationship with god should be personal. Obama distanced himself from his church because the rhetoric was divisive. Sarah should distance herself from her church and pastor too. Right now, I'm leery of anyone who believes Iraq is a war from God, Israel deserves terrorism because of it's non-acceptance of Jesus, speaking in tongues, etc... Again, I respect their beliefs, but think they should stay in the private sector if their views aren't more moderate.

Can someone PUUULLLLEEEEEEZZZZ stop them from lying?!?!?! First, abuse of power, then a bridge, include the number of colleges that she attended...Palin is a person of LOW CHARACTER.

They are depending on Americans being dumb, bigoted, or too lazy to seek and act upon the truth.

I'm issuing a challenging to my fellow Americans:

Are you willing to willing to let your vote be cast in the direction of what is not based upon truth (which, by the way, is colorless)?

Boy the dems and the media are running scared. Amazing a woman can bring this on. They are scrambling to discredit her as much as they can. And I thought the dems were more liberal on womens' rights and equal opportunities. I guess not.

Lies from the Republican candidates...shocking! Maybe when our "ready to lead the country" candidate Sarah is "ready to talk to the serious press" we may get her to answer some of these charges.

I really don't understand how if she is so READY and QUALIFIED that her purpose for this week is to bring a spark of excitement to the oldster McCain.

How can Meet The Press be such a challenge, why do they need to protect her? Come on girl...do you have the stuff or not!

So where did the Money Go??? Is there a bridge to no where that is half built???

I'm so sick and tired of hearing how McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time (his party). Lets start hearing how Obama voted along his party lines 97% of the time.

I think that the MCcain and Palin are doing a great job and I belive that they will be a great team in the White House. And Obama's people know that MCcain and Palin are right when it is and about all of the issues. We need some one who knows how to lead and that is MCcain and Palin.

This woman should face the tough interviews just like all the other candidates have had to. The repubs are quoted as saying, "she will be interviewed when we see it is to our advantage".

What about us the voters? Don't they think we have a right to know who she really is? What else are they hiding? Do they really think we are just supposed to have her a heartbeat away from the presidency and we know nothing about her? She could potentially be in charge of all of us and we know nothing about her.

Remember Kerry in 2004? he was for the bill to fund the Military before he was against it when the republicans loaded all of their earmarks and did not address the issue of funding VA and better equipment? remember the job the Bush Campaing did on him... this is about fair play... I think the Dems have the right to question the ad; it is a flip on her stance and a pretty big one at that $300 mill worth.

McCain was Brilliant in picking the first Republican woman to share the ticket with; Obama must show his brilliance in energizing the country again on "HOPE"; ladies and Gentlemen buckle your seatbelts.

Discredit by news orgnizations! News organizations that are biased in favor of Obama. Now that says a lot!

Sadly, no matter how many lies and misrepresentations the GOP puts out there, unless the mainstream press covers the fact that they are lies, the Republicans will win. Their campaign is nothing more than a well-run PR machine, and the press and many citizens are being swayed by it. I've heard numerous people I thought were pretty smart, and who'd had enough of Bush, indicate that they will vote for McCain/Palin (well, Palin more than McCain). The fact that so many are goo-goo-eyed over this extreme right-wing liar is astonishing, especially considering they'd never heard of her before 10 days ago. God help our country.

America is the light of the world. The beacon of business, the arts, media, technology. Many years ago I came to live here in admiration of all that the American people have achieved.

Please will an American explain to me why half the population is buying into the same old Republican lies and distortions that have run this great country into the ground over the last 8 years. Surely people cannot be so blind? Even my little kids come up with more plausible fictions than the tripe that the Republican spin machine is churning out. It's staggering!

This really is America's last chance to get it right. With the US economy in tatters, the national debt at almost unrecoverable levels, US standing in the world at a low ebb and everyday life here in America becoming a soul destroying struggle for all but the wealthiest, the Bush-Cheney government has undone over a century of hard work by generations and generations of Americans. Four more years of McCain-Palin will see the situation irreparable. History will wonder what the hell Americans were thinking in 2008!!!

Good to see McCain's camp getting called on their blatant lies by a "legitimate" news outlet for a change. Usually, the only place I see anyone getting held accountable for what they say in this campaign is on "The Daily Show" of all places....

Come on barack!!! do something. say something!!! these people are liars and thieves. don't let them get away with 4 more years. america can't take it!!! Fight!!!!! Fight with all your might. give it to mclame and that smug sarah palin who thinks she's so funny reading other people's jokes off the teleprompter. Give it to them!! They lie!! whew...there, I feel better.

lets point the finger and say thats the bad guy lol. Oh my god liberals are always good for a laugh.

It won't help to ask for Hillery's help. Can't yall see Hillery wants obama to loose so she can run in 2012.

IF YOU AREN'T A BIGOT, GO TO FACTCHECK.ORG AND SEE HOW MUCH SHE LIES
YOU REPUBS MUST BE SO GULLIBLE, OR CAN'T STAND TO SEE A BLACK MAN IN OFFICE
SUCH A SHAME
SUCH A PITY

What can't you understand Republicans about the English language:

'She once promised the voters of her home state that she would not only come to the defense of the bridge but would "not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative."

That's a 2006 quote people. If you want to be a Nazi, just admit it but don't claim things when they are not the truth. We;ve had 8 years of lies that has cost us 4,000+ lives and a trillion dollars. Stop the nonsense NOW.

Everytime I see Pit Bull on television she is giving the same speech diffrent outfit. Maybe shes like the robots in that movie 'Stepford wives' except she only has that one speech recorded in her speech chip.Ha,Ha,Ha

Palin supported the bridge to nowhere while she was running for Gov. and check out where the money for the bridge is....still in Alaska! In fact the money is being used to build a road to a deserted beach where the bridge was supposed to be built.

Alaska received the most per capita earmarks of any state in the country last year. Exponentially more than Illinois received per capita.

McCain and Palin have demonstrated that they are willing to say anything to get elected, mislead, lie, bend the truth, etc. We've spent the last eight years being lied to. Enough is enough.

Democrats show your different from the Republican liars that are running McCain/Pailns campaign .
Fight back hard and do not let the GOP get away with this ad or anything else they wish to throw at Senator Obama and Biden.
Obama is Change we need now .
Good you called the ad a lie.
Now is the time to stop the GOP in their lying tracks.
Lets all join the fight to stop McCain and whats her name from the Stone age Palin.

There is a moron named John McCain
Who shows us all he has no brain
He went and picked a Alaskan Viper
Who will help him change his dirty diaper

WOW

WHY IS OBAMAS SO AFRAID OF STRONG WOMEN??

If these statements are played over and over the publlic began to believe lies.

What are we so afraid of???????

These k ind of statements cover up the real issues of today.

What a shame!!!!!!!!!1

We all know liberals don't flip flop – they just change their mind after giving a matter some evolved, intellectual thinking. NOT!!!

Right on Obama! The SHEEP in this country need to wake up and realize what a farce Palin is. If she ran for office in any other democratic country, her credibility (or lack thereof) would be torn to shreds.

It would be nice if both parties would raise the discourse to a level that avoided this sort of thing. Governor Palin should be asked to explain the inconsistency in her positions, but Senator Obama and Senator McCain should be called upon to do so with respect to theirs. Taxes are a good example. Senator Obama is advocating raising taxes on businesses as a way to grow the economy and aid those whose incomes put them in a tax bracket other than the highest one. What he is not telling voters is that many businesses that cannot afford the tax increases will discharge employees to find the money, which means more people, not less, will be out of work. There are other problems that will be created by his tax policies that he is not discussing, which means that he is being less than forthright. Senator McCain, for his part, should explain exactly where he intends to find the funds to balance the federal budget if his tax cuts are implemented, especially if the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue for some time. There is simply too much riding on this election for voters to be uninformed.

That's it...keep calling out their lies!

But its really sad...America is SO scared of Barack, they are going to elect McBush/Palin, and then complain when the country is WORSE than it is.

Obama/Biden '08

Biden and Clinton were both against Obama before they were for him. I would rather someone be wrong then make the right choice than someone be right then turn around and make the wrong one.

Shameless...the GOP lies with no regard for the American people...they lie just to win.
The very definition of being un-American.
And this is the 'maverick'?

Vote integrity, Vote Obama 08.

She may be new to Washington politics, but it didn't take her long to learn how to fabricate in the conservative tradition..........the only ticket to consider for her this election is a one way ticket back to Alaska!!!

Obama/Biden 2008!

Big surprise....the mavericks are actually branded cattle!!!! The brand they wear is the GW Bush, D Cheney, and K Rove brand.

Lie your way to anything....war...the Whitehouse....whatever...

McCain has sunk so so low...what the heck happened to him?? After his loss in 2000, he seems to have decided to stop being himself and be a "Republican". What a shame.

She should be called Sarah Palin Cheney every day until the election. If the dems want to compete this time around.

Careful now... It's one thing to change your opinion, but to lie about it and say you never had it, that's another thing. Stop acting like a repuglican and twisting and spinning the truth. SHE LIED! Period! And she has continuously lied since she stood up in front of the nation at the RNC. She is a paliar.

Repubs will keep repeating this story over and over and over and over and eventually they'll say the facts are a creation of the oppositional mainstream media. Deja vu?

Now, the McCain-Palin ticket has become the really scary "Bridge to Nowhere". Ms Palin must be held accountable to the electorate for her record – however sparse it may be. Somebody's got to call her out. There's simply too much at stake.
Who IS this woman that millions of us had never even heard of two weeks ago? Could Sarah weather the kind of excessive scrutiny, unrelenting attacks, and vicious hatchet jobs with which Hillary Clinton has had to contend the past 16 years. And there's what? 60 days left? We may never know – until it's too late!
I am so disappointed in Senator McCain for foisting this unknown, inexperienced and thorougly unqualified candidate onto the national electorate. And for what purpose? To pander to the "Religious Right!" Totally irrespnsible.

Obama and his Dick Cheney (Joe Biden) are running scared.

I'm not buying this news about McCain boost, only a handful of people I know will vote for them. It looks like McCain is buying the news stories now a days, cause it's all about him. But I don't trust him and America wants change. Obama supporters keep your heads up, we will win.

she was only against it when she found out the Alaska would have to pay way more then she thought...then she kept the money that had already been received and built the 'road to nowhere'.....just in case that bridge ever showed up.

With all Palin's experience she can start banning books on a federal level on day one. Hand gun rights for Christians only. Jesus loves SUV's and oil drilling. Alaska sold the govenor's private plane to the McCain campain.

Jesus was a comunity organizor, Putus Pilot was a govenor

McCain is an opportunist. He dumped his wife after cheating his way across America when the meal ticket came along. Married in Arizona before he was divorced in Florida.
Palin is his new meal ticket.
She and McCain are hypocritical frauds.

Obama/Biden 08.

We have been listenning to Obama for 19 months about change and I am sure no one will ever mistake spelling that word. If he really meant change then his selection of Biden was wrong because he does belong to the old ideas and functions.He should have made us ask the question Why this candidate rather than Why that candidate?Merely , speaking about change is not enough we need to be shown how serious he is. Mccain did just the opposite he also talked about change and he showed his guts by appointing a younger candidate for the 2 spot.President of America is the most powerful position in the world and for that we need a president wo looks tough,who speaks tough and who takes tough decisions.When we questioned his inexperience for the post of President he should have been tough and selected a younger person as his running mate and not 65 years Biden. By his selection he showed and acknowledged that he is really inexperienced.This position is not for the weak and Obama has to yet to show that.He keeps harping about his decision not to go to war with Iraq as a sound judgement but let us remember that 9/11 happened immediately after democratic left office.Lets us also remember that there has been no 9/11 for 8 years. are we not safe now???

What else is new... every ad they put out is a lie...the problem is American is so dumbed down that they can't see the forest for the trees

Am I the only person in this country that is fed up to eyeballs with this Palin woman, already?? And it's only been a week!! Why is it, that Republicans always seem to back liars, cheats, and people with over-inflated, or disreputable histories? It is astonishing to see how they blithely dismiss issues for which they would move heaven and earth to try to crucify a person of the opposing party for. It just shows them for the hypocrites they truly are, and certainly not to be trusted with the reigns of government anymore! I think we all conservative AND progressive...understand that...after the last 8 years of Bush's failures and imperialist rule!! Don't trust a Republican...EVER!

Repubs will keep repeating this story over and over and over and over and eventually they'll say the facts are a creation of the oppositional mainstream media. Deja vu?

Wake up and smell the McShame and Palin Brew she was chosen to get you attention she has had her 15 Minutes of FAME now lets get back to the facts ,McSame is is running for president if he wins we should just save American the Moving expenses and just keep Bush,
that is not CHANGE it is SAME.

Palling is being used as a smoke screen, Senator Obama is the High Velosity Fan he will BLOWWWWWWWWWW all that smoke and hot air out of Washington..

SENATOR OBAMA THE REAL DEAL FOR A REALLLLLLLLL CHANGE!!

CHECK THE FACTS ON BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS @ factcheck.org

Both campaigns lie, distort, spin, etc.
Old news.

Unfortunately, us bloggers are the only ones reading the news and staying updated. Most of my neighbors who plan on voting for McSame have no idea that this was inaccurate and dispute the facts that it is when I've told them mainly because I'm an Obama supporter.
Stay informed America, PLEASE!!!!!

I dont see how it is deadlocked , because a lot of people have not voted ... Me and my family ... we will be there in November .. So enjoy it McCain/Palin while it last .. Because in November .. Your out... OBama/Biden 08

From factcheck.org "Congress had removed the earmark, giving the requested money to the state but not marking it for any specific use. Palin unplugged its life support, declaring in 2007 that the funds would not be used for the Gravina bridge."

READ CAREFULLY – the money could be used for the bridge – it wasn't 'dead' – but Palin said 'No Bridge'.

WHERE is the lie???

VOTE FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08
WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE!!!

-----–or-------–

Vote the McCain/Liar Ticket
Bush/Cheney mouth pieces.

When is Palin going to start answering questions?

According to Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign, the American people don't care whether Sarah Palin can answer specific questions about foreign and domestic policy. According to Wallace — in an appearance Joe Scarborough's show — the American people will learn all they need to know (and all they deserve to know) from Palin's scripted speeches and choreographed appearances on the campaign trail and in campaign ads.

I thought she was applying for the job as VP?

Why can't we ask her any questions?

All we get is one speech she delivered great, but didn't write.

I find this VERY, VERY strange. Very unsettling.

Gov Palin has rejected more than one hundred interview requests. IF SHE ISN'T READY TO STAND UP TO THE PEN, HOW CAN YOU THINK SHE IS READY TO STAND UP TO THE SWORD?

Wonder if any of Obama's earmark went to the house he purchased on the cheap thru Rezko? Obama really made out like a bandit on that one. Very slick.

How can American Citizens even consider voting for the Republicans after the tragedy they have created in the last 8 years??????

It is no wonder that People in other countries Poke fun at Americans for being stupid!

Come on people make a sensible decision in this election. MCCain is more of the Same and it is a disgrace to compare Palin (Ms. Pain) to Obama. She is only on the ticket because she is a woman.

Experience NOT Obama is well educated and professional and can think and write his own speeches and he does not have to be shielded until he has been programmed on the acceptable talking points. By the way Michelle Obama writes speeches as well.

Come on American people and Vote for Competence and real Change. VOTE for OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Right or wrong, at least she was for SOMETHING.

How many "PRESENT" votes = "CHANGE?"

PUMA!!!

McCain/Palin '08

If you can't tell the American people "the truth, make-up some lies" that they can believe in....................

They are not mavericks. They are liars. McCain and Palin lied in their convention speeches, have been lying consistently in their nasty, petty ads, and their surrogates continue to lie, distort and belittle. I'm truly saddened that the race has tightened based on Palin's one good speech and and an oddball history.

SHE ALSO NEVER RETURNED THE FUNDS FOR THE BRIDGE.

CNN PLEASE REPORT THE NEWS. CANT COUNT ON FOX OR MSNBC TO BE NON-PARTISAN PLEASE REPORT THE NEWS.

Sure, it was deceptive. The ad makes her look like she went against the tide and against Ted Stevens. Truth is she was for it, took the money for it, kept the money, and then when she saw it was being blasted by all sides, said she was against it.

It shows she is not a maverick, but rather the worst kind of politician.

Like we need more of that.

Of course she was against it, after she was for it. A lie is a lie is a lie. And by the way, she may have finally dumped the idea but she didn't return the money either.

It's a sad day in America when the American people can't see what is happening here. The Republicans continue to take the LOW road with their snide comments, outright lies and mudslinging while the Democrats take the high road. What happened to "good Christian values"! The Republicans certainly aren't "practicing what they preach". What a bunch of hypocrites!

It doesn't even matter anymore what the truth is. People aren't informed enough to discern fact from fiction. If they just keep running the ad it WILL become the truth. Why aren't these things discussed more on the news?

Just another distortion by the Republicans. If the Democrats are serious about winning the White House they need to highlight
John Mcains voting record in the Senate, he has about 30 years there.
I read he voted against raising the minimum wage 19 times.
He voted against Webbs bill to raise education benefits for veterans.
Sure would be a clue to how he would act as president. I will never believe what these Republicans say to get elected. The Democrats need to hammer John Mccain on his record, it reflects what
George Bush wanted 90% of the time. He is not a "maverick at all
but just an ineffective Senator from the right-to-work state of arizona.

McCain is a shameful individual and so is Palin ...

Difference: at least Obama can admit that a policy he was against worked if it actually did work ...

McCain/Palin = lie about it more and scream louder that you were "right" when someone calls you on your lies about that policy...

Americans, please, we are smarter than this, are we not?

Palin is short for Palindrome MacLiar+Palin(drome) = George Bush+Dick Chenney whichever way you spell it just like Racecar you can read it from any angle and end up with the same result.

You bet the Obama camp and supporters are terrified. Terrified of
having a liar and an incompetent make it to the White House..
Hope the Press does its' job and doesn't succumb to fear of
the Republicans new face of Mcarthyism....
This woman is unqualified to do anything but gut Moose not our
country !

Look at the crying libs. hahahahaha, as for factcheck being bipartisan, there is tons of evidence that they have been misleading on pro-obama emails.

Go ahead and preach to the choir......no one is really listening. Some Americans don't want change, they want a pretty face. What they don't realize is when all the makeup has worn off......We still have the issues to deal with. The Republicans are so happy that they have a pretty face to look at to the point where they will jeopardize their children and grandchildren's future. But have no fear; GOD is in control. Hang in there. I know the end of the story.......WE WIN!

To Jason and others trying to make Lemonade out of lemons....She has been caught time and time again flat out lying!

- She did not "Ultimately see it for what it's worth"...in fact she supported it and ANOTHER bridge project while she was campaigning in 06' right up until it was killed in Aug 07'. The state, however, never gave back any of the money that was originally earmarked for the Gravina Island bridge. In fact, the Palin administration has spent "tens of millions of dollars" in federal funds to start building a road on Gravina Island that is supposed to link up to the yet-to-be-built bridge.

- Her earmarks per capita are some of the highest in the nation.

- Her office is currently under investigation for Abuse of Power.

-She recently stated that Freddic Mac and Fannie Mae have grown too big and are costing taxpayers too much...These are private institutions that were not funded by taxpayer money until yesterday.

The above items contradict everything she has said or swears to be.

The only reason she is generating any interest at all is because nobody knows a thing about her and the McCain camp is hoping that the public is too lazy and stupid to do the leg work.

But it is obvious as time goes on, she will be exposed and the interest will where off on this novelty/gimmick as it is impossible to bring someone who says "What does a VP even do" up to speed in 2 months.

It is important to learn the facts before shooting off one's mouth. Many who have commented above have not learned this basic rule. How many have even seen the ad in question?

There is a saying that generally we deserve what happens to us. After electing George Bush for two terms which has resulted to

a) huge budget deficit,
b) going to a completely unnecessary war which has cost us billions of dollars, and thousands of killed and injured Americans,
c) loosing our credibility around the world, even among our allies
d) loosing our houses and investments

guess what we are going to do? We are going to vote for McCain.
I guess we deserve what has happened to us. Change does not come from the sky it comes from us.

Congratulations! Let's vote McCain for another four years of living in misery/

If mccain get elected that just shows how dumb americans are

And Obama was AGAINST WIRETAPPINg until he thought he might be president. Then he was FOR WIRETAPPIJNG because he thought he might be able to use it to spy on his opponets. Lets be 100% honest if you demand that we be 100% honest.

So this will be their tactic. they will lie and say everything they are doing to destroy America the dems are doing. They will lie... why because it works, because we are the people that voted for Bush twice, because if you remember, he said he was going to be a reformer and compasionate conservative. Have you seen Palen's record on civil rights..... by by civil rights. She vetoed hate crime legislation

Folks, please, make better use of your time instead of responding to the comments sections of this site and others...If you truly want to elect Obama/Biden now is the time for action on your part...individually and collectively come together...volunteer for the campaign, donate some spare change, phonebank, block walk, hold a debate party, anything and everything...there's only 60 days left and real change is in our hands. Thank you!

My question: Did she keep the money? I understand being for it and then against it. Did Alaska get the earmark money for the bridge? I'm unclear.

PALIN AND MCCAIN ARE FRAUDS

PLAIN AND SIMPLE

Did you know that the church she has attended for years is having a conversion meeting for anyone who is gay and who wants to become straight?

Palin did support the bridge and used the money ,instead, for other things after she became governor-If the Democrats want to win they had better realize the Republicans are fighting,lying, cheating, groveling in the dirt and doing whatever it takes to win-Staying above the fray is a loser idea-Call a pig a pig and not a silk purse. Hopefully Americans would do a little of their own research in the era of the internet but don't count on it. Who was it who said -Many are too stupid to be governed and are lemmings leaping off the cliff. This election is too important to lose to the Republicans which has in essence become a Christian religious party.

She, Palin has lied since she opened her pit bull mouth. She lied unabashedly at the convention and that was very troubling that she did it so easily. All of mccain's ad's are lies, especially the one where he says Obama will tax middle income families. BLATANT Lie! But then mccain said he would do whatever it took to win showing us that he is power hungry just like his pit bull running mate. Only in a Rethiglican America is a black man who is a Constitutional Law Scholar, who served 8 yrs as State Senator and 4 yrs as US Senator and served on the Foreign Intelligence Committee not ever considered ready to lead but a white evangelical ultra conservative woman, with a BA in Journalism and 19 mos as Governor considered ready on day one. BTW Barack, you are my hero for your community service and don't let paliar tell you any different.

All I can say is that if McCain should win, we'd all better hope he is taking longevity pills. He rails against Obama's 'lack of experience' and then choses a pretty runningmate who probably thinks Georgia is in the good old US of A. International stature??? Statesmanship? Has she even READ the Constitution, let alone knows what a constitution is and isn't? It's obvious that she's a slow study, since she hasn't figured out that abstenance 'education' leaves one sexually illiterate and.. um... expecting.
This is one older woman who finds that choice of VP enough to demonstrate that McCain should remain in the Senate where his lack of judgment might be diluted.

Shouldn't both parties promise to end pork spending? Are there any Americans in support of it?

Oh sure, the Republicans are all liars and the Demogods never do. Repeat after me "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Both parties are worthless.

Everything I read says she initially was for the bridge and then decided against it. The federal grant was reallocated to do with as she wanted and she kept the money. I sure wish the politicians would be totally truthful during their campaigns. In order to find all of the truth you have to REALLY dig. I have REALLY dug on the Palin thing and she is just a glamorous diamond to get McCain elected. Otherwise she is no different and offers no change. I am an independendent and will be voting for Obama – Biden. Put that in your polls and count it.

The right wing hawk has simply no shame. People liked the Bush lies so they will like hers.

Don't believe the McSame-Palin Hype......we have suffered enough with these Repugs...EIGHT IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....WAKE UP PEOPLE...Let the Repugs know, we're MAD AS HELL AND WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!..No Moose Killing....Ebay Selling..Shotgun wedding mother in law. and POW story telling , Warmongering old dude for the unpteenth time will help our country!!!!!!!!!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE..NOT THE REPUGS!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that Obama hasn't done alot of stretching of the truth. I hear there are news reports quoting her as being against the bridge early on. I think this is a sign that the Obama campaign is in disarray. If Obambi had have picked Hillary (who should really be the nominee) as VP it wouldn't have left this opening for McCain. Noe it's the Mccain campaign that's new and exciting. I know CNn is ignoring the gallup poll which has McCain up by 6 points and up by 9 points among likely voters. Time to start paninicking, Obamabots.

These are the people from the same cut of cloth that said there were WMD's in Iraq, that Iraq was part of the attack of the United States, that were selling weapons to the Contra Rebels bought by Drug money from drug sales in the United States, I can on and on about Republicans. You would think that McLie and Paliar would be smart enough to quit trying to convince us that this BS is true, knowing that the facts state otherwise. Now as I have said in the past, I know both have staff to do this for them in most cases, YOU NEED TO FIRE YOUR STAFF AND DROP OUT THE RACE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE SOME DIGNITY MCLIE AND PALIAR. Is there anydoubt that these two will lose badly on November 4th. This is just the begining folks, let's see how more ignorant McAttack and the Mutt becomes. Sad just Sad. I do want to thank both of them for securing the Presidency for Obama. At least they can do something right.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

-Joseph Goebbels

It's scary to think on what these two will do should they win. I feel if that happens then the worst is yet to come. One thing though she sure is energizing the GOP. So the choice is substance or novelty.

CNN, do your job! Don't be partisan, but REPORT THE FACTS.

NO MORE HYPOCRISY!!!!!

You lefters just kill me! Obama's an empty suit. He's got nothing. Can't wait to hear you all cry foul come November. Whiners.

I'm happy that someone has decided to call this character exactly what she is, a LIAR.

Like Obama said, "they must think you're stupid or something."

OBAMA NEEDS TO FIRE THAT IDIOT BURTON. HE IS A MORON!!!

After all the negative stuff the Republicans tried to pull on America about Obama’s experience, change and hope they give us Palin (when McCain is 72) ? Strangely, with less than 60 days remaining, they decide to make their campaign about change? Hmmm, Obama wished he thought of “change” too. Just too funny!

Palin is still using her training wheels as she is not allowed to talk to the media.

Obama & Biden are all over the circuit, answering really tough questions and looking very good to boot!

When I look at the VP picks it leaves me with the feeling that Obama is the true candidate that puts Country before Gimmick!!!

Cnn – I'd like to know why you are NOT calling in the accuracy of the McCain Ad. She gave interview after invterview where she was in favor of the bridge to nowhere. When it became unpopular and would hurt her career, she flip flop. But she sure as heck took the money for it and kept it. Its about time you people started doing your jobs instead of just reporting for ratings. Failure of the media to actually do their jobs is what got us George W. Bush not once, but freakin twice!!!

am not a American,,,,but i think Americans are toying in the wrong way,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mrs palin is a fruad and with time you guys will see the truth,no press for her because the mccain camp are afrid of what the press will ask her,, well imagine she being the president.can`t even think about her with putin. pls American don`t let the rest of the world look you guys as a big joke.

Here we go again, the republicans will lie through their teeth to try to convince un Americans they can govern, when we see the results of the last eight years have been a disaster and if McCain gets into the Whitehouse we will have the same lies and more tax cuts for the rich for our children to pay off.

Our parents gave us a chance a better life than they had, but if republicans get the Whitehouse the national debt will keep ballooning at the rate of 1.4 billion dollars a day or worse. We cannot afford to put another republican in the Whitehouse, especially now.

I can't wait for McCain and Palin to be put on the spot. That's when people are going to hopefully open their minds and realize what the republican party is all about. They would say anything and do anything to try and get elected.

McCain and Palin will have their day to address the false remarks they have made and let's watch them try to talk theirselves out of their own lies.

McCain and Palin a ticket for DISASTER!!

She came out against the bridge after it was a forgone conculsion that it would not be funded, however, what was the final balance of the Alaskan pork that year, it was very substanstail to say the least. Half truth at very best. Better luck next time.

Hillary said it correct! No Way-No How-No McSame and Co.

Gee, Republicans that lie. Now there is a novelty. America is trapped in corruption.

Changing ones mind on a issue is not the issue
with the controversy over the Bridge to Nowhere.
Palin is trying to create this maverick persona from the BtN project. When Palin says 'I told Congress to keep their money" but did actually receive the money. She is no maverick and neither is McCain. If McCain really was a maverick the he would have picked his solid number one choice, Mr.Leiberman

The only swaggering lier I see is Obama,who changes his mind like the wind. He ask his polls before making a statement of belief.

The McCain campaign cherry-picks over what to tell the voters. They really have to be selective.....McCain's voting past supports GW Bush....McCain's policies for the next four years would be a repeat of the past eight years........NO THANKS!

AMERICA has suffered enough!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

Yes...we are definitely a smart country....it isn't every day, that a country goes bonkers over over a woman and a baby, and decide that they will vote them into office. Poor McCain, sounds like he is being booted to second place on this ticket. New ticket should read "Palin, baby, and McCain.

The insanity!

Obama and the democrats had better aggressively define McCain and Paulin before it becomes too late. The public seems to listen to the best smooth talker, not the realities on ground.

TELL A LIE THOUSAND TIMES AND IT BECOMES FACTUALLY TRUE.

THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN WAY.

Ah, it is beginning. The Democrats, as their situation becomes more and more desperate, will now resort to the old tactics of insinuation, lies, and targeting their opponents rather than presenting their own doomed programs. The polls are now beginning to reflect what the arrogant DNC has created with their dictatorial management. The polls are now beginning to reflect what will be a Republican victory in November. PUMAs will help in this victory and I am one. McCain/Palin in 08!!!!!!!

McCain doesn't have any guts, and he shouldn't get the glory. Sarah is not a game changer because she brings nothing to the ticket but liptstick and big hair. She a zero and we will win this election. Why? Because in the end Americans will vote in their best interest. They will vote for the candidate of Warren Buffet and the Kennedy's. They never let America down, and they never will.

What else would you expect from these people. They will lie, cheat, beg, borrow, steal or kill to win. The thoughts of Ms. Palin one heartbeat away from the Presidency sends cold chills down my spine. As far as these polls go, who in God's name are they polling? They certainly arent' polling me or any of my friends and I doubt any of the millions of people who voted in the Democratic primaries or anyone with a cell phone!!! America, this is our chance to really change things – don't blow it with more of the same!

Obama/Biden 08

Does not suprise me that they are all liars. Karl Rove taught them how and we should expect more lies. The American people are not stupid but the repubs think we are.

This woman is a total joke. The Obama campaign is so strategic. They will win because they expose every lie this woman is telling the American people. I was taught a half-truth is a whole lie. My students in Middle school know that this woman is a fraud and a liar. Why can't Republican Christians see this? I am a Christian and I am ashamed that this woman is being heralded as a model for Christian women. Liar, no integrity, poor mother. Shame on you!!!
Obama/Biden 08

Oh Boy America, I can't believe you are even considering replacing Bush and Bushwhacker with McKen and Barbie and attack dog "Rove"er. However, everyone loves a circus and while your standing in the world is still in the cellar, you at least remain the "entertainment " capitol of the world. Keep it up, it's great comic releif.

This woman is disqusting! She is a hypocritical whiner.....

Looks like the Obama/Ayers team is going to lose in November... woohoo!! Hillary 2012 !

Much of what the republicans do is paint the picture they want to project and spend very little time worrying about the facts and fallacies behind their words.

So to all of you who are sick of hearing people telling you lies and trumped up half truths, I encourage you to do whatever you can to help Obama get into office. We're looking at polls that are dead even...this can't happen to us again.

Mccain does not care what the truth is. He has learned well from watching Rove and the swift boat attacks He is another Bush. If I say it enough it becomes the truth. I am deeply saddened to see the American public is buying into this ridiculous Mccain campaign. People she is nothing more then a gimmick and your going to give her the second set of keys to the White House. May your children be the first drafted into McCain's next war.

Does McBush and McPalin think Americans are stupid?.....
Palin basically Lies...or she is the biggest Flip Flopper since McLoser.

CNN,

Why not have a poll of the number of Americans that will MOVE OUT OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY, if Mr. McWalkingCane and Ms. Pitbill get into office.

You can count us in for 2 votes here!

Sarah Palin lies through her teeth and pretends to be a saint.

people lets step back an look at her record the one thing that i fine so bad is my family has a speical need child two . in her own state she cut 62% for them , my wife say know ,seance she is the vp pick she for it speical need, but not in your own state that call that flip flop an we are glad we don't stay in a state where 62% of the funding is cut for my family. buy the way my wife (rep) but she wont vote for them on that note, she going for real change

Is it because Palin is a female that she can tell untrue stories? And everybody seems to believe? This sounds like decorating cupcakes to me! The worse the cupcake the better you try to make it look.

Gov. Palin seems to be also the new sweet heart for the media.

What in the world is WRONG with some Americans? People are looking down on Barack Obama because of the color of his skin, and not looking at big picture! Yes, Obama was a community origanizer, and that doesn't make him qualified to run for president.? It shows that he cares for the American people.

THE GOP MADE FUN OF OBAMA LIKE BIG BULLIES! SHAME ON THEM! LAUGHED AT HIM LIKE WHAT HE DID WAS A BIG JOKE! SHAME ON THEM! AND SOME OF YOU THINK THAT IS OK! SHAME ON YOU! People WAKE THE H**L UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE FULL OF LIES AND DECEIT! THEY ARE ONLY OUT FOR THE RICH! THEY SAY WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO SAY! AND THEY ARE SO MANIPULATIVE WITH THEIR WORDS, ONLY AN EDUCATED PERSON WILL CATCH THEM! WAKE THE BLANK UP AMERICANS!!!! WHAT DID MCCAIN DO FOR YOU?BESIDES SERVING IN THE MILITARY 30 PLUS YEAR AGO? YES HE IS AN AMERICAN HERO, AND THANK GOD FOR SERVING HIS COUNTRY! BUT THAT DOESN'T QUALIFY HIM TO BE PRESIDENT. IF THAT IS THE CASE ALL OTHER MILLIONS OF VETERANS ARE QUALIFIED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. I DON'T THINK SO!

YOU WILL NOT HURT OBAMA IF HE IS NOT ELECTED PRESIDENT, BECAUSE OBAMA IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. HE IS LIVING A COMFORTABLE LIFE. YOU ARE HURTING YOURSELVES! DON'T LOOK AT COLOR, LOOK AT THE TRUE HEART OF A PERSON, AND WHAT THEY CAN TRULY DO FOR YOU! STOP LOOKING AT HOW PRETTY A PERSON IS, AND HOW SWEET THEIR VOICE SOUNDS. PLEASE LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE!

STOP MCCAIN AND PALIN BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!

And, Obama, never flip flops! C'mon people – wake up!

Its about time they called her on it. Now how about calling the her
on the ebay lie.
Call her on her lies and her so call experience and dont forget the
nasty remark about community organizer comment.
Dont trust this lady she talks a little to much about other in order to make herself look good no honesty there.

Obama and his words are getting old.. He also picked Joe, what kind of change is that?

From Clinton, now to McCain.

LET'S TOGETHER CHANGE THE REPUBLICAN WAY, AND THE WORLD!

she was for earmarks before she was against them. She was for abstinence before she was proud of promiscuity. She was for the oil industry before she took 'em on. She was in the hip pocket of indicted Sen. Ted Stevens (R) before she was against him. She stabbed Hillary in the back before she praised her. She praised Obama before she stabbed him in the back. She was for taking on the ole boys network and establishment before she was the same ole boys network establishment. She was for unions before she was against them. She was for the bridge before she was against it. She likes to quip that she is like a pitbull in lipstick; Where i am from there is a saying "you can put lip stick on a pig and its still a pig!"

The problem with this country is NOT Democrats or Republicans. It's US the citizens and voters. Somehow we have gotten it into our heads that we must choose from only 2 political parties and that one is better than the other for this reason or that reason. The truth is we shouldn't be so worried about whether or not someone is a Democrat OR a Republican. Your vote should go to the person you believe will do the best job based on their prior decisions/experieces. Voting for someone just because you prefer their political party is irresponsible and ignorant. We should all do our research and then make our decisions and stop focusing on which party is better or which one did what to whom. If we elect officials based on merit and not on political party maybe we can resolve some of the issues this country is facing.

America '08

Pretty much all Palin has been doing since she landed on the national stage is lie.

People wake up! Embracing Sarah Palin is just an excuse NOT to vote for Obama. It does not matter if she is inexperienced and that her views are not the views of most Americans just so long as Obama does not make it to the White House. This is just pathetic and McCain has the little man syndrome which is why he continues to milk his POW days for all that it is worth. Shame on you John McCain!

Typical white lady for Obama!

This Pallin character has got more investigations going on than Swiss cheese has holes. she's not even in office yet and there's yet another investigation on her about obstructing justice in an investigation. I've never seen so many right wing fanatics wanting to put this YO~Yo into office. She makes Conservatives look liberal compared to things she wants to cram down our throats. I would be very afraid of her. Im no woman but when someone tells me that you get raped and end up pregnant you deserved it. for pallin's own abortion beliefs. She wanted to fire the head of the Alaskan Library because they refused to not ban certain books. Funny I’ve never seen her way a flag pen either...she under investigation for wanting to fire the head of DPS for not firing the man who was married to her sister. she gets into office this country will be in serious trouble

I don't understand why newspapers and tv stations keep printing and showing these lies. They know the facts and they should always put a disclaimer when these commercials are aired. It should be in big Red letters stating the true facts. Eventually, there will be enough Americans who will get sick of these ads and demand that the truth be always shown on their airwaves. Wake up AMERICA, the Republicans have been doing this for years and when they get caught they always blame the Democrats. Can you imagine people who say they are Christians and revel in the slime. It looks like we are going to have many more sons and daughters dying in unnecessary Republican Wars. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!

At least she found better use for the money!

Hillary supporter for McCain! McCain 2008!

Independent Voter: "non-partisan group like factcheck.org "

This group has listed Obama lies and exaggerations, and policy swithces as well. You might want to actually read through the website if you are truly independent.

And also check out gp.org to see how liberal Obama is (NOT).

Does anyone here honestly think the Obama campaign is going to come out and say "Yeah, _____ ad by the McCain camp is true?" Or, better yet, does anyone here honestly think that either political party is going to release an ad that is 100% true?

No news here folks. Just politics as usual. Move along, move along.

Why was Obamas wife's salary tripled the year he became a senator and started earmarking funds to her employer? Cnn wants to look into scandals then maybe they should check that one out....also check out the corrupt Chicago political machine that got Obama elected....just might take some of that shine off of Obama if people opened their eyes and looked in the right places. As Americans we deserve to know where our tax dollars are going..all candidated need to be completely checked out, not just Palin. Obama never should have gotten his parties nomination...it should have went to Hilary, she was the better candidate.

I saw the McCain ad RIGHT AFTER the local Cleveland news reported that Palin did not try to stop the bridge to nowhere, and that after the bridge deal was cancelled, the state was still offered the same millions of dollars and she said yes and took it. Some maverick.

Yes getem Obama.......

Obama/Bidem the only hope 4 this country,,,,,,

Ihope america looks past race and gender...
and see that Obama/Biden are the right ones for this country

Obama/Biden 08

Nobody says a candidate can't change their mind unless the change is back and forth or unless like in this case, the claim of being a reformer, or for being a staunch reason the bridge was halted turns out to be a lie.

Say you changed your mind but don't claim this was your firm stand from the beginning that PROVES you are a reformer. That's just not the truth. But that supposes that Republicans care about the truth. The only thing Republicans care about is power and they will kill their grandmothers to get it or keep it, so don't let a lie get in the way of a good story to support the BIG LIE about reform.

I just don't see HOW the race could possibly be this close when it is SOOO obvious that we need a different party in the Whitehouse!!! It really makes me question my belief in people!

Sarah Palin is apparently one of those people who believes if you keep telling a lie over and over it will eventually become true. She must be a student of the "George W. Bush Purty Good School of Government", where this line of thinking is drummed into its followers' heads relentlessly by Karl Rove.

Over My Dead Body (September 8th, 2008 1:56 pm ET):

"She and McCain will be the cause of a war that no one on this planet will survive. Do not let these warmongering sadists ruin what little hope we have left."

Oh my God, and liberals blame conservatives of using scare tactics? *LOL*

Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman VP and was a democrat. You people get inform before who say such thing that this is the greatest history for women since suffrage. No it isn't; I wonder if geraldine ferraro nomination as first woman VP in the history of US was not matter. People are very inform and saying such things makes people want to laugh at your one sided republican guts. Geraldine ferraro first woman nominate VP, Hillary Clinton first woman to run for the presidency as a front runner for quite a long time and these folks are Democrats. No way, no how, No mcCain son of George Bush.
We were waiting for a savior to save our country we found Bush as Americans personal savior. Now Bush as a god that kill and distroy economy will send McCain his son to finish the job. No way, No how, No McCain.

hey where is the report about obama and biden voting against rerouting earmark money to katrina aid. guess they figured those rich folks benefitting from the earmarks needed the money more than the people of nola and the gulf coast.

Gov. Palin, please give the $300 million back to the feds. They need it for Fannie and Freddie. Oh, you spent the pork money. I guess you are for pork after all.

Pork barrell spending will be a definate issue for McCain and Palin, and Obama has a warehouse full of ear marked Pork Barrell spending, why wouldn't he be nerveous! The only bridge to nowhere is the one that Obama and his supporters are attempting to build. Wahhhhh, wahhhhhhh, wahhhhhhh, that's the democratic way.

Why don't the Republicans run an ad on how Alaska has the worst high school drop out rate in the nation. Their educational system is one of the worst in the country. Or better yet, run an ad on how when Sarah was mayor of Wasilla, she left that city $22million in debt, or better yet find that waitress who says she called Barack Obama "Sambo," after he became the presumptive nominee. I am not sure how much Obama needs to do to "counter" the Palin "surge." It looks like her record will catch up with her and she may simply self destruct.

This is the most bizarre case of "THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES" we have seen in years. Palin was not qualifed for the job she has....she is certianly not qualified for VP..and yet her party is rushing around gushing over her....but she is STILL NOT QUALIFIED. And guess what, WE ARE NOT BLIND AND STUPID..she was Gov. McFailing and will not get to be our veep....this is sheer lunacy. Ya'll can run around all day long gushing over her, but she is NOT QUALIFIED ....and you Repubs NEVER WOULD HAVE CHOSEN HER IF MCCAIN HAD NOT FORCED HER DOWN YOUR THROATS. SO WHY BE BROWBEATEN INTO THE PARTY LINE.
PALIN IS WORSE THAN BUSH.

She was nailed with something that didn't get through Congress. I wonder how many media and website outlets researched this question. How many have noted that the sale of the jet on E-Bay never happened. It was true that it was posted on E-Bay but never sold there. It was half true; plane was sold; just not the way people think.

To call these two the original mavericks does a disservice to the founding fathers. They saw that there was a problem with the monarchy from England. They planned for a new government so that all of the people could be represented. Those were mavericks because they said everyone could have a voice.

How can we fall for this again? America will reap what she sows..We are in for PAIN if we elect McCain/Palin...C'mon America let's wake up and turn the page on this Bush-McCain Doctrine of lying, non-transparent government!

Politicians change their positions on things all the time and there is nothing wrong with that as long as it's done for a good reason. I don't see how Obama can effectively use a reverse-position strategy on McCain/Palin as that would surely draw attention to his and Biden's numerous flips, especially Biden's most famous – that he clearly stated Obama is not qualified to be president. Biden didn't change his position on that issue until he became the vice presidential nominee.

"Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie"

– just like they continue to repeat using the same music in which five artists have told them not too. (I know there are many more examples of lying but this one irks me especially.)

Do you really think they care at this point whether they are lying to you or not? Their number one goal is to keep the White House. That's it and they'll do whatever to whoever and not look back.

And what's with MSM all of a sudden? Now you're going to pander to McCain because the big bosses are losing big money from republican investors. Sorry, but KO and CM are the only two journalists that have ever come close to speaking for me. It's about time too. I for one have been quiet to long. If they don't cover the rest of the election, I will be watching CSPAN, and I encourage others to do the same.

This is just another prime example of how the Democrats are running scared. They thought the "community organizer" had it all sewed up. The Democrats and their liberal, leftist, socialistic, and communistic media, (CNN, MSNBC, and NBC) are afraid of Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin.

A Republican is lying, how is that possible, that can't be true. Please if John Mcfuddy is talking he is lying.

I still say that Obama/Biden should use in it's commercials the "Viet Nam veterans against John McCain" stuff that is floating around on the internet. I have no way of knowing if any of it is actually true but so what? The republicans had no qualms about using the "swift boat veterans for truth" in the 2004 elections. I read that most of the "swift--" spiel was proven false before the actual election but it had already done the dirty work for putting the Texas "idiot" back in office. If your opponent is going to play in the mud you have to risk getting some of it on your own hands.

The next time a prosecutor challenges an individual for doing something illegal, the correct response is to point out that the prosecutor is making "hysterical attacks".

The McCain camp is so morally corrupt that they cannot admit they made a mistake, or were taken out of context, or misspoke. "Hysterical attacks!"

The M$M are being fair and balanced and have become cowed by the McCain camp thereby being unwilling to ask valid questions. "Hysterical attacks!"

well, enough of this nonsense...

WE are going to win.
and if people are actually foolish enough to vote McCain into office, then they will end up getting EXACTLY what they deserve when he screws us even further...

Folks, take a look at FactCheck.Org and see for yourself. Palin has been on the National Scene for Only 2 weeks and she's already building an impressive resume of lies.

The GOP is the irrelevant party of the past, and the proof is in the truth.

Obama / Biden 08!

Obama, listen don't pay those two lying idiots no mind. Any body who chose to vote for this lying pair, deserve what they would get. America can see what the republicans did tto this country. everyone is losing their homes, our kids are dying in iraq, please wake up america, don't for God's sake don't put the republicans back again to finish us off.

Obama is getting desparate... he is attacking her because she has more executive experience than he and Biden combined...

The Democrats are going to regret what they did to Hillary!!

Hillary or McCain/Palin 08

Somebody please tell me how these polls can change daily?
Who is being polled, and just how accurate are the polls?
Something seems amiss here.

"not entirely accurate". That implies some truth. Yes?

So when did CNN decide they loved Palin? I like how this morning they had some audio "problems" with Biden's rally, but then when Caribou Barbie and Grandpa Munster stumped and lied in Missouri, the audio worked just fine. It seems that every single story out lately is about Palin, and none of them are about Palin's serious judgment problems in both her personal and professional lives.

This is just like when Hillary Clinton complained about the media back in March. CNN immediately backed off, giving huge stories to Clinton and trashing everything about Obama they could find. Always giving in to the whiners, eh CNN?

IF Bush Jr ( McCain ) gets voted in, all I can say is "shame on us "
What with McCain's health record, it could happen that we'd end up in a few months or so with another dinwitt (Palin) for our leader! I cannot believe that our people would even consider such a Politicallly ignorant person to be vice Press. I truley hope that that move on McCanes part is a susidal move on his part .
COME ON AMERICANS,.WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!

I hope Obama-Biden know what they are up against!! A "Barracuda"
taught, every lasting moment by the likes of KARL ROVE.

Believe me, Sarah will be taught exactly what to say and she WILL
do very well.

Unfortunately, no truth, all lies.

Obama-Biden 2006-16

All these polls supposedly showing them tied are nonsense, nothing but the media trying to hype up another story. They're all done by telephone but they don't call cellphones. Many younger voters (more of them probably Obama supporters) don't have land-lines anymore. You can't trust these polls and as we've seen you can't trust the press to do anything but churn out fodder to generate interest, caring nothing for issues.

This race likely isn't nearly as close as it's being reported.

Everyone knows she was for it before wshe was against it, and she still keep the money of all that PORK. OBAMA need to get dirty, this election will not be won by been nice, that kiddy glove need to get some dirt on it. We can't keep trying to do the right thing, we have to tell the truth forcefully. McCain campaign is following the script of BUSH. OBAMA's campaign need to follow the Clinton script and that script beat the GOP twice. We have the funding advantage, it is funny that McCain who have 85 million is attacking so much, there is something fishy going on and I believe the GOP/RNC are doing some illegal fundraising etc. There are about to be the September 11 ad to attack OBAMA and september 11 was in 2001, now isn't that more fear. Every election cycle we have these FACIST stuff going on. Now, Cheney is over in Europe talking to people and will feed those conversation to McCain. OBAMA needs to wake up. I am now wondering if he played right into the GOP hand with not selecting Hillary? We will have to play hard or go home in November, this election is ours to loose!

As a woman, Palin scares me to death!!!!! She will knock women back 50 years. People need to look at what she is saying and not that she wears a skirt. That goes for Obama and Biden. They need to take her on as an opponent – not worry about offending women. I know people who believe everything that is said on television if it is repeated over and over again. Guess Karl Rove was right. Say it enough and it becomes a truth.

People need to view your video on Palin giving speech in the Pentacostal church. Here's a woman raised in a church that speaks tongue and believes everyone is going to move to Alaska when the world ends which is what they believe is happening.

Also google e-mail sarah palin. Interesting. Why don't some of the newscasters interview this woman to see if she is telling the truth.

Mccain is just like a weather cock, which turns in the direction the wind is blowing. Looks like he is a greedy power hungry old fellow who wants to be president at any cost and whatever it takes for him to speak. With one leg in the grave, I think he should retire and shut his mouth otherwise people will knw that he is more idiot than Bush.

I really don't know what to say about some Americans. You have Republicans who continue to lie to their faces, and the race is a dead heat. What more proof do you need that the Republican ideals are not going to get US out of the mess we are in? Were the past 8 years not enough evidence? You have a Democrat (in Barack) who believes in both personal and fiscal responsibility, and utilizing government where it makes sense, like education and healthcare. He also has a sound energy plan to get us off of oil completely, not just continue to put a patch on the problem. It's about time America starts thinking long-term, instead of patching real problems with quick fixes that end up putting America further in the hole economically and environmentally.

Duh of course its filled with lies... That is what the republicans do best.. I hear tons of lies which they just keep repeating and hoping it will be true. After the George Bush lies and lies from Palin and McCain during and after the convention, it is clear that they are indded more of the same we have not which is horrible. I am voting for real change that we can believe in.. Eight is enough as my wallet cant afford four more years. With McCain's plan I will pay more taxes, with Obama's plan I will pay less taxes.. The convention speechs said alot and if you dont believe me go research McCain speech vs Bush speech at the conventions.. They sound the same to me so what maverick are you speaking of it sure isnt Palin or McCain..

Obama/Biden 08

Wow, just like Obama was FOR meeting dangerous nation's leaders with NO strings attached. Now he's not. People change their mind. Ultimately she was against the bridge. Stop bashing her experience. It just reflects poorly at the top of the Dems ticket.

America PLEASE wake-up!

McCain-Palin (or do I say Bush-Cheney II) will be a nightmare for the United States of America (a country that I truly LOVE); and could reduce our wonderful land to a second-tier country.

PLEASE PLEASE Palin is so scary to be a heartbeat away.

We canNOT be fooled again!

Obama/Biden 08/12

Our reputation world wide is at an all time low, but now we are becoming a laughing stock, because of old man McCain's irresponsible choice of VP. How dare he jeopardise the welfare of the country in this way. He is too old to be President, she is so unqualified.
And how can anyone with an ounce of intelligence vote for a third Bush term, which would guarantee the continual decline of this country.

I love Sarah's lipstick. Does anyone know what shade she wears?

John + Sarah = White House

Palin you a lier and you earmark in Alaska when you were a mayor of a small town. Palin I dont trust you and you going make McCain lose the election

The sheer stupidity of AMERICANS never cease to amaze even the dumbest in the world!! Keep letting the morons in this country decide the next president and be prepared to deal with the consequences. We deserve everything we get!

What about the $750 million in earmarks from Palin the last two years for a state that has significantly fewer citizens than Illinois.

The Republicans are the epitome of hypocrisy.

MOST OF THE WOMEN SUPPORTING MCCAIN BECUASE OF PALIN OR JUST HAVING A WOMAN ON THE TICKET NEEDS TO PAY ATTENTION TO HILLARY TODAY.

HILLARY CERTAINLY WILL TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MCCAIN PALIN'S POLICIES AND OBAMA.

MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE LYING EVERY DAY AND SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING CARRIED AWAY WITH IT.

SAD BUT TRUE.

I love it when the dem's attack women! Dems, what is it you have against powerful women politicians? Ha Ha!!!!

What the article doesn't say is that she took the money, even after switching sides to come out against the bridge when she knew it was doomed. TOOK THE MONEY. Come on, CNN, where is THAT fact checking?

I surely hope this so-called bounce for McCain is a temporary lunacy.

Between this and the firing of the librarian, and the anti-sex ed, anti-evolution, etc... It's a sad story if these two are elected.

McCain/Palin = the end of the separation of Church and State (Read: the end of the USA)

Obama/Biden '08

Facts have a liberal bias.

Well maybe we can get the truth out of Palin if she ever woman's up and does a press interview. What a wuss!

I use to vote democrat or independent on each and every race. Then I saw the Obama supporters in action. Now I examine each and every candidate. I look at their real position. Are they 'extremeists' like the Obama/Biden ticket (I mean come on, the most liberal senator and 3rd most liberal senator, only because the 2nd was kenedy and kenedy is dying).

So, you obama supporters with your hate and vile behavior has convinced me that extremeism is worthless in this country. I vote centrist now. Those represanitives that break from party line the most get my vote.

I guess that means I'll be voting for the Dem on the County Comminsioner ballot and Repub on the Presidential ballot. Not a hard choice considering the people running.

So when you loose the presidency (and obama will loose based on his extremeist views), you can stop being extreme in your views and wake up to the fact that Clinton would have been a shoe-in for the presidency (she is a centrist too).

Sshe also says she sold her states plane on ebay. ALSO A LIE

She also states that the Iraq war is Gods' plan. Watch the video on you tube!!!

Since when is George Bush our GOD???

That'll be the freakin' day.

this is all so sad, the way people have to lie and deceive others for their own personal gain. i know that there are those out there who know that God is in control and His will will be done in all this. this country is in such a mess and those who continue to mislead the people will indeed pay for their deceit. why are we working so hard at being so dIvided but still consider ourselves UNITED? we spend so much time on creating ways to seperate each other from one another and then we blame each other. Why is it so hard for all of us to just understand that if we remain divided that we will surly fall. What happended to United we Stand and Divided we FALL. The enemy is watching us beat the crap out of each other, we are making their job so easy. we need to pay more attention to each other as PEOPLE.

Obama's disciples have only one argument. BUSH=MCCAIN

what a joke

she was for the bridge while campaigning

ted stevens, the corrupt republican politician who was tied to the bridge, soon became a national story along with the bridge to nowhere

she changed her position...

but she kept the money

now she's lying about it.

wake up people!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

After the last eight years, I can't believe amicans are actually considering these two bullies to control our countries direction. How can you tell your children to pay attention to their teachers if you don't pay attention to your leadership. Bush-Cheney gave you every reason to not vot republican, and here you are considering it again. I said it before and I'll say it again, you get what you ask for!

Is it surprising that Palin will say and do anything? NO.

That's why you need a really strong presidential candidate.

Oh, well. The Dems would have one if the DNC didn't decide FOR us!

Did you loons miss this part: "Rogers also provided several press clips noting Palin became a critic of the bridge in her early days as governor of Alaska."

The left will say anything to win. We need to stop Barack Obama’s nearly $1 billion in earmark spending.

she was for it until she was against it.
and then, ah, she took the money though.
no mention of that any where.

The McCain campaign is doing a great job of hiding Sarah from the media. She should fit right in if she takes over as VP from Dick Chaney.

As a self proclaimed Pitbull Sarah causes watchers to wonder why she's so timid about facing the media – sounds like a Celebrity Pitbull!

People don't get it.. Republicans will do anything and say anything to gain control.

But lying is what the McCain camp does so well.

See you in November, John.

Obama 08

NO MORE INEPTITUDE IN THE WHITE HOUSE !

ENOUGH !

GO OBAMA / BIDEN

Someone said Palin is a racist. Well it's not as if we haven't had racist in the White House, or close to the White House before. I think she will be an excellent VP, and she doesn't need experience. John has the experience and she can reiterate what he says.

She's an excellent choice for women and she will be president by 2016.

McCain, Palin 08

These Republicans are such pigs-and Palin heads the list. Surely the American people can see through these anti-American, anti-Christian liars.

Once again, the McCain Camp thinks we are idiots. News Flash to the GOP...we have a little something called the internet...we can research these things for ourselves. We can see the lies as soon as they are told and yes...we can see WHO is telling the lies and we won't be fooled again. It doesn't matter what bump the GOP may be enjoying, it is small and will be short lived...or do we want a President and administration that lies to us...oh wait...we had that already for eight years...do really want four more?

SHE NEEDS TO RETURN BACK TO CONGRESS OVER $300M SHE WALLOPED FOR THIS BRIDGE.........IT IS FOOLISH TO LET HER OFF WITH LIES!

Just to change the subject...So the race is a tie so far. Eevryone smirked at McCain' s audiences of 10,000 and boasted of Obama's 75,000 and not to mention the the 200,000 in Germany. Be afraid Dems, be very afraid!

We allow people to say anything at all during a campaign.

They can lie or completely distort the truth. They can call each other names, mock and belittle each other. They can even manipulate media coverage.

We don't call them on it. We don't enforce any consequence.

We will get what we deserve. Truly saddening.

Well its the same-old same-old from the [R] party. Like WMD and all the other discredited lies they repeat for going into Iraq, the [R]s think if you say it over and over and over again, some in the public will start to believe it as truth. And why not; there are those out here with all the brains of a toy mouse who actually fall for the lies!!! How many neo-nuts out here are already repeating this already-discredited lie about Palin?

So thank you McCain for showing us that your "maverick" mantra is just a bunch of hooey. You are playing from the same old [R] playbook, where most of your policies are comming from too. Your team is caught in a lie, and what do you do? Like any good [R]ightwinger you go on the attack, you badmouth and blame your opponents for calling out the lie, and then you abandon any semblance intellectual integrity by continuing to defend it as truth.

The American electorate needs to wake up and send McCain and Palin on their own "bridge to nowhere".

I could not believe that these guys here saying she sold the plane on ebay. She said she put it on ebay to sell it. This does not mean she sold it on ebay. These liberals will do anything to tell a lie. Barack is also a liar.

"Rogers also provided several press clips noting Palin became a critic of the bridge in her early days as governor of Alaska."

Does this mean that she made campaign promises and then reneged on them after she took office? That she actually lied to her supporters?

Jason,

you are incorrect. When she was governor she was still for the bridge to no where. There is video of her claiming such on huffpost. She lobbied to receive earmarks to pay for it. ted stevens tried to receive the earmarks, but was short. She did not want Alasks to pay for the bridge so she did not build it. however, she kept the money instead of returning it to the federal goverment. It is documented that she was for it has governor. lets not try to turn it around to make her look like a hero for stopping the bridge to nowhere. she was all for it she did not receive the money for it.

Oh my oh my oh my......obama has now started on another woman....l suppose he thought the good old bunch of boys in congress and blogs jumped on his bandwagon against Hillary...now he is starting on Sarah Palin.

It seems to me he thinks because he is who he is not one person will say anything against him. It is about time he was set straight...STOP THE ATTACK ON WOMAN... EVER SINCE SHE WAS NOMINATED VP HE HAS ATTACKED ATTACKED ATTACKED HER.

Careful now...

September 8th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

So, it's OK for Obama to change his position based on more information, but it's not OK for Sarah Palin to change her position when she became governor.

-–

She didn't change her position – she LIED about her supposed actions. There's a huge difference – even a brain dead bufoon should see that. I guess tho, lying is an admirable trait in the GOP.

I saw this momentum coming when Barack Santa Claus O-blah-ma stomped on those 18 million Hillary votes. They see landslide coming and are obviously desperate. Pepole are not crazy adventurers, they will chose the kind of change the democrats in congress have not been able to achieve. That is whe they will vote for McCain plain and simple.

Democrats have to get mean!!! Come on Obama and Biden, expose these republicans turds for what they are!!

Who are these idiots still supporting the republican party?? Are Americans that stupid.....unfortunately the answer is yes!!

I see why republicans don't care about providing us with good schools and good education. When we become educated we start thinking for ourselves and quickly realize how stupid republican policies are and how damaging they are to ordinary Americans.

McCain is the SAME with Bush on economy, education, environment, health care, foreign policy! Our economy is crap, our education system is broken (I teach, I know!!!) and we are in two wars and the rest of the world hates us now. Why do you want more of that?? You republicans are idiots!!

Obamas ship is sinking fast the no experience hot air candidate has had his day and now Palin is here to deflate the big bag of ego hurray!

Jason – Read the article again. She was for the bridge when she was running for governor. She did not oppose the bid until she saw it was a disaster. So the ad is a LIE! Just like she lied about selling the plan on ebay.

Also to add, I am an undecided voter who everyday inches closer to voting for Obama/Biden because of the lies and disgust coming from the McCain/Palin campain.

In addition, what respectful woman allows herself to be called a "hot chick" on a campaign button? I see the women's movement rights moving back nearly 50 years.

Why doesnt CNN after playing these campaign stump speeches on both sides, stop the tape and say OK now lets check and see if this is true....Once in a while you do it but all too often, today included all three cable stations were playing the same old stump speech about earmarks. Why dont you use the "ticketer" and contradict the speech with facts! Its infuriating to those of us who actually spend time on "google" searches, and learn the truth ourselves and dont see reporters talking about it. its like noone wants to offend anyone in fear of losing an interview....We are deciding the most important election of my lifetime and my kids lifetime and you are not giving us all the facts on these people . I guess its true if you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth...I wish we had some reporters with backbone instead of worrying about who will get the best interview...

VOTE MCAIN...I MEAN BUSH AGAIN IF YOU WANT.....BUT DON'T YOU DARE COMPLAIN AFTERWARDS....WE HAVE SEEN WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE CAPABLE OF DOING..."NOTHING"....IN FOUR MORE YEARS WE'LL BE LUCKY IF WE CAN STILL HAVE THE WORD "GREAT" NEXT TO OUR NAME. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO CORRECT AN 8-YEAR MISTAKE MAKE THE BEST OF IT....

-GO OBAMA/BIDEN

All I can say is we deserve the people we elect.

If you want 4 more years of the same old bomb,bomb, war,war, ballooning deficit, high energy/gas prices, rampant inflation, depressing stock market, deteriorating environment, unaffordable health insurance, corporations with increasing power, by all means vote for McCain/Palin (or is it Palin/McCain?).

Vote Obama/Biden if you want this country to have a chance at coming out of this turmoil.

What do you expect from a campaign advised by Karl Rove? Rove proved with Bush that you can feed Americans lies because they're too lazy and ignorant to uncover the truth. Win or lose, Obama and Biden aren't going to lie in order to win an election. And as we saw with Bush/Cheney, the truth always comes out - hopefully not too late this time around.

Oh ... she can't change her mind? Obominable flip flops every day...the surge, taxes, etc.

Actually we were both for John McCain before we were against him.
For the first 71 years of his life he was a magnificent, independent-minded reformer, but then he became the Republican nominee for president and now he's becoming a totally different person......

President John McCain

Thats right! call it 4 what it is...A FAT LIE! THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS FULL OF LIARS! WAKE UP AMERICA!

Republicans may be lousy leaders but their deceptive campaign is what may keep them in the White House. Beware!

McShame is lying to and misleading the American people before he's even president. Just image what he'll do once he has that power...we've already been through 8 years of this...NO MORE!

Vote Obama-Biden!!

And men, stick by your families. It is called "lust" and you can't
have a barracuda. You can only "dream about it." Let it GO.

McSame-Pain

Four More years.

It really doesnt matter what the Republican's say, they always turn the campaign into a race about idologies, and smear and not the issues: Obama/biden would do good to get in the mud and call them on their lies. If mcCain/Palin win, by 2012 America will be in 3rd world status, as we are very close. Susan says on another post, 'we must win this war no matter how many lives it takes, yet just like all of the other Republican Cowards, she wont suit up! And I dont know of any american that wants America to lose this war, the issue is the lie that the president told that got us in to this war in the first place.

No Jason she was for it until it became politically unpopular and THEN she opposed it. I am under no allusions that all politicians don't stretch the truth whenever it is conveniant. I am however sick and tired of the current "Carl Rove" republicans and wan't my party back. Where oh where has my REAL John Mccain gone!

Real Republicans for OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Unfortunately most Republicans don't really care about anything but winning. What happens to the country or their wallets is irrelevant. Personally, I think those who are broke and still support McCain and Palin deserve to be broke, homeless and should be the ones who are sent to war to die for a bogus war.

For it before you are against it is NOT "I was against it". The more important piece is...

WHERE IS THE MONEY?????? WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO???? IF YOU WERE AGAINST IS SHOULDN"T THE MONEY HAVE GONE BACK.

CHARLIE GIBSON...ARE YOUR LISTENING??? WE WANT ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS!!!!!

Pitbulls are a stupid breed of dog aren't they?????????

I just can'nt understand how in world the American people would listen to the Republicans after the failure of the Bush Administration clearly we need to go in a new direction and we don'nt need Bush=Mccain or Cheney=Palin direction.The Only reform that Mccain/Palin is going to bring is to transform Bush/Cheney platform.

I don't understand how these people can flat out lie and get away with it, and they continue to deny it as though they were telling the truth!

I guess if you tell yourself something enough times it must be true!?!?!

LIes, lies, lies. We can only hope that all Americans do their research before they cast their votes on November 4th. This country can't survive another 4 years of Republican rule!

Obama/Biden 08

THIS ELECTION IS VERY SIMPLE.
ASK YOURSELF WHO IS THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON TO BE PRESIDENT??? ITS JOHN MC CAIN.
OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE IN ANY FIELD OVER MC CAIN.
SO ITS OVER FOR OBAMA.
PEOPLE ARE FINALLY WAKING UP.
LOOK AT THE POLLS
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

From AP:
"John McCain and Sarah Palin are criticizing Democrat Barack Obama over requesting money for his home state of Illinois even though the Alaska governor's record is mixed.

At a rally, the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate accused Obama of requesting nearly $1 billion in earmarks.

In fact, Obama hasn't asked for any earmarks this year and last year, he sought $311 million worth.

Palin has cut back on pork-barrel requests, but in her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million, by far the largest per-capita."

More lies from McCain. How can anyone take his candidacy seriously? 22 months and not one compelling reason to vote for McCain.

And one other point ... why do we hear about every gaffe the Obama, Biden, OR McCain make, but no news organization has commented on the fact that Sarah Palin in a speech made a statement about Fannie and Freddie that shows she doesn't know what they are or what they do?

As a Canadian observer, not that most of our American neighbours care, I am watching with dismay how McCain has manages to reinvent himself everyday, spew lie after lie, hire a shoot-first ask-questions-later sidekick, then when pushed, waves the POW flag, and everyone believes him. Americans are not ready for change. They are bending over and holding their ankles. As a former admirer, I am thoroughly dissapointed. As a business owner that exports to the US, I have seen my dollar become stronger than yours. We are all holding out the the Dems pull through. The world is watching. It matters what we think. Your economy and national security relies on this. Obama is right. Republicans think you are stupid. I am holding out hope that you are not.

Everything in the McCain camp is a lie.

Obama is feeling the pressure. Palin has gotten under skin. Hillary did the same....he doens't like strong women.

Palin vetoed the bridge...end of story.

Joey from NC and the rest of you Liberals get a clue. You keep blaming Republicans for everything that went wrong in your lives the last 8 years. I'm sure you are too busy bashing to notice that the Dems control the Huse and Senate and they are just as responsible if not more. Also most Dems voted for the war or did you forget? Quit whinning and get a job like the rest of us and pay your fair share and quit asking for people who work hard to bail you out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, in a nutshell...

SHE WAS FOR IT BEFORE CONGRESS KILLED IT.

Then, and only then, was she against it.

Wow...that's some seriously weak mavericity, there.

CNN, why did you delete my message. I have my right of free speech. Barack is on the run now. He is desperate. He has no substance, no resume and he can do nothing for oru country. Let him go to school now. He needs more experience.

Not Surpising. HAHA

Obama/Biden '08

Oh, and if she was so against it, why did she take the money?????

Lie after lie from oshame/biden. Enjoy yourselves for now but come Nobember biden into retirement and oshame back to the senate and no more billion dollar earmarks.

Quite clearly the term “maverick” now has a positive connotation for one who has no real vision of his or her own! Where was the “maverick” when the Iraq war was being voted on? Or does “the maverick’s” judgement get clouded at the mention of war? The RNC clearly demonstrated that the Viet War still has very vivid memories, which, from all indication, needs to be revisited!

Concern. What sort of a team would you really get with 2 “mavericks”?!!! Then what? Do “mavericks” actually have a vision for the future or is it simply a case of endless disagreement amongst themselves and with everyone else?

McCain and Palin make me sick....

I should be VP. I have a higher degree than a Bachelors in Journalism, have been a leader in my Highschool student council and I once sold a purse on ebay.

Abandon hope all ye who live here. The low-information voters are turning to McCain/Palin. Cause she's scrappy. And pretty. And because they don't bother to investigate the lies. Nevermind that she's never shown an interest, even an interest, in foreign policy. Nevermind that Alaska's major issues have zero to do with the rest of the country. It's close to Russia afterall! Inter-city issues. Who cares? Infrastructure - keep the earmarks coming! Mediocracy rules the Republican party. And Americans like nothing better than mediocracy! Heaven forbid they vote for the intelligent person. Oh no, they're elite. Yep. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and John Adams could rise from the dead tomorrow and they'd be elite! Give us the Hockey Mom! We get the government we deserve I guess. Too bad we deserve so little.

We have already experienced 8 years of "cowboy" diplomacy
America and the World cannot afford 4 years of "maverick" diplomacy from these two extremists....

I have to give it to the Republicans, they are excellent marketers. If this country votes for those idiots then we deserve what we get. If the Republicans win, we will have to pray that McCain stays healthy. Obama is such a stronger candidate. He is actually brillant, even smart than Bill Clinton. I hope this country does not keep slipping into the the dumb dumb bin.

Telling the same LIE over and over only serves to show that some people will believe in anything no matter how much evidence shows that it is a LIE, and it also shows that the person that continues to tell the LIE is STIPID because they think they can get away with it.

I am an Obama supporter but sometimes I wonder if they are too nice. If you know this is a lie, put out an AD that hits them in the mouth. Man, us Dems can be so soft!

The Dems are scared! It is so obvious. Until now all Obama had to do was show up and say the word "change". There was no substance behind anything, now he might actually have to explain what change is! I don't think he has a clue, he best make something up quickly. It is so funny how scared they are. And all because of a woman! Fabulous!

She doesn't lie, cheat or steal; she's a good Christian. She'll also be voting for Ted Stevens unless, of course, he's indicted. Nah! She'll still vote for him.

Let's talk about real issues that face America like our tax dollars that is bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Silver Bank's FDIC bailout. McCain's son was CEO of Silver Bank that invested and in mortgages and land developments prior to it's calspe. Investigate whether John McCain was involved and we are picking up his tab also or were all those weekend trips to Sedona, Arizona for the used for the purpose to disclose his involvement. Investigate that because tax payers are picking up the tab.

This is the Rove way of making a lie a fact, just keep saying it often and load and soon the people in this country who do not or can not read or think will believe it. It worked before and the hope is it will work again, I only hope that Obama and Biden take advice from Bill Clinton and go after them on each and every half truth and lie they tell and expose them for what the are.

Either something is right or it is wrong. When the bridge was right before so it is still right now. Only money might lack now but things stay right. A judgement on a day by day basis is not a judgement at all. It is flip – flopping.

The democratic party, Obama specifically, missed the oopurtunity to end the game by not selecting Hillary as his VP. It only shows the bitterness between them which represents the party as a whole. He missed the point that the republicans wants him to win instead of the Hillary in the primary. If he ws a good leader, he should have pick her to solidify their base. A lot of people will see this flawed decision-making and will be the basis for them voing for McCain. McCain showed forsight and savvy in choosing Sarah. That might be just the leader we need. Remember, both parties have their trashes and soil to hide, the voters will just pick the best one.

LIAR LIAR SARAH PALINS PANTS ON FIRE...I saw last week a republican woman being interviewed who said that Sarah was against the bridge to nowhere after the alaskan gov. voted to end it...Sarah did keep the 300 million dollars in ear marks to build a beautiful hockey stadium...Seriuosly though...a hockey mom with only one son who is headed to Iraq..Is she still trying to convince everyone she's a hockey mom??? SHE IS A LIAR!!!! THATS FOR SURE!!!

Thanks for your lie Sarah..i'm now contributing $100.00 to Barack Obama's campaign..

Same old lying liars, same old distortions and smears, and the same old folks believe it. Then in 4 years they'll be wondering why they still aren't better off. Welcome to America, land of the dense.

"Palins first major Gaffe"

Gov. Sarah Palin made her first potentially major gaffe during her time on the national scene while discussing the developments of the perilous housing market this past weekend.
Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."
Economists and analysts pounced on the misstatement, saying it demonstrated a lack of understanding about one of the key economic issues likely to face the next administration.
"You would like to think that someone who is going to be vice president and conceivable president would know what Fannie and Freddie do," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "These are huge institutions and they are absolutely central to our country's mortgage debt. To not have a clue what they do doesn't speak well for her, I'd say."

Just confirms how the GOP hate America by willing to vote for a VP candidate that wants to separate Alaska from the U.S. and then have the nerve to say Obama doesn't wear a flag pin. I dont care if I end up being the only one to vote for Obama but I refuse to accept you rednecks as Americans

I think it is very sad that Barack is attacking Palin. Guess he is running scared. After all, he is supposedly running for Pres., and Palin is running for VP. That's even sadder, that Barack has to attack the VP choice and cannot go toe-to-toe with the choice for Republican Pres. Oh, well. Bill to the rescue!! Good luck with that.

They sure know how to report the news about Palin, don't they? There's another news story that obviously no one is covering. Just go to huffingtonpost.com and do a search for: "McCain Camp Battles National Enquirer Over Alleged Palin Affair"

Palin may be involved in an affair and the McCain camp is suing the National Enquirer for their reports of the alleged affair. Wasn't it the National Enquirer that broke the news on the affair of Edwards??? Where's the fair and balanced news?

The Obama campaign should add to its objection the fact that Palin kept the money for the bridge to nowhere despite her claim of "stopping" it. What happened to the money?

CNN's Two Segment Series: Revealed McCain/Obama. Despite the tabloid like title it was revealing. I gathered more about Obama and got a very deep insight into the mind and motives behind McCain. I just don’t understand why McCain’s taking the low road to the Whitehouse by exploiting 911, but after watching CNN’s Revealing McCain, I understand him more. He’s been injured, damaged and he is very bitter over his own Republican party for many personal reasons. This election means so much to him for the wrong reasons- Revenge. So he has resorted to using all the nasty political tricks Bush did and has turned against everything he once spoke of during his Straight Talk 2000 to win this round. It’s disturbing.
He picked Palin for the hype distraction she offers, she's very coachable, moldable, and knows how to keep secrets.

There used to be honesty in campaigning. People campaigned on the issues, and kind of hedged a bit, changing the subject when they had been wrong. But it seems that the swiftboating last time and the lying this time are showing that one can say anything at all, and expect to be believed. I believe everything they say should be run through an organization like factcheck.org. Because McCain continues to repeat lies over and over, such as Obama will raise taxes on someone making 32,000 a year, when in reality, Obama will raise taxes ONLY on people with families making more than the top 3% of the country. Why do they get away with this? The Repubs this time and last time are just plain vicious. And it works? And we keep electing the same Bush policies election after election?

I actually quit voting after Dukakis. I thought I was only voting against someone, never FOR someone. This is the first election that I have "come back" to listening and voting. And I come back to this? We need to get rid of the lies.

They can show this McCain McPalin lie just by showing that Palin 2006 debate performance video where it shows McPalin absolutely FOR the bridge to nowhere. What did they do, burn the video? Go Obama/Biden '08-2012!!!

The only lie is that Obama is capable of leading this country, which he isn't. This guy has done more flip flops on issues for the sake of telling whoever is listening what they want to hear, shouldn't criticize anyone who has changed their mind on an issue.

Anyone that votes Mccain/Palin need to see a shrink.

I guess the republicans like to forget the lack of earmark money coming into alaska before Palin became govoner, and they like to push away the fact that she never gave any of the money back....
hmmmm

It is possible for an elected official to be against the concept of Federal earmarks in the budget and to attempt to get a piece of the earmarks that are going to be in the budget. If the Congress is going to spend billions of taxpayer dollars for earmarks, it is silly to not attempt to get part of that for your community or state.

There should be no earmarks in the federal budget. If is is not good for the country as a whole, it should not be in the budget. Both major parties have used earmarks to buy votes from special interest groups, and the leadership of both major parties have used earmarks to enforce party discipline-rewarding those who vote the party line and punishing those who don't.

I think McCain is more likely to attempt to do something about earmarks than is Obama.

More attention needs to be paid to the fact that Obama is the product of the Chicago Democratic machine; one generally preceived as highly corrupt. I do not trust Obama to defy the political bosses. I think there is a reasonable chance McCain will.

WHAT ABOUT HER GAFF REGARDING FREDDIE MAC AND FANNIE MAE, SEE HUFFINGTONPOST. PALIN LIES AND CORRUPT WILL SURFACE. THE MEDIA MUST STOP DEFENDING PALIN BY ALLOWING OTHERS TO USE SEXIST OR GENDER.

MCCAIN IS AFRAID TO LET PALIN GO SOLO BECAUSE SHE KNOWS NOTHING.

BUT SHE KEPT THE MONEY!!!! The real test on whether you were for or against it is what actually happened to the money. She took it. She spent it. Even worse than a bridge to nowhere, she took money and nobody even got a bridge. Why is no one bringing up the fact that she kept the money? That matters more to people than changes in what people have said.

SHAME TO OUR COUNTRY IF WE VOTE IN THESE LIARS AGAIN. NEXT WILL BE A LIE OF OSAMA LINK TO IRAN NUCLEAR AMBITIONS TO JUSTIFY WAR WITH IRAN !!!!!!!!! NOWEONDER HE NEEDS OUR TO STAY IN IRAQ FOR 100YRS...DEMOS SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

I wish someone would tell me, who are you polling to get these numbers? Where can I put my vote in? Also, why are all the news reports different? CNN said this morning McCain is ahead by 4 points, when I get to work, the radio says USA Today says McCain is ahead!?!?! Who are we suppose to believe?

Rogers also provided several press clips noting Palin became a critic of the bridge in her early days as governor of Alaska.

Palin opposed the "Bridge to Nowhere" after she was elected, after it was obvious the bill was going to die anyway. You have video clips of that. Fine.

But she was for the "Bridge to Nowhere" when she was running for office. And that's a fact.

Misdirection and prevarication, thy name is Palin.

I didn't know who I was going to vote for until now – Obama is the choice – I'm so tired of the mean spirited comments by McCain – but thank you for helping me make the decision

Hey CNN, why don't you investigate it yourself instead of relying on all this 'he said', 'she said' nonsense? The facts are out there. Why don't you do a little bit of actual news reporting?

One lie after another. Keep letting the American people know just how much she lies about. McCain was desperate. I doubt she was vetted properly! I am a woman and have children and grandchildren, doesn't mean I would ever vote for her! Shame on John McCain, he would sell his sole to be president and apparently she would too!

Just like the neocon repugs. "Fear, smear, mock and lie" and when they get caught red handed – "deny, deny, deny". Is this the "real change" that the McCain-Palin-Bush clowns are trying to serve up to us?

Finally! Obama needs to keep jarring back- although he is above such lies, he does need to make a stand against such lies and deception that the McCain campaign is banking on to get them to the Oval Office.

KEEP UP THE LYING, REPUBLICANS! DO YOU THINK WE CANNOT READ AND GET THE REAL FACTS? So much for being on the Christian right. The Bible does not tell us to lie, now does it? McCain's campaign is ALL run by lobbyists. Republican Government for hire, just like Bush-Cheney. Still waiting on the Iraq WMD...any update??

"New McCain television ad claims Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin stopped the “Bridge to Nowhere"

...unfortunately, she never returned the federal funds earmarked for the project. That came out of all our pockets. A glimpse into the possible future? You bet!

Hey Jason – if you honestly think that anyone on the Obama campaign is 'scrambling' you are delusional just like the repubs you are supporting.

It is truly frightening that there are people buying into the republican's full court press of lies and attacks in order to win the presidency. Desperate times lead to desperate measures.

An anit women's rights, ani gay marriage, pro aerial hunting redneck woman who does not believe global warming is caused by humans is NOT going to end up in the White House!

it would be nice if CNN reported the objective facts instead of just parroting republican lies. When some one is lying, i expect them to be called on it. McCain's campaign is LYING abotu Palin's bridge to nowhere.

seeing as how this is a fact, it shouldn't be so hard for CNN to report it as a fact, instead of just letting the mccain flack lie again like they did in the statement above.

I believe everyone here wants to know ALL the truth..not just bits

So here are a few questions Ms Palin before the election:

1. Since you were pregnant and you started to leak fluid, during a
speech in Texas, you chose to finish your speech and then fly for
11 hours back to Alaska. And then drive for 45 minutes to a hospital
in a small town to have a baby with health problems.

How so?...you would think that you would want the best care possible
for yourself and the baby at a large city to handle your needs.

2. I read in your newspaper that you gave birth to a 6lb 2oz baby boy.
Which you have told us that he was born 4 weeks premature.

Does a premature baby not weigh less if premature?..just asking.
Did you transport yourself and baby to a neo-natal unit because he was premature?..No because you were back to work 3 days after giving birth. THAT'S ODD

3.Why are all the family pictures taken off the govt and other websites?

Are there things there you don't want us to see?...Too late we've already seen them.

4. It's odd that the only baby's parents name that was born in the hospital on that day was definitely NOT Palin. Newspapers are printed

Looks like the MSM hasn't the gazoo's to check on these questions because the Repub will call it "sexist"

HERE'S MY TAKE ON IT....

You got a phone call when in Texas that Bristol was going into labor, so you booted it for home to make a good coverup.

Either there are going to be a lot of people perjure themselves, either way you and McWar are in a whole pile of hurt.

WAIT FOR IT.....NATIONAL ENQUIRE IS DOING MSM'S HOMEWORK

Not only did she support the bridge until it was basically killed by the US congress, but she kept the $230 million dollars that had already been given to Alaska!

GIGI or whatever you are called please get a life!!! yes we are d-e-s-p-e-r-a-t-e indeed, desperate for change and its so sad that ignorant minded people like you cannot say NO to the 8 years of Bush and the 4 more McCain is offering. Come November we will prevail because as Bill Clinton rightly said it, Obama is on the right side of History and McCain is.................well, very near the grave!!!!!

I'm beginning to think that McBush/Palin think we are REEEEEALLY stupid and can't read. Don't they know that we KNOW that she voted for the "bridge to nowhere" and changed to vote against it once it was already clear that it was being voted down by the majority? Oh well, it shows again that McBush/Palin represent more of the same.....lie after lie. Lord knows that American can't handle that!!!!

The Democrats are becoming 'shrill' and 'sarcastic' over Sarah Palin! One of the best things to happen in our political arena and the Democrats are now the frenzied, hysterical and shrill ones...ha...ha! What comes around goes around!

Gov. Palin is a FRAUD! Why in the world would Sen. McCain pick someone unvetted when there were several outstanding and very strong Republican women qualified to be VP?? Gov Palin with little experience and a bachelor's degree isn't qualified to be one heart beat way from the Presidency of the most powerful country in the world! And when all the bad stuff began to flow regarding Maverick Palin......those pundits who're propping her up as the saviour to the Republican Party will have to eat crow on national TV!!!

making a switch!

I'm leaving Obama and now supporting McCain/Palin. It'll be the first time in my life that I vote for a republican. Mccain is a trustworthy person with an amazing life story. Obama is terrific, too, but could benefit from a full term as a Senator. My guess is that I will get another chance to vote for Obama. The next time he will have great experience and will be unstoppable.

Desperate obama supporters grasping at straws that amount to nothing. What is disgusting is obama pretending to be a Christian and biden a Washington outsider. Now that pair is a vote for a Bridge to no where!

Palin would not be getting away with these lies if the media would start doing their jobs and started vetting her. I don't understand how the media was so relentless, week after week, in forcing Obama (when he was just one of several candidates during the primary) to defend his pastor's positions and statements but don't force Palin to defend her OWN positions and statements.

I suspect that when the McCain campaign cancelled McCain's interview on Larry King Live for what they claimed was unfair coverage of Palin, it spooked the main stream media. They're now afraid to confront and vet Palin. I think they're also afraid of accusations of sexism.

The media's failure to vet who is now the Republican party's nominee for Vice President is disgraceful! Do your jobs!! Obama had to answer and explain all of his positions before he was even the nominee. Why is Palin getting a free ride!!!!!!!!

IF SHE IS SO AGAINST THE BRIDGE TO NOWEHERE HOW COME HER STATE NEVER GAVE BACK THE MONEY THE FEDERAL GOVT. GAVE THEM TO COMPLETE THE "BRIDGE TO NOWHERE"??!?!?! THE KEPT THE MONEY – EVEN WHEN NOW "AGAINST" THE BRIDGE, THEY STILL HAVE THE MONEY!!!!!!

The Republicans have a history of repeating lies thinking that if they say it often and with conviction it makes them true. Where are the true unbiased news networks who will report on these lies. They certainly questioned all things Obama but seem afraid to touch Palin and McCain who blatantly lie then retreat behind a wall claiming media bias. This is so crazy you think you are in the Twilight Zone of politics. Lies become true and truth is squashed because it does not appeal to ratings while this country is hurting from the last 8 years.

Um yeah - you try something, it doesn't work and then you realize it's costing a lot of money for something that doesn't work and you call for it to end.

No brainer. That's what any of us would do. Sarah did nothing wrong.

The fact of the matter is that the "Bridge to Nowhere" cost a few HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS of tax money. She didn't send it back to Washington, she SPENT IT.

Where is my refund? GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY, SARAH PALIN!!!

Also, for all the socialist talk, it's kind of funny that no one minds we're becoming a FASCIST nation.

Hey CNN...

Instead of saying that the Obama camp "CALLS" the Palin ad a lie, why not do a little investigative reporting of your own and FIND OUT whether the claim that she always opposed the Bridge to Nowhere.

I understand that it's comfortable to report on politics in this he said / she said way - it allows you to seem impartial - but your journalistic responsibility to report the truth MUST trump your desire to appear unbiased.

In this case, there is a record that you can and should investigate. Did Sarah Palin always oppose the Bridge to Nowhere? Or did she support it until the project became untenable and only announced her opposition at the very end? These are questions you should answer concretely. Then, if it turns out that this McCain-Palin campaign ad is in fact a "lie," you can report on it as such and the campaign will suffer the consequences. As it stands, however, by reporting the story this way, you're just being LAZY - and you are abdicating your reponsibility to the American people as the finder of fact and truth.

McCain campaign, not Palin campaign. Photo does not reflect that.

It IS a lie. How can the McCain campaign call the documented facts "hysterical attacks" when the truth is staring them right in the face? Changing your opinion on something after it's already destined to fail does not make you a "maverick."

I guess the mccain camp is entitled to their own opinions and their own facts.

I'm still not buyin' what they're selling.

Jason, you are incorrect. She did not change her mind after she saw the facts. Palin supported the bridge to nowhere when she ran for governor and continued supporting it while in office.

When Congress refused funding for the bridge, then the bridge would only be built if Alaska paid for it. Seeing this, Palin reluctantly killed the project. She even issued a statement regretting the lack of funding by the federal government. She kept the money that had already been sent to Alaska and did not return it to the federal government.

It is a straight out lie.

Not only did she support the "BTN" before she opposed it, Alaska still got the earmark money for it, they just spent it on different things.

I guess McCain and Palin don't think Americans will do research before they lie about anything.

And what of this investigation into her abusing power in trying to fire a state trooper... She initially said she had nothing to do with it and then backtracked when her aide was caught on tape mentioning her name in accordance with the trooper's employment..

ALASKA 'S POLITICIANS WERE DEFEATED HANDILY BY GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN WHO PUSHED REFORM ON EXCEESISVE AND UN-NECESSARY GOVERMENT SPENDING LIKE THE JET PLANE SHE SOLD AND PORK BARREL SPENDING BY HER PREDECESSORS. HER TAX INCREASES ON OIL PROFITS BY BIG OIL CREATED A BUDGET SURPLUS FOR HER STATE
AND SHE GAVE IT BACK TO THE TAXPAYERS OF ALASKA IN THE FORM OF PAYMENTS AND LOWERING OF PROPERTY TAXES.
SHE HAS AN 80% APPROVAL RATING AMONG ALASKA VOTERS,
UNMATCHED BY ANY OTHER POLITICAN , GOVERNOR OR SENATOR. NOW SHE ENJOYS THE SUPPORT OF HILLARY'S WHITE WOMEN SUPPORTERS.

I am so mad at Obama for what he did to Hilary...He bad mouthed her during his campaign against her, then he praised her highly after he won, and wanted her to campaign for him and turn her deligates over to him, and pursuade her loyal followers to now back Obama, all the time letting us and Hilary think he was considering her his running mate....and then he chooses Biden...that was a slap in the face not only to Hilary but to us her followers too...then when McCain picked Paliln and started gaining points...he then has the nerve to ask Hilary and a few other ladies to hop out there and campaign for him so he can win the woman vote....does Obama think we are stupid...Hilary was not good enough to run with him but now she is good enough to campaign for him...Hilary is not your puppet Obama....you can not just use her for your advantage and then toss her aside like yesterdays newspaper...Hilary is the one that should be running for the Democrats...not you!! Hilary supporters do not let Obama do this to Hilary....she deserves better then that...

@ JASON: dude, it is what it is! She clearly SUPPORT THE SILLY BRIDGE......... EVEN AS SHE RAN FOR GOVERNOR. OH AND..........

SHE IS A MOTHER WITH A 4 MONTH OLD BABY.......... HOW WILL SHE BE ABLE TO LEAD THIS NATION AND MOTHER HER CHILDREN?

As a mother of four grown adults, I KNOW what it takes to RAISE healthy, strong, Christian adults with strong values and ..........plenty of LOVE.

Sorry, McCain you CHOOSE WRONG!

I'm voting for McCain just like I said I would if Obama didn't pick Hillary.

If she was against the so against the excessive money for the bridge, why did she take the money anyway? Whether the bridge was build or not, the spending still took place (300 mil. now being used to build a road to a bridge that doesn't exist-your money. Palin a reformer? This would be funny if it wasn't so sad. A lie is a lie...and people are buying it. Sad.

Of course it's a lie...it came out of the Repugs mouths didn't it? The repugs are banking on a voting public that is both gullible and stupid. So far, they have been laughing all the way to the bank. How long are we gonna stand around and let thee tear down this country. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Great! Keep up the negative attacks and see where it gets you. The more negative the Obama campaign goes the better the polls look for McCain/Palin. Please keep up the good work-thanks!

Lying will always catch up with you. For now, the polls don't mean much. I haven't met anyone who like the McCain/Palin ticket, and I don't live in a bubble.

Republicans, McLAme and Palin pride themselves on cutting spending?
Where? How much did the war cost..... and who gets the money, I heard that soldiers don't get paid much, are poorly equipped and we saw how they are treated after they come back home....
When you have sound proposals, and want to make the country work like Barak, all you hear from the Republicans, it's counter attacks, but no substance. And behind the closed door they spend money left and right....

WAKE UP AMERICA! Mc Cain is the agent of change....that is such a joke. And I cant believe people think He and palin did a good job in their speech. I am so tired of hearing about Mc Cain's military experince.....and Palin attacking someone who is not on her level. Mc Cain had a chance to tell the American people what he will do for us to help our country and has he done that, NO. Instead he decided to use his time to talk about what happened in the military. We get it already you served, who cares. What are you going to do for us??? Sarah Palin had her chance to tell us about her self and she instead talked about Obama....get a clue they don't have a plan. And all you hilary voters who are backing MC Cain because he has a woman on the ticket....wake up. The only reason he picked her was to keep up with this historcial race....if there was not a hilary, there never would have been a Palin on MC Cain's ticket. You people should have your voter registration cards taken away. People are loosing jobs, homes, and stability and all Mc Cain can talk about is his service.....Give me a break. Obama and Biden are the way to go.

This is nothing like Biden's being for the war, it's funding and surge but now against it. Or Obama's being against wiretapping American's right up until he voted for it..

Palin was for it before she was against the Bridge to Nowhere. But by the time Palin flip -flopped Congress has already decided the $225m was not to used for that Bridge.
But Palin and Alaska STILL GOT THE MONEY which she spent it on other projects.
Alaska is the number one state in the union for earmark money.
Palin is just a good 'ol boy wearing lipstick.
I will vote for McCain as 2008 Sexist Man of the Year!

Not to mention the FACT THAT SHE TOOK THE MONEY. SOMEBODY PLEASE ASK THE COMPULSIVE LIARS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MONEY, IF IN FACT SHE SHUT THE PROJECT DOWN???????

As much as I respect you Senator McCain, you are not the original or the singular United States Government 'Maverick' that 'entitlement' belongs to George Washington if anyone. Not you McCain, not you.

Obama is full of it and people are noticing!

republicans always lie

The ad is not a lie she was for it till she found out the cost and as Governor she squashed it. She does not have any earmarks as a Governor so do your research Burton.

Obama must realize that since he is an unconventional candidate he must create an unconventional campaign. First off, he should hold an economic summit with potential cabinet members to begin presenting prototype plans for economic recovery, secondly he should surround himself with brillance ala Jack Kennedy who was constantly pictured consulting with industry leaders. Thirdly, he must clearly define the areas of expertise both he and Biden will focus upon and announce plans ie. Biden will focus on Iraq and withdraw plans, Obama focus upon economy and budget plans announcing goals such as a balanced budget plan by March??? Political campaigns are all about perception and Obama must provide the image of leadership leaving the petty sniping against McCain to others. McCain is older with nothing to prove while Obama has everything to prove!!!

The bridge money is in the State of Alaska treasury – it needs to be sent back to Washington.

What's the difference between Bush/Cheney and McCain/Palin? LIPSTICK

If mccain beats Obama in November it only shows how gullible and utterly stupid the American voters are. palin is nothing more than eye candy. the woman has no record to speak of and she has more garbage and ethics problem than "almost" anyone else in Congress. mccain is using the beauty queen instead of stepping up to do what HE needs to do to become president. pain is being sequestered from the media because she has no clue as to what she got into and they are prepping her for the debate and media scrutiny. if eight years of bush haven't shown us we, as a country, are doomed I don't know what else will.
no mccain/no palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless of how glamours her speeches she still a Rupublican and nothing has changed just the faces.

CALL HER OUT ON THE GAFF SHE MADE ABOUT FANNY MAE AND FREDDIE MAC. SHE STATED THAT THE TAX PAYERS HAVE PAID TOO MUCH ALREADY. THEY ARE PRIVATELY OWNED (DUH)

CHENEY HAS TO GO TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO BRAG NATIONALLY ON PADIN. HE LOVED HER SPEECH AND FOUND
IT FUNNY AND GREAT!!!!!!

THIS CHENEY COWARD CAN'T SHOW HIS FACE IN AMERICA!
ALTHOUGH, BUSH AND CHENEY, LAUGH AT HOW BAD CHENEY'S
APPROVAL RATING.

CHECK OUT THEIR "LAST TELEVISED ROAST" WHERE BUSH MADE
A JOKE OF CHENEY NOT CARING AND LAUGHING ABOUT WHAT
"THE PEOPLE' that voted for them and who put them in office, thought
of him. IT IS REAL FUNNY! And we suckers, voted for Bush twice.
Oh, my God, America might do it again, with falling in love with
a barracuda.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama-Biden 2008

Gov. Sarah Palin made her first potentially major gaffe during her time on the national scene while discussing the developments of the perilous housing market this past weekend.

Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."

Economists and analysts pounced on the misstatement, saying it demonstrated a lack of understanding about one of the key economic issues likely to face the next administration.

It's time the McCain–Palin campaign became the

CAMPAIGN–TO–NOWHERE.

The Republicans are pretty much trying to lie their way into the White House. It worked in 2004 and look at us now.

Americans deserve whatever we get if we elect them.

Pants On Fire!!! The say ANYTHING, DO ANYTHING, LIE, SMEAR, CHEAT Campaign!!!

No Way, No How No McClown or No McPalin!!!!
No Way, No How No McClown or No McPalin!!!!
No Way, No How No McClown or No McPalin!!!!
No Way, No How No McClown or No McPalin!!!!
No Way, No How No McClown or No McPalin!!!!

It's not going to work this time....Not Now, Not Ever!!!
Barack always said it would be close but he will be VICTORIOUS!!

BO & JB 08

There are and have been a LOT of ads, statements, and general rhetoric that stretch the truth to the point that it can be called an outright prevarication. In fact, most everything in recent days and weeks fits that description.

Stick to the Real Issues.

As usual, the republicans know one thing- the bigger and bolder the lie you tell- the more people are apt to believe it. Jason did.

Everyone knows that the Palin media campaign is a huge fabrication of her record. She wasn't against bridge as she's claimed, she didn't sell a jet on Ebay, her husband used to be (and maybe still is) a supporter of Alaska becoming an independent state–the statements she's given to read are full of lies. Both Democrats and Republicans know this. The difference is, the Republicans don't care because they want their ticket to win.

When is a lie a lie, it has been verified over and over that Mrs. Palin was in favor of the bridge to nowhere when it appeared to be advantageos to her and became opposed when it became apparent it would no longer be helpful to her. She also supported lots of earmarks for Alaska and her hometown which she now is campaigning against. And furthermore the only thing she has in common with Hilary Clinton is her gender, any Clinton supporters who now support Mrs. Palin were never Clinton supporters in the first place!

I completely agree with the Obama campaign. Outright lies and half truths do not belong in our politics. The Republican Party at the state and national level have been using these same tactics to diminish the reputation of Senator Obama, whether they suggest he is a muslim bent on declaring Jihad on the US, or a militant African American out of touch with America. I expect to hear these lies from radio talk show hosts like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, but I don't think I should hear them from elected officials. McCain had my vote in the 2000 primary battle with GW, but I can't in good conscience vote for him this year. He has betrayed the trust of all of us independent minded people who once supported him in the past. Obama/Biden in 2008.

Obama choices are not all that good. He should have chosen Hillary as VP so I will vote for McCain in 2008 and Hillary in 2012.

I won't even entertain this McCain/Palin discussion. The only thing I can say is that Campbell Brown is one of the best reporters for the 2008 Election. We need more people like Campbell who are not afraid of delving into the issues and dealing with the real questions facing the people of America today - joblessness, lack of health insurance and high cost of fuel.

I guess she was for the bridge....

before she was against it....

Sarah Palin did not stop that bridge,...washing ton did! if washington had let her have her way she would have still been for it. Get a grip jason!

the Obama campaign has the greatest quick response, negative, attack machine in the history of politics!
