Lying

What is going on with the McCain/Palin campaign?!?! Since introducing Sarah Palin as his running mate, they can't go a day without lying. Now the media is noticing. Some of the lies:

1. The campaign said Sarah Palin had traveled internationally to Ireland and Iraq. Turns out, however, that she sat in her plane while it refueled in Ireland. Her Iraq trip consisted of her flying into Kuwait and taking a trip to the Iraq border. That's it, no meetings, no tours, nothing. Instead of stating the truth they tried to make it sound like she had extensive foreign travel experience.

2. Sarah Palin stated that she never tried to ban books at the local library while she was mayor. Truth is she asked the librarian three times about the process for banning books. Palin then fired the librarian for not fully supporting her.

3. The McCain campaign keeps repeating the lie that Sarah Palin, as governor of Alaska, did not support the Bridge to Nowhere. In reality she did. McCain is saying Palin never requested federal earmarks. She did that too.

4. McCain is lying about Barack Obama's legislative record.

5. They're even lying about their crowd sizes! Pathetic.

What makes this all the more grating is that McCain is largely basing his campaign on honor and character. It's time we the public call him on this.
