Sarah Palin is a Pathological Liar

The Bridge to Nowhere lie has returned. She was too much of a coward to use them in Alaska, but she's back lying her ass off again.

Do Voters Even Care About Honesty Anymore?

It's sad that I have to even pose this question. But today I sit here in stunned amazement as both McCain and Palin are repeatedly called out for whopper after whopper, while people on the right shrug this off as "smears" and there seems to be no consequences -- yet, anyway, in the polls.

In case you weren't bored yet, there was Sarah Palin with Charlie Gibson, going on about that stupid bridge again:
Palin doesn't contest Gibson's version of events: That she favored the bridge even when Congress pulled the plug on it and after it became apparent that the state would have to foot the bill for any new costs. The key moment comes where Palin, after getting pressed, seems to make a concession of sorts, saying she was "for infrastructure being built in the state."

Palin added that "it's not inappropriate for a mayor or for a governor" to try to get "a share of the federal budget for infrastructure."

Of course it isn't! As she says, of course a mayor or governor is going to want to tap the Federal budget for money for local infrastructure buildup, and of course members of Congress will try to get it done, too.

But that isn't the issue. It's very easy to get distracted here, but again, the rub is Palin's frequent claim that she said "thanks, but no thanks" to Federal help for the big local project. The problem is her and McCain's latter-day effort to portray her as having been some kind of Joan of Arc of pork-slayers.
She lied. She's a liar. She's a repeated, shameless, unrepentant liar. But does it even matter? I really think that people have to eventually wake up and realize that she is a total fraud. But to do that, they have to bowing and scraping to her false image and start paying attention.

Our country has been severely damaged by eight years of Republican lying. Now McCain and Palin are running a campaign where they try to pretend they aren't Republican, all while lying even worse than Bush did. People have to be able to see through this. Don't they?

How Do You Know Sarah Palin is Lying? Her Lips are Moving

The Big Lie campaign continues unabated.

Politicians lie enough as it is, without doing so proudly and openly. This woman doesn't deserve to be in the White House even as a tourist.s
