Election '08 Caught Lieing!

  • I thought since we all love politicians and know their propensity to uhmmm, alter the facts, we needed a thread to highlights these errors.

    I would like to start off pointing out the Ad Obama is running in Ohio saying how McCain has cost the state 8000 jobs because of allowing DHL to merge with Airborne Express. The AFL-CIO teamsters are saying because of how McCain voted in 2003 to an amendment which would have blocked the merger that these workers are being laid off. The facts are McCain did not vote for the amendment because it was tucked in a totally unrelated bill. Next was the fact that the AFL-CIO teamsters were in favor of the merger at that time. I guess they wanted it both ways and when it didn't work out they figured they could blame someone else and I guess they figure their members are too stupid to remember, maybe they are right. In my opinion unions are as corrupt as the rest of the politicians, no wonder they always support democrats. Oops, did I say that, lol.

  • the world would be a better place if the politicians could learn to be as economical with tax payers cash as they are with the truth.
    Just an ordinary girl finding her way in this strange life. - What will it take to get everyone to realise that everyone else is also a human being that deserves just as much respect? - How does someone tell their doctor they have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? - When I was a student I specialised in Alcopology. It always starts with Alco and always ends with pology. - Waiter! There's a hare in my rabbit pie!

  • Very true Mary, the thing is why then do so many mind numb robots go along with what they say thinking they are going to get something for nothing?

    BTW, nice new picture Mary.

    Thanks for the compliment - I love the new look.

    Back to you post - Most of our politicians are lawyers (no offense) and lawyers are trained to lie. Ergo: most politicians lie.
    My personal reason for not hitting the streets protesting( I'm chicken)is the attitude of the bureauocracy has not changed any since Selma, Alabama. Any lage protest against authority is considered a riot and the SWAT team arrives.
    Sorrry I digress from you original thread.
