THE McCAIN-PALIN LYING MACHINE ...

If you're a republican and the Wall Street Journal is calling you on your lies, you know you've stepped in it. Here's what the WSJ is saying about Sarah Palin's declaration that she's a fiscal conservative who opposed the mega-pork Bridge to Nowhere project ...

... Gov. Palin's claim comes with a serious caveat. She endorsed the multimillion dollar project during her gubernatorial race in 2006.
"Caveat"? Let's call it what it is, a LIE. And for those of you inclined to claim, "Palin's still a fiscal conservative because she eventually opposed the bridge project ..." the WSJ tells us that while ...

... [Palin] did take part in stopping the project after it became a national scandal, she did not return the federal money. She just allocated it elsewhere.
This doesn't sound like someone who wants to save the American taxpayer money. Worse, it wasn't Palin who pulled the plug on the project, it was Congress. And what does the WSJ have to say about John McCain's lying claim that Sarah Palin's earmarked-pork addiction is not as bad as Barack Obama's (once again trying to taint others with their cesspool of lies)? You're going to like this one ...

At a rally today, Sen. McCain again asserted that Sen. Obama has requested nearly a billion in earmarks. In fact, the Illinois senator requested $311 million last year, according to the Associated Press, and none this year. In comparison, Gov. Palin has requested $750 million in her two years as governor -- which the AP says is the largest per-capita request in the nation.
At what point does the press begin calling McCain and Palin "liars"? And where are the Christians who claim to know a thing or two about bearing false witness?

Just asking.
