McCain the Lying Liar


I would think that after 8 years of Republican lies, distortions, deceptions, misdirections, and misinformation, that it would be a major campaign issue for a candidate to show that they are not reckless with the truth.

I just saw McCain say, in PA, that Sarah Palin rejected the Bridge to Nowhere and said that if they needed a bridge Alaskans would build it themselves. This is false. It is a lie. The truth is this(From the Anchorage Daily News):

Governor  Sarah Palin initially supported the bridge, but canceled it when the Alaskan delegation was unable to avoid changes to federal funding levels that more than doubled Alaska's portion of the bill from $160M(40.2%) to $329M (82%) of the bridge's cost.

For It Before She Was Against It

Now, she just repeated the same lie.

Bio

I was raised by a kindly old gentleman in the wilderness near the Rio Branco. He died of natural causes when I was 16, and I drifted down river in a bark canoe not knowing what I would find and eventually arrived at a settlement of Franciscan missionaries.It was then I discovered that we had not been the only white men left after the Nuclear Holocaust, that in fact, there had never been a Nuclear Holocaust, and there was no need to forge our own bronze and iron and live off the bounty of the rain forest. I was probably kidnapped as a small child. I have dim memories of someone called Mae and Pai. I wandered the Pan American highway till I settled for a time in Zipolite, Mexico, where I worked as a silversmith. Eventually I met a beautiful young woman who was independently wealthy and she married me and took me to live in N Ca where we live on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. I have my own forge, and do blacksmithing for the local horses, in addition to my silver and bronze work. Adaptation to modern civilization has been a challenge for me ever since I realized I was deprived of my natural family and raised by someone who, though kind, must have been something of a lunatic. He did teach me many practical survival skills, however so I guess he wasn't all bad. I have ambivalent feelings about my whole childhood.
