Sara Palin Lies from Alaska to America.
Washinton Post:"John McCain is a serious man who promised to wage a serious campaign. Win or lose, will he be able to look back on this one with pride? Right now, it's hard to see how."


The Atlanta Journal constitution:"As the McCain campaign points out, both Barack Obama and Joe Biden have requested earmarks and voted for earmarks. Neither is anything close to pure on this issue. But neither Democrat is claiming otherwise. They arent trying to deny reality. Nor are they trying to construct their entire political identity on that falsehood.



Palin — with the full backing and support of the McCain campaign — is doing herself longterm political damage with this ploy. The American people are watching her repeatedly lie to them, day after day, and watching her do so with no apparent compunction. This is her introduction to the national scene; this is when her image is being cemented into the public mind.


"how a politician campaigns tells you a lot about how he or she would govern. "

Big Bucks
Earmark factoid of the day.

How much money would it take to provide earmarks for all Americans at the same rate that Sarah Palin bagged them for Wasila? On an annual basis?

A mere half a trillion dollars.

Exact number $422,302,519,152.
