There is actually quite a bit. A friend of mine recently told me that she tried to have a bunch of books banned, and ended up firing the librarian. Not true.

She also reportedly cut funding for special needs students, supported teaching creationism only, and was a member of a group wanting Alaska to secede from the US. All are not true.

The GOP is making up all kinds of crap as well. We see a lot of it on this site because many people on this forum think that just because the Kool-Aid comes from the GOP that it is good to drink. McCain has shown that he has no integrity as he lies outright about Obama.

Only the last words to have left the lips of the Democratic Party Standard Bearer.

For any political candidate or incumbent , a common misadventure is to equate longevity, i.e. " Years of Experience " with factual, unbiased. 3rd party, etc reporting of accomplishments indicating measurable and sustainable results. Just having been there does not necessarily mean the time was well spent.

Seems that news reporting has crossed the line to blatantly or with inferences resemble Editorial or clearly marked Opinion/Commentary articles and/or reflect the editorial beliefs of the communications medium.

Just as important to recognize what might also be known, but intentionally not included which would discredit the reporting of the news item, or contrary to the Publishers personal desires.

Trouble is, most of that crap has its' basis in fact. So, filtering out the embellishments of the facts, still leaves the inconvenient facts.

This could be said of either party's crap. Most of the stuff about McCain and Palin has its basis in facts, so this argument won't fly!

Glyn,

I guess you have something against rednecks, huh? How about matching IQ, education, and the fact that I can come to Austin and kick your ass? What a pompous windbag.

New day, same old crap!

Whoops...yellow card.

Stay on the topic, stick to issues...and refrain from any threats of ass-kicking road trips.

Right on Ron. Besides we rednecked hunters have whipped up on the Limey's a couple of times before so a third time probably wouldn't be as satisfying as the first.

To me it's amazing that someone who comes from a country whose empire building is the source of 90% of the problems in the world today has the gall to express an opinion anyway. With all of the problems there are in Britain today it makes our shores look like a cake walk. And as far as bragging being so cosmopolitan that you've lived in five different countries, may I ask did you leave on your own or were you escorted out?

ROFL...only 90%. I think we'll take claim for the problems in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, slavery, class systems, Pakistan, South Africa, and probably most of the problems over here in the US...oh yes, and Canada...hmmm...and Australia...but surely there is some small corner of the world we didn't f***k up?. Ooooh, and I may stand corrected, but didn't ALL the problems start in those countries ONCE WE HAD LEFT? Everything was running fine until we left them to their own devices...

Glyn

PS I left three on my own, one under escort and one I cannot talk about...

PPS I agree with you completely about the problems in Britain...why do you think I came here?

PPPS I am still dealing with "pompous windbag"...

Well Glynn, I guess that just proves that your genetics includes a "slow learner" gene. We came over 380 years ago this year knowing full well how screwed up it was over there.

Just a few more comments:

You doubt Palin's ability to govern? She governs a state that is 10 times the size of that pissy little island across the sea. And from the looks of things does a much better job of it than your socialist leader Gordon Brown is doing.

Church of England the one "true religion"? Sure, founded by a bloated, gout ridden maniac, that managed to kill more women than Ted Kennedy.

No problems until you left the empire? Sure, spend years screwing everything up and then just leave.

Instead of commenting on McCain's marriage how about a little on the bi-polar, bulimic slut that you guys canonized? And the big eared dumb ass she married.

And just what the hell is the gall of you guys calling that sissyfied game where you run around in shorts and hold up colored cards for tripping "football". What a bunch of pansies!

Hard time dealing with pompous windbag? Well Glyn, sometimes you just have to learn to live with your limitations.

Sorry, I've got to go get the shotguns and birddogs loaded up. Bird season is here!!

ROFL...I have NOTHING against rednecks, I just don't want to see them running the country, that's all..."pompous windbag" is a little harsh though.... I prefer "f***ing Brit", or "g'damn ferner", or "who saved yer asses in WWII?"...but "pompous windbag"...THAT one hurts...LOL

As Supreme Court justice Scalia would say:

"Attack the ideas, not the person."

ONE of the books Palin DID inquire about banning concerned a Gay Fathers life style, there were many others. As Palin put it she was just 'asking' about 'what if'. There was such an uproar from the community the Librarian was able to keep her job.

She is quick to fire those that don't go along with her program.

As a former Mayor of a small town I feel it is time to educate some of you.

Palin was the mayor of a town that had a "City Manager" form of government where all aspects of hiring and dismissal were the duty of the manager. The Mayor and council hold the responsibility of budget and policy. A Mayor almost never in small towns can dismiss any employee unless the community has a "Strong Mayor" form of government which are fast becoming obsolete.

Where is the cry we heard just a week or so ago that she was only was just a figurehead and cut ribbons?

If you can't understand how the smallest forms of government work in our Country are you sure you are competent to comment on the highest offices?

........

I once had to remove several books from the towns library and dismiss a assistant librarian. The assistant had found some books that were in the State Library and had them transferred to ours that had graphic pictures of young girls and boys of various ages and development.

Would you have left the books on the shelves? I am sure if I were to run for higher office someday some loony leftist would make the same claim of me as Palin.

Scott,
Liberals get their panties in a twist when it comes to God,the Bible and Christianity but are all over supporting pictures naked kids.

[427 S/O]

Fella's, steve continues to misrepresent the 'town hall debates', 'O'NO! ignored Mccain's request for 'months'. Finally, 'O'NO!'s camp thought they best respond or look scared and foolish (too late). 'O'NO! had no intention of meeting McCain where he had no control and lately, 'O'NO! has been running his mouth with 'I'll meet McCain and debate him anywhere', knowing all along it will never happen. Pathetic.....

One of 'O'NO!' lieutenants puts out some lame excuse about the format and steve takes that as gospel. McCain loves town hall meetings and takes questions from anyone, 'O'NO! wants nothing to do with that uncontrolled format.

McCain/Palin

[427 S/O]

Steve, what exactly is 'O'NO!'s favoured format?. I don't recall McCain being afraid of anything, anywhere, any time.
