Making Their Own Reality



And followed by...



Although I think the hypocrisy and outright lies flowing from the McCain Campaign are a story worth noting and mocking, I also want to flag this webcast of a forum with McCain's and Obama's economic advisers tonight at 4:30 PM.

Speaking of utterly obvious contradictions, did anyone see this one.

Basically, Palin says in one breath that she's "not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can't do, should and should not do."

But she was proud to "vote[] along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend [the Alaska] Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman." In her own words, "I wish on a federal level that that's where we would go because I don't support gay marriage."

Doesn't telling homosexuals they can't get married constitute "telling [individuals] what they can and can't do, should and should not do"?!? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here!

I think the flip-flopping is a little scarier on the Obama side. It's one thing to change positions. It's an entire other thing to think the people around you are so stupid that you can re-write history and expect nobody to call you out on it.

It may be produced by the McCain team, but it's hard for Obama fan-boys to refute.

I'll probably still vote Obama though...

@9:19--yeah, but McCain is still clinging to the dream that the surge solved all the problems, when senior military officials have stated, albeit vaguely, that the situational improvements in the past year are attributable to a top secret change in tactics rather than the surge.

P.S. Eat me.

2:27 refutes nothing, implicitly agreeing with 9:19. And then asks her to "eat" him.

That's some quality reasons to base a vote decision upon.

One thing I don't understand is how McCain can accuse Obama of failing to admit that the surge worked, when McCain hasn't ever admitted that invading Iraq in the first place was a mistake.

Even more surprising is that no one has brought this up, and if they have, no one has run with it.

I mean, it was the war that BROUGHT al qaeda to Iraq, and brought on the sectarian violence, right? How many Americans would have died if we hadn't gone there? Oh well; hopefully this will all be behind us soon enough.
