Democrats telling lies?  Say it isn’t so!

Republican candidate John McCain’s team says that there were no discussions between them and the Barack Obama camp about accepting public campaign funds.

According to CNN, laywers representing the two candidates met on June 6th to talk about joint townhall appearances, and nothing more, officially.  The McCain team vehemently denies that any negotiations about public financing took place at that meeting.  McCain’s counsel Trevor Potter was quoted as saying:

We then spoke in general terms about the public financing system, with Bob (Bauer, Obama’s counsel) outlining reasons it could be considered ‘broken’ or irrelevant in 2008, and I explaining why Sen. McCain remained committed to it and thought it was good for the country.

I cannot begin to explain how the Obama campaign could twist my reiteration of Sen. McCain’s support of the system, and hope the two candidates would participate in it, into what they said today.

There you have it.  McCain as of today is committed to eliminating private money from presidential campaigns while Barack Obama flip-flopped from his prior position and decided to indulge himself in all that tantalizing money from rich liberals and special interests.

Obama could reverse his position and walk away from private money and accept public financing.  But he won’t.  He says one thing and does the exact opposite. Barack Obama is a total and complete fraud.

If you read the dirty things Obama said about McCain when he announced he was turning down public financing, it also shows that Obama is not committed to running a clean campaign as he originally said he was.  So much for ending dirty politics Obama…

Barack Obama gave a speech today hammering John McCain and the Republicans for things which are the fault of Democrats. Let’s look at Obama’s comments and examine them with the truth.

Obama Hammers McCain

“[John McCain] also legitimately tout moments of independence from his party, and on some issues, such as earmark reform and climate change, he and I share goals, even if we may differ on how to get there.

It was Barack Obama who requested a $1 million earmark for his wife’s employer so they could build a new pavilion shortly after she got a raise in salary in excess of $200,000 per year. McCain says he has never requested an earmark, Obama has.

Interesting how Obama lies, isn’t it?

Chicago Tribune Article About Obama’s Earmarks

Among the pork-barrel spending requests Barack Obama has made since arriving in the U.S. Senate is $1 million for the hospital where his wife worked at the time and $8 million for weapons technology made by a big defense contractor with close ties to a major fundraiser.

In among them was a request for $1 million in federal funding in 2006 for a new pavilion at the University of Chicago Hospitals, where his wife, Michelle Obama, was a vice president at the time.

Now remember, shortly after Barack Obama got elected to the Senate, his wife was given a $200,000 raise in her annual salary. Does this sound like a payback? How can anyone argue that a pavilion is critical for the operation of a hospital?

Back to Obama’s criticism of McCain and Bush:

“President Bush told the American people he thought the biggest danger arising from this housing crisis was the temptation to do something about it. Now Senator McCain wants to turn Bush’s policy of ‘too little, too late’ into a policy of ‘even less, even later’. That’s not the change we need right now. That’s what got us into this mess in the first place.”

Um, we aren’t in a housing crisis. We are in a subprime crisis. Subprime means that the people are not credit worthy. What happens when you lend money to people who can’t pay it back? Well, they end up not paying it back and going into foreclosure.

If we look at this graph from the Mortgage Bankers Association, we can see that prime fixed rate foreclosures are lower than they were in the recent past. Prime adjustable rate foreclosures are a little bit higher, but they are still nowhere near as high as subprime foreclosure rates.

Try explaining that to the dimwitted Democrats.

“And while John McCain wants to pick up where George Bush left off by trying again to privatize Social Security, I will never waver in my commitment to protect that basic promise as President. We will not privatize Social Security, we will not raise the retirement age, and we will save Social Security for future generations by asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share.”

Wealthy people are already paying much more than their fair share. When Social Security started, the retirement age was 65 and the average life expectancy was 67. Now, the average life expectancy is nearing 80. Social Security was never designed to provided sole income for a retired person; rather, it was designed to be part of a three-pronged stool which also includes personal savings and investment.

Social Security and Medicare–programs for the elderly–are bankrupting the nation. Medicare spending now tops $600 billion per year, and rising much faster than economic growth. They are not sustainable. But Democrats don’t care if they spend us into bankruptcy. And they are either not smart enough to see it, or are lying to appeal to their mindless voting base.

“As far as we can tell, John McCain doesn’t have a plan to make college more affordable. And that means he isn’t listening to the struggles facing a new generation of Americans.”

Now that’s just rich. You see, the truth of the matter is that tuition at the most liberal institutions of higher learning is the highest. The more liberal an institution, the higher the tuition. Look at Harvard, Yale, or any other liberal school. You’ll see tuitions in excess of $30,000 per year.

And a liberal like Barack Obama is going to tackle the high cost of education that liberals like him are responsible for?

These Democrats blocked oil drilling, then they blame Republicans for the high cost of gas. They jack up tuition at liberal universities, then they blame Republicans for the high cost of education.

You would have to be an idiot to believe anything these Democrats say.

It never ceases to amaze me just what kind of disgusting liars these Democrats are.

Barack Hussein Obama gave a speech today hammering Republicans for high gas prices and job losses. Let’s take a look at this for a moment.

It was Democrats who blocked domestic oil drilling every time it came up. Many–if not the majority–of these job losses are directly tied to high gas prices, which would not be as high as they are if American oil companies were allowed to drill back in 2001. The auto industry, airlines, and even smaller employers like taxi companies and restaurants are being severely harmed by high gas prices, which the Democrats are responsible for.

Are the American people dumb enough to believe the lies of the Democratic Party? And why aren’t these Republicans talking about how Democrats did nothing but block oil drilling all these years? Wake up, Republicans! Tell the truth about Democrats blocking oil drilling so the people can hear the honest truth instead of lies and spin from the Democrats. Pull those Democrat voting records and present them to the public.

Democrats are insisting that a “green economy” will generate 5 million jobs. Uh, no it won’t. And you want to know the truth? The truth is that once the “green” infrastructure is built, those jobs will be gone.

Remember the internet economy of the 1990s? Telecommunications companies spent billions laying fiber optic cable all over the country. What happened to those jobs after all the cable was laid in the ground? The jobs were cut.

The fact is Republicans know that high taxes and high energy prices retard economic activity. Less money to spend means less economic activity and less investment. Makes sense, right? Not to Democrats.

Ah, Hillary Clinton. So many qualifications to be Commander in Chief… Yes, she sure has a lot of experience–at doing nothing.

In order to portray herself as ready for the position of President, Hillary tends to exaggerate her experience. Unless, of course, it’s about something negative, then she had nothing to do with it.

Some people actually believe her.

Now Hillary has been caught red-faced in a lie. Not a little white lie, not an embellishment, an outright lie. Mrs. Clinton said last week during a speech that she came under sniper fire while on a diplomatic trip to Bosnia in March of 1996. Hillary was quoted as saying:

“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”

Not only does that statement contradict what Hillary herself wrote in her own book, but it is the exact opposite of what really happened. Hillary didn’t have to run with her head down. She is seen in a Youtube video smiling and shaking hands as she and her party stood on the tarmac.

What a liar!

Here’s a video on Youtube of Hillary making the statements and video from the Bosnia trip.

Who in their right mind could support a liar and fraud like Hillary Clinton?

Democrat hero of the day, Barack Hussein Obama, has been caught in more lies.

Obama has been promising “change” in Washington and an end to politics as usual. The mindless Democrat voting drones have been eating up Obama’s drivel like a welfare recipient at an all-you-can-eat Twinkie buffet. These people are stupid, they’ll believe anything!

Last year, and brought to light again more recently, was the story of how Barack Obama engaged in a joint real estate transaction with Muslim, Syrian-born crook Antoin “Tony” Rezko, so Obama could get a $300,000 discount on a large, luxurious mansion. Originally, Obama downplayed his association to Rezko saying that the man accused of bribing officials, fraud, and other crimes, was just another nameless, faceless donor. That was a lie. The truth of the matter is that they were close friends, Obama directly sought out Rezko’s help arranging a deal for the property, and Rezko has bought and paid for Barack Obama, giving him his start in politics including his very first campaign contributions.

Now, Obama has been caught in another lie regarding his friend and spiritual advisor, the vehemently racist Reverend Jeremiah Wright. This is from ABC News:

Buried in his eloquent, highly praised speech on America’s racial divide, Sen. Barack Obama contradicted more than a year of denials and spin from him and his staff about his knowledge of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s controversial sermons.

Similarly, Obama also has only recently given a much fuller accounting of his relationship with indicted political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, a longtime friend, who his campaign once described as just one of “thousands of donors.”

Until yesterday, Obama said the only thing controversial he knew about Rev. Wright was his stand on issues relating to Africa, abortion and gay marriage.

But yesterday, he told a different story.

“Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes,” he said in his speech yesterday in Philadelphia.

There you have it. Barack Obama admits that he is a liar.

One must wonder how absolutely stupid a person must be to think that Barack Obama, the son of a Muslim, bought and paid for by a crooked Muslim businessman, is suitable to be the leader of the free world.

There is no question that now that the media has more closely scrutinized Obama, that major cracks in his highly polished, plagiarized facade have appeared. It starts with a hairline crack, then it only gets larger until the real Barack Hussein Obama is revealed.

Just wait.

Well, here we have another bogus study conducted by liberals. This time, the study isn’t a gross exaggeration of Iraq civilian deaths, a study that was recently proven to be full of excrement. This latest one is a study of “false statements” made by the Bush administration to justify the Iraq War, undertaken by liberal “journalism organizations”. The so-called study was conducted by the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism. Yeah, as if we are too dumb to realize that there is neither integrity nor independence to be found in either of those two organizations just because their names give the impression otherwise…

(MSNBC Article)

Too bad they don’t mention that 100% of the statements Bush made about Iraq, its WMD programs, and nuclear aspirations was said years earlier by Democrats. See our Democrat Iraq War Quotes for more.

This so-called study is left-wing propaganda and nothing more. A statement is only false if the person saying it knows it to be untrue. For example, serial rapist Bill Clinton made false statements about not having a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because he knew that he did indeed have such a relationship with her. Bill Clinton lied. He made false statements. Bush did not.

When you make a statement based on information you believe to be true, that is not a deliberate false statement or a lie. We live in a world of imperfect information. As such, we must formulate our views based on the information we have access to. Bush and the Democrats years before him were given information claiming that Saddam was a threat and they all believed it.

Democrats and Republicans almost universally felt that Saddam Hussein was a threat, a viewpoint that was justified because Saddam was a mass murderer and did at one time have and use chemical weapons against civilians, never proving that he got rid of him as required. Saddam Hussein was a dangerous man. Revisionist history doesn’t change the truth.

This type of bogus study and the unbalanced, biased news coverage it generates will only serve to fool the idiots and dolts among us into believing, the few that don’t already, that Bush lied. But a quick internet search reveals a treasure trove of Democrat quotes, all of which make the same claims Bush made about Iraq, some of them years before Bush was fairly elected in 2000.

In a speech to the floor of the Senate, John Kerry said the following on November 9th, 1997—a full three years before Bush was elected:

“We must recognize that there is no indication that Saddam Hussein has any intention of relenting. So we have an obligation of enormous consequence, an obligation to guarantee that Saddam Hussein cannot ignore the United Nations. He cannot be permitted to go unobserved and unimpeded toward his horrific objective of amassing a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.”

On December 16th, 1998, Bill Clinton said in a speech to the nation:

“Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.”

“Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.”

“Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons…”

“The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government — a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people.”

There is much, much more where that came from. Watch this Youtube video for more Democrat quotes about how dangerous Saddam Hussein was back in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

You see, the truth is out there. You just have to spend a few minutes to look for it. But judging by how many millions of Democrat voters spend their entire lives on welfare because they are too lazy to get off their fat butts to get jobs to support themselves and their families, I don’t expect many of them to spend the two minutes necessary to discover the truth behind these “Bush lied” claims. Thus, they will happily believe whatever the liberal media tells them and believe it to be true, unquestioned.

The Iraq War is just as much the Democrats’ War as it is Bush’s. They were the ones who laid the groundwork for war all during the 1990s with their never-ending claims of Saddam being such a dangerous threat to the world.

Ignorance and idiocy are the best friends of the Democratic Party.

Democrats in Congress have temporarily abandoned their plans to surrender the Iraq War by forcing a premature withdrawal of US troops. Basically, the Democrats don’t have enough votes to require American troops to leave or cut off funding, as everyone knew they wouldn’t, so they are taking a little break for now.

What’s interesting, however, is that even though Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards—the leading DFL candidates for the Democratic Party nomination—have all refused to pledge that they would withdraw troops before 2013 should they be elected, Democrats are still pushing forward with their Sabotage The War effort. But why?

It’s a disgusting political game, and nothing more. I’ll bet that if the Democrats actually had a chance at succeeding at withdrawing troops that they wouldn’t be pressing this issue. They know that they’ve got no chance, so they can be as absurd as they want to be.

But at least they get in good with their delusional, anti-war liberal supporters by pretending to be fighting for something they know they have no chance of winning. This way, they dampen the criticism of their vocal constituency and the political contributions keep rolling in. Liberals are so gullible!

I wonder if the anti-war lefties realize that they’ve got no one they can support who actually shares their viewpoint regarding the war.

Remember: a few months ago Hillary Clinton was demanding that American troops start leaving Iraq in 90 days and now she herself is refusing to commit to pulling out soldiers by 2013. Absolute fraud is what it is.

The only time a Democrat isn’t lying is when he or she isn’t saying anything. But even then, they are probably thinking about lying.

At yesterday’s Democratic presidential debate at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, Barack Obama said, “(When Hillary Clinton failed to socialize healthcare in the early 1990s) 80 percent of Americans already wanted universal health care…”

Oh really? Where does Obama get that figure? I don’t know a single person who wants government-controlled healthcare. The 85% of Americans who do have health insurance probably don’t want to trade in what they’ve got for an inferior Democrat-controlled system.

The only thing the Democratic Party has succeeded at in the past 50 years is to take peaceful, prosperous middle-class communities and transform them into welfare dependent hellholes of crime and violence. Well, they’ve also succeeded at destroying schools and dumbing down education, too. Let’s give credit where credit is due.

If given the chance, Democrats will destroy healthcare, too.

I think these Democrats make up their statistics on the fly. They do nothing but lie. You must be mighty gullible or mighty stupid to support the Democratic Party.
