RNC Speech Last Night

I watched the RNC McCain speech last night with some great dems up at the IBEW in Collinsville (hat tip to Brendan Kelly and Barb Brown for hosting us). The speech was awful - just awful. Thankfully they had free beer - otherwise I would not have been able resist the urge to gouge my eyes out... (btw - Brendan - if Gou911ani runs in 08, bring tequila) On the big screen you could see everything in great detail - including the confetti. I thought I something funny with the confetti, and I checked the Internet today and confirmed it. See the photo below - and look very close!

I Think That Palin's Speech Set a New Record for Lies in a Convention Speech!!



The debunk is at several places - this one counts about 21 separate lies!!

My favorite one is this:

PALIN: “In fact, I told Congress -- I told Congress, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’ on that bridge to nowhere.”

REALITY: PALIN WAS FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE BEFORE SHE WAS AGAINST IT.

October 2006” Palin Supported Bridge To Nowhere. In 2006, Palin was asked, “Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?” She responded, “Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now--while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.” [Anchorage, 10/22/06, republished 08/29/08]

2006: Palin: Don’t Allow “Spinmeisters” To Turn Bridge To Nowhere Project “Into Something That’s So Negative.” "Part of my agenda is making sure that Southeast is heard. That your projects are important. That we go to bat for Southeast when we’re up against federal
influences that aren’t in the best interest of Southeast.' She cited the widespread negative attention focused on the Gravina Island crossing project. 'We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge and not allow the
spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that’s so negative,' Palin said." [Ketchikan Daily News, 10/2/06]

Wow - what a reformer! She will cut the pork....

Republican Hypocracy Does Not Get Any Worse!
