Sarah Palin's Speech: Full Of LIES!
Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True > Politik > John McCain > Sarah Palin
Looks like the lipstick wearing pit bull proved herself to be just like the typical politico types she slammed!
She's a liar and exaggerator!
The Associated Press closely watched Governor Sarah Palin, the GOP's VP pick, at last night's RNC convention and has outlined the many ways she exaggerated and lied.
Right or Left, a lie is a lie. It doesn't matter where on the political spectrum you are, right?
These are not 'personal' digs, mind you.
She's lying on the 'professional' stage, y'all.
Check out Pinocchio Palin's claims and the truth:
PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere."
THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."
PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."
THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.
PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."
THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.
Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.
He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.
The AP report also showed how Palin's champions have exaggerated the Alaskan governor's 'acheivements':
MCCAIN: "She's been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America's energy supply … She's responsible for 20 percent of the nation's energy supply. I'm entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America," he said in an interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson.
THE FACTS: McCain's phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she's no more "responsible" for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.
MCCAIN: "She's the commander of the Alaska National Guard. … She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities," he said on ABC.
THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under "federal status," which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska's national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.
FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States."
THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.
FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: "We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin."
THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.
We say if the 'means' are shady then it must mean the 'end' is shady.
No more shade!

Already the special needs child is being dumped off on others.
Oh, well. I'm sure he'll be reunited with his mom* grandmother* for photo ops.
oh, please….you act like she's the first politician to exaggerate or lie. give me a break. i'm thrilled that a woman actually has the chance to do it. i think it's about time we get to see what a woman can do. she's an american woman who has a full time job, husband and kids and all of the ups and downs that go with it all. she knows what we are going through. and does it ever bother you that obama's speeches just seem too perfect? i mean if it was SO easy to change this and change that..ALL for the good of the people, it's really hard for me to believe that someone wouldn't have done at least some of this stuff years ago. TEAM SARAH!
This is ridiculous. Sarah Palin's speech last night was amazing. Just because you exude liberal garbage out of every pore in your body doesn't mean you have to bash the opponents. You aren't even a credible political writer nonetheless does your opinion matter. Stick to what you're good at, and it's not politics.
McCain|Palin!
Thank you so much perez for getting this info to us. HAHA stupid republicans you are a bunch of liars and cynics.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm just really confused as to why a republican would even read this blog in the first place. This site is for all things gay and fabulous. Maybe Ann Coulter has a blog. Take your bitching there.
Re: Sexy Black Democrat –
Honey, your name says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you, most people dont read the AP or know who they are so Kudos to you for puting it out here…..Good job!!
Re: amylynn – A'freakin' MEN!! When will we hear about Barry's coke use (which he proudly wrote about) when SP's hubby was getting his DUI? And why isn't anyone in the "classic" media asking:
1. why, in the Dem debates, Biden said BO's not ready yet (now I guess he is?) and
2. why, when Biden ran for Pres in 80s, he said that the presidency doesn't lend itself to on the job training (which, ostensibly, BO would get).
This is so one-sided. Again, it's insane…
haha, Perez, Obama supporter's got served!!!! this post proves you are like a fish blown out of water by dynomite….
McCain/Palin 08
RE CHESSIE: YOU STUPID BITCH THEY WERE FACTS LEARN HOW TO READ
Re: crystolh – She fired a chef in Alaska. Now that's experience.
Re: sparkys nemesis –
the bitch wants to play with the boys, I say all is FAIR!! TEAR THAT NAZI DOWN!
Re: amylynn – IGNORANTBITCH PLEASE SHOW ME THESE FACTS?????
Oh no! She was rounding up or rounding down as needed, taking credit for somneone else's work, misdirecting and overstating just to make a point!!!??!!!
You'd NEVER hear Joe Biden doing that! I bet you could knock Bill and Hillary down with a feather! I can't even imagine Obama making such a statement either.
Palin had better learn fast that politians ONLY speak the exact whole truth or she's never going to be as successful as Bill, Hillary, Joe or Obama!
I don't read this for your political opinions. Please just stick to gossip!
Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN LOVER –
yes! She and her pitbulls should go home back to their PTA and gated communities and watch Hilter movies, like any good Nazi.
It is good to know that the Republicans are up to their old tricks, with a new twist…..The choice of Sarah Palin for VP nominee was very insulting to women everywhere. This women could not lead this country anywhere but back to the 50's with her conservative, Betty Homemaker views. And if she had so much control over her state government, why could she not control the behavior of her own kids at home…..HOT, HOT, mess.
Since when does a politican lie? Don't tell me she is religious too!
Sarah Palin is too good. TOO GOOD. Just watch MSNBC right now. Even their line up this morning are going nuts at how good her speech was, how well she delivered it, and all the punches she threw.
Mr. "2 memoirs and nothing else" Obama is not getting my vote after last night.
I'm sold.
She's a liar. McLAME is a liar. Mike HICKabee is a liar. They're liars, cheats and whores.
THE GLOVES ARE OFF!!!! How dare Palin and Guiliani openly mock community organizers, she was once a member of the PTA, A COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION. One of the greatest community organizers was Martin Luther King Jr. and he gave his life for his beliefs. I am disgusted that Guiliani had the nerve to spew "We are the party that freed the slaves, WHAT?!?!!!, All African Americans should be offended by that statement yet, we are being told to tip toe around Gov. Palin because she is a woman. The open blatant attack on Michelle Obama, Dismissing Geraldine Ferraro, A Republican strategist talking to Sam Donaldson, said "Everybody knows that Geraldine Ferraro was a throw away and the real 1st woman VP candidate is Sarah Palin, sexist or what? I am not prepared to have Senator Obama become the Jackie Robinson of Politics - Sarah Palin threw down the gauntlet AND WE ARE GOING TO ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I smell fear!!! She nailed!!!
Re: theone24 –
Please oh Please do post all the shady shit that was in Obama's speech! Im sure people would love that. I'll take a mother of 5 over another sleazy lawyer in Washington any day and im sure others would as well. Who better to know how to stretch a dollar and clean up the messes created by men?
"She is an embarrassment to woman and then to trot her pregnant unwed teenage daughter around as if it's all ok. OMG, go home and raise your dysfunctional family." Im a women and she most def. isn’t an embarrassment to me nor much women out there. Speak for yourself. So every family with a teenage mother is dysfunctional? So you're saying that a woman with kids can’t have a job while raising kids? Well what about CEOs, Owners of Business and what not? You sound very ignorant and I pity you.
As an Indep. I found much of what Sarah had to say as insulting and not factually accurate. 9-11 is EVERYDAY at my house NOT some soundbite and you know what sickens me, the implication that ONLY Republicans care about this country and are willing to die for it…. such a slap in the face to the DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS, YOUNG PEOPLE 18 that probably never voted for a President but was willing to DIE for US, not a politician. To resort to playing on our fears and trust me, I am afraid (but my fear is not blinding common sense we need change in the White House) and say Radical Muslim terrorists are out there waiting for us, listening to her I say "Sarah you are a radical Christian confirming Osama's Jihad" So JET, since you feel like crowing the success of Palin go on and Rebuttal the FACTS posted by the AP and Dems said it AFTER the speech as well. That speech was PEPPERED WITH OUTRIGHT LIES!!! No thank you Sarah Palin.
OBAMA/ BIDEN 2008!!!!
Who would've known I'd be getting the best political news from this site? Love you, Perez! Keep at it. Obama '08!!
**Perez is a LIAR!!!
I just checked the Associated press's website and they have 6 articles in the past 24 hrs on Sarah Palin—none of them include the info Perez is posting. He got this from a libtard democrap site. Fair & balanced my asz!
1. The woman did cut spending and taxes and her state now has a surplus
2. She has a 80% approval rating in her state
3. Obama DOES plan on raising taxes

There are so many things wrong with this article WASTEFUL spending is different than ASKING. What's she supposed to do? Tell the government NOT to give ANY money to the state? HUGE difference in WASTEFUL spending and spending anything at all - that should be your first clue that this article is extremely biased. Hey Fat Ass, did you actually do any research into WHAT those EARMARKS WERE FOR? Nope. Let some idiot do your talking for you - and one that's not so smart at that! Moving on to VOTING - he AUTHORED TWO BOOKS, NOT ANY REFORMS!!! HE DIDN'T WRITE THEM…. DUH. She's not saying he didn't "vote". OBAMA's "TAX BREAKS" are for GHETTO people. Not normal working families. This cap is only at roughly $20,000 annual income… a fast food worker makes more than that, it's essentially giving money to those who DON'T WANT TO WORK!!! Anyways, get real… and stop posting this nonsense.
Obama’s not exactly Mr. Sincere, here some of Obama's Not Exactly's:
1. My family has strong ties to African freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya .. It is the first widespread violence in decades.
2. My name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' . Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
3. I never practiced Islam - NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office. 4-3-08 Article "Obama was 'quite religious in Islam'
4. I am stronger on foreign affairs - NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.
5. An Ebony article moved me to run for office - NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn't, and never did, exist.
6. . Father was a proud freedom fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had..
Perez that Fact isn't a fact, she said she vetoed wasteful spending and protected the taxpayers, Hiring lobbyist isn't wasteful if they get their intended job done and as mayor what did she not veto? It's nice that you also neglect to tell us what that 750 million was for? could it be it was for … just maybe…. oil pipeline maintenance and infrastructure from which the government profits from more than oil companies? The rest I won't even address becasue its analytical spin and it's clear who is lying. Get someone who can actually analyze politics and fact check on you staff.
Re: crystolh –
Unfortunately, we are not in a postion right now to give an unseasoned soccer Mom the opportuntiy to see what she can do. We need a team who is well equipt to come out fighting, not someone who is "practicing" to be a world leader. What if McCain was to drop dead in office, would you seriously want someone this inexperiened to take over? At least Obama chose a seasoned politician to catch his adminstration if something happens to him.
Perez, I'm thankful that you are engaging us in debating the presidential campaign, but I have to say it is looking a bit scewed. At the moment it feels like a blatant attempt to smear the Republican party. If you want to truly make your viewers think, thereby making their own educated decision, then you should share the good, the bad, and the ugly on BOTH sides of the campaign!
Re: zzzz25 – you make a racist remark and all you can come back with is a dig at my alias? wow… you are really lighting up the room with your intellect. thanks for proving me right.
You say Palin earmarked $27 million in spending for Alaska.
Guess how much Obama has earmarked each year in the Senate?
$96 MILLION per year!
McCain has never earmarked even one dollar for Arizona.
Hmmm. I wonder who REALLY walks the walk?
Stay out of politics Perez. You sound like an idiot.
What is community organizing?
Community organizing is a long-term approach where the people affected by an issue are supported in identifying problems and taking action to achieve solutions. The organizer challenges those he or she works with to change the way things are"it is a means of achieving social change through collective action by changing the balance of power. The tactics and strategies employed by the organizer are similar to the processes of leadership including timing the issue, deliberate planning, getting the attention of the populace, framing the issue in terms of the desired solution, and shaping the terms of the decision-making process.
Add to that experience a Harvard Law degree, Sate and National Senate experience as well as law professor and I cannot understand why they are belittling this man
Perez, stick with what you know…celeb gossip. Stay outta politcs.
Perez your reporting is so biased and 1 sided. If your gonna dish the dirt in politics then lets get some equal dirt from both sides. We all know who you're voting for, now let us decide on our own. Just by dishing republican gossip is far from letting us decide on our own.
Re: Your Buggin – As a follow up… Given we do not seem to be seeing anything about what Obama stands for, I have been doing some hunting. I've come across a website that is obviously an Obama hater, but some info I find quite interesting. www.usweekly.com I actually thought I was going to the gossip magazine, but found this instead! lol
its sad and pathetic that people actually think that this is not what politics are about. if you think that just because Obama is a celebrity and an inspirational speaker that he hasn't lied and stretched the truth then you are sadly mistaken. Welcome to the real world. Why don't you all start using your brains and pick a candidate not based on their children or their college pictures or how many actors they can get to endorse them. Pick someone who cares about the same issues you care about. And if after exploring ALL of the issues you still feel like a little bit of you isn't part democrat AND republican, then you're not done exploring.
Perez… this is well known FAR LEFT WING-NUT drivel. I've never seen the left so upset and nearly suicidal over a candidate. She scares the bejabbers out of them and I find it endlessly amusing. Keep it coming. I don't want this to ever end.
Re: snarkybitch – and you can suck the water out of my SHIT!
You know, perez, these "comebacks' from the Liberal media are really far-fetched. The Liberal media and obama are shaking in their boots right now, rince the Right is SO ENERGIZED it is not even funny.
She and Rudy freakin' MOPPED THE FLOOR WITH OBAMA LAST NIGHT - it was AMAZING!!!
Obama is a JOKE - please don't be deceived by his empty speak. he will trash this country with taxes, and we will move back to a Welfare State. Don't you like Capitalism, Perez? People with initiative? Don't be hyptnotized by that Jack-Ass!
Re: jaycie – Won't happen, jaycie! Won't happen on this web site or any of the Obama supporting media outlets like the Associated Press. If sites (regardless of political stripe) posted something Americans could compare then those same Americans would be able to make decisions on their own and not follow what the press wants them to.
Re: 6chip –
if thats all it takes to convince small minded ppl like ur self then i really afraid of what this world is comming to.
WHETHER YOUR A DEM OR A REPBUB.
PLEASE CHECK ALL FACTS BEFORE YOU VOTE.
DONT BASE YOUR VOTE ON WHAT PEREZ THINKS, WHAT THE CELEBS THINK, OR WHAT THE MEDIA THINKS, AND ESPECIALLY WHAT THE CANDIDATE SAYS!!!!!!!!!!
do ur research
do ur research
do UR OWN FREAKIN research!
* Obama said he could “pay for every dime” of his spending and tax cut proposals “by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens.” That’s wrong – his proposed tax increases on upper-income individuals are key components of paying for his program, as well. And his plan, like McCain’s, would leave the U.S. facing big budget deficits, according to independent experts.
* He twisted McCain’s words about Afghanistan, saying, “When John McCain said we could just 'muddle through' in Afghanistan, I argued for more resources.” Actually, McCain said in 2003 we “may” muddle through, and he recently also called for more troops there.
Re: Ms. Sugar Walls – You've been spoonfed and don't care to investigate further it seems. He was NEVER a law professor. He was a LECTURER. The school gives all lecturers professor titles out of respect for the kids to call him that, AND he only gave a handful of ACTUAL LECTURES. You defined community organizing, but not anything Obama's done. He was only "organizer" for a year, BY HIS OWN ACCOUNT. You can't see a total change in a year and the neighborhoods he championed for NEVER SAW ANYTHING FRUITS OF HIS "ORGANIZING". He was a lawyer at a SMALL TIME FIRM. Not a big one and argued no large cases. In fact, was only head lawyer in court a handful of times. Yes, he graduated from Harvard Law, so have thousands of other people, doesn't make them qualified to run a country. In fact, in my eyes, makes them less so because as demonstrated, teaches you how to SCHMOOZE and SWEET TALK people into believing a side, often without facts.
* He said McCain would fail to lower taxes for 100 million Americans while his own plan would cut taxes for 95 percent of “working” families. But an independent analysis puts the number who would see no benefit from McCain’s plan at 66 million and finds that Obama’s plan would benefit 81 percent of all households when retirees and those without children are figured in.
* Obama asked why McCain would "define middle-class as someone making under five million dollars a year"? Actually, McCain meant that comment as a joke, getting a laugh and following up by saying, "But seriously …"
* Obama noted that McCain’s health care plan would "tax people’s benefits" but didn’t say that it also would provide up to a $5,000 tax credit for families.
* He said McCain, far from being a maverick who’s "broken with his party," has voted to support Bush policies 90 percent of the time. True enough, but by the same measure Obama has voted with fellow Democrats in the Senate 97 percent of the time.
* Obama said "average family income" went down $2,000 under Bush, which isn't correct. An aide said he was really talking only about "working" families and not retired couples. And – math teachers, please note – he meant median (or midpoint) and not really the mean or average. Median family income actually has inched up slightly under Bush.
Where's Obama's speech and all its lies???? If you report on one candidate…then report on the other….
MCCAIN/PALIN 08
Re: Jenny2 – aCTUALLY THAT'S NOT TRUE…. NONE OF WHAT PEREZ SAID IS MADE UP SWEETY SORRY. hE NOT THE ONLY ONE REPORTING TEH TRUTH MAJOR PAPERS ARE AS WELL. SARAH HAS TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT SHE SAID LAST NITE WAS GOING TO BE LOOKED INTO.. AND IT WAS AND SOME OF THE THINGS SHE SAID WAS A LIE….. HALF OF THOSE THINGS SHE SAID SHE HER SELF AS DID NOT DO… A LIAR IS A LIAR… SHE ALREADY ADMIT SHE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE POSITION SHE IS STILL LEARNING. DO YOU WANT SOMEONE THAT LIES, STILL LEARNING FOR TEH BIGGEST JOB N THE WORL AND CAN'T KEEP TRACK IF HER DAUGHTER IN SCHOOL OR GETTING DICK…. WAKE UP!
I wonder, with her being isolated in Alaska, how she would handle living inland? I say, drop her off in the middle of Times Square and try to give her bullshit speech. We'd laugh! Wonder if she's ever seen a black person too?? Maybe Diddy was right! That's scary!
*Moving on to her executive accomplishments in the oil industry, thus weeding out corruption and enforcing ethics, she put the big oil people….and their taxes, in the Alaskan bank. She introduced and enforeced this reform….she did it, she didnt' watch comeone else do it and say….yeah, I agree…SHE did it. She managed, at the highest level, the country's largest, land mass, state….it is a land of many riches, many riches we have yet to really tap into. Presently, Alaska supplies 20% of the nation's present oil production…third to Gulf rigs and Texas, not because it is all they can provide…but it is all they are presently providing. She enforces proper management of the environmental laws and taxation of big oil, all provinding a huge surplus for her state. It is a big job, and for you to sweep it away….well, that is ignorant.
*Now the National Guard of Alaska, which borders a specific country we have a history of tension with, cannotbe simply tossed off as unnecessary and inactive when in Alaska! That is just silly! I will not further address the absurdity of that statement.
Re: chessie_ – What was her speech about? What did she prove? Oh, I know that she knew how to piss of everyone who is a community organizer by mocking what they do. If I'm not mistaken wasn't she on the PTA, Yes…she was which happens to be a community organization. She's not even thinking about what she's saying or being told to say she's just out there to pump up a dying party. By taking a shot at Michelle Obama, I am happy to say that she had dug her own grave her and the asshole Guiliani who stated "We are the party that freed the slaves"
Good to know! But that comment from Mike Huckabee was OBVIOUSLY meant to be a joke, they didn't have to actually research whether it was true or not.
I don't like how she said : that commuity organizers do not have a real responisbilty! How can a person that never traveled outside her state except Idaho, tell you that a community organizer do not have responsiblities? if they don't know exactly what they do? So, what is the saying to the middle class america? that is trying to save kids from a life of drugs, crime, and more babies? is it: fuck the kids on the street, lock em up. Our Jails are over crowded. That makes absolutely no sense to say that community organziers have no responsiblites.
*Palin received more votes, per capita…lol. Not only did she recieve the votes, but moving on in her career, her approval rating (over 80%) speaks for itself.
*Now, about a nation in need of change..all I will say is action. Palin stands for and provides a history of action. Said before, she not only talks the talk (consistently); but, she also walks the walk (consistently). What she stands for, she has stood for….same with McCain…they are consistent and have a history of following through, SUCCESSFULLY AT THAT, with their promises.
*Pigez, next time you want to cut and paste from a propaganda provider…do your homework….it only hurts you, and makes your ignorance and attempts at defamation apparent.
Re: lara – i am sure he has but we are talking about sarah for V.P. AND SHE CAN POSSIBLE BE THE PRESIDENT. I THINK ALL LIES SHOULD BE PUT OF THERE IN THE FRONT. i DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I CARE WHO IS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY.. SHE LIEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD PERIOD BIG TIME. PERIOD…
Re: SaM said it!!! – wow, such hateful words. unfortunately, for you, mr. perfect obama wrote about his drug use in his own book, since you're such a big supporter you should go buy it and read it for yourself, being that you must be so intelligent and all. biden's son was involved with mbna payoffs. we can all sit here and post facts off various websites all day, if you give me a minute. I'll do that for you - since you're apparently not intelligent enough to do it for yourself.

Re: zzzz25 –
Just because Obama has a more known supporter base does not mean that he doesnt have substance. All politicians lie point blank. But its about who is gonna lie to us the most and what they are going to lie to us about.
MMM the teapot calling the kettle a liar and an exaggerated… lol!
Piggy instead of that why don't you apologize to the ones you hurted with previous posts… maybe after that we would believe your role model attitude… She is no saint, she is human… i disagree with most of her points of views but I don't think that being disrespectful to her and her family will change a thing… asking you to be classy with your remarks will be stupid on my part though….
give me a fucking break. where's your in-depth analysis of the lies spread throughout Obama's speech last week. don't pretend that your bashing Palin (FOR NO REASON, you have no idea what the truth is!) has nothing to do with the incredible influence liberal media has on assholes like you. you don't know anything about politics, you only know what liberal msnbc is telling you- which are NOT the facts. it's so disturbing to me that you and a good amount of people that read your site are so brainwashed by the media that you seriously believe Obama's has any real and concrete plans for our country. it's so disgusting that you are willing to support an administration that is guarenteed to completely ruin our country.
Re: Ladeedah – Define Ghetto People???
Re: winterseyes –
Lincoln was a republican.
Wait a minute - I thought this was a website about gossip of the stars?? If I want to read about politics than I will just read CNN instead! So, Perez, go back to doing what your good at - slandering the stupid stars and making me laugh. Also, your beliefs are not everyone else's beliefs so stop trying to shove them down our throats!! And I am a Republican and proud of it and I also have sister who is a lesbian who is also a Republican and continuing to tell us how they are anti-gay (which they are all anti-gay, not just Republicans) makes you look stupid and small-minded.
Re: mjl – ummmm THOSE ARE NOT PEREZ FACT SWEETY HE DIDNT SIT AT HIS COMPUTER AND MAKE IT UP…. IT'S PUBLIC RECORD WHAT SHE DID AND NOT DO… SO READ A PAPER AND LEARN MORE YOUR SELF ABOUT HER NOT WHAT SHE SAID ON TV YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID WOW…

Yet, she spent an evening sneering and ridiculing Obama. And his voters.

Re: The Lala – You know what as weird as you may think it is I lean more towards Obama. My child will be screwed either way sweetie, we have all not gotten much from our government, or have you? It is all politicians I go both ways with the parties but, I can honestly say they do nothing for me! I am a upper middle class, hispanic female, I am a professional and I get no tax breaks or no free rides no matter who is in power,. The bin ladin thing is just weird that all our enemys names are some how related to the democratic presidential canidates, weird!!!
Re: Intellect_Rules – What an ASSHOLE thing to say about a POW!!! Apparently, intellect does NOT rule in your world. . . .
I can't help but notice how nit picking and childish this post is… and seriously Perez, copy and pasting from the Yahoo home page… really?! Anyway, as an OBAMA supporter i have to say - she was impressive. and the "lies" are nothing more than campaign talk… EVERYONE does it. I can't help but also notice how people are trying to tear down the WOMAN and the BLACK MAN in this campaign. I'd love to see an Obama/Palin ticket! BRING IT!
Re: Your Buggin –
Hey , wolf in sheeps clothing, why don't you TRY Obama's WEBSITE if you want to KNOW his definition of CHANGE… you know that 33 page "blue print for change" located under the Issues tab? If you really intend to research the candidate, I just gave you a legit go to where you can CRITICIZE anything HE states.
I LOVE the fact that everyone forgets that Obama was affiliated and worked with homegrown terrorist/ anit-american William Ayers, and had a long time relationship with Anti-american rev. Jeremiah Wright. Put all these facts together with michelle obamas "america is mean" speech, do we really want a man tagged along with these shady people as the leader of our country?? C'mon people do your research (along you too perez) and wikipedia or yahoo these people. Some people see "change" and greek columns and fireworks and think "OMG obamas great but if you research the truth about him, its all shady! McCain endured torture and pain for 5 years as a POW, do any of you know what that means? He sacrificed his mind and body for freedom!Tell me a story as great as that about obama "the community organizer" , please moms in the PTA are also community organizers, where are these people that he so called helpled out of poverty? where are they??? so before you vote for "change" think about who really really is for their country!! McCain/Pain '08
i have never written on this and love the website perez…BUT, BUT, BUT…..why do you think that your view is the only answer??? The reality is that most republicans keep their views to themselves….WHERE THEY BELONG and most liberals need to spout as much lies and bullshit as humanly possible to get more votes. I don't bash anyone that will vote for Obama…THAT IS OUR RIGHT TO VOTE HOW WE WANT. If I want to get political facts, I guarantee that I don't come to your website Perez…I go to the real news. This website is suppose to make my work day better and make me laugh and take me out of reality….DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE DON'T NEED YOUR POLITICAL B.S. ON HERE??? You have every right that any other american does to say how you feel, but understand that there are two sides to EVERY story and as a working woman that isn't even married or has kids..SARAH PALIN IS A GOD SEND!!! ITS THE ANTI HILARY! I love how because she has devoted her life to her family and the american people that she is being knocked for that…..thats like bashing a candidate for being GAY…DO YOU GET THAT PEREZ???? She has overcome things that most women (including myself) couldnt even imagine doing…..ALL YOU LIBERALS ARE THE SAME CLOSED MINDED ASSHOLES THAT DONT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE BALLS (MAN OR WOMAN) TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE! HOPE WILL NOT STOP THE TERROISTS FROM KILLING ALL OF US…GET IT PEOPLE!
Re: MizWickeD – Miz, TESTIFY!!! Why has NONE of this come up? It's just….curious!
Re: chottie54 – Chottie, they're facts because the AP reported them? Ok, chucklehead, why don't YOU go read and do your own research!!!?
Dear P: Don't be so biased. The Dems lie as good as any of 'em. Why r u such a hater?
Thank You Perez!! I know this is a celebrity gossip sight, but it IS important to talk about the candidates, after all it is the future of out nation!! For these people who dont care, shame on you! I am addicted to celebrity gossip too, but I think that this stuff is more important than sluttienna's latest rendezvous with the flavor of the moment. Its nice to have a balance of both on this website. Also, no matter what you say, or prove their "so-called" facts in their speeches wrong, the republicans will always believe they are right?! I just don't get it? The ignorance?!
Re: LS – You dingbat - where in the hell did I say AT ALL , that ghetto was BLACK. I said Ghetto people - sounds like YOU are the true racist, because you assumed Ghetto people meant black. Ghetto people can be ANY race, religion, sex, what have you. It's the people who don't want to work, the people who put in no time or taxes and benefit off OUR dimes. It's the idiots who, for no other reason but to be lazy, don't want to work, or want to run drug rings instead of being productive members of society.
Re: Ms. Sugar Walls – Your comparison is vacant. She's never been on the nat'l stage. BUT, she has been the CEO of a state. A state w/ a GDP of (in 06) $39BB, +/-.
And, to suggest that because Lincoln was an (R) in "…a different century…" has othinig to do with anything. The fact is, he was an R. But, perhaps the fact that R's passed civil rights leg in the 60s bothers you, too.
By the way, I loved Sarah's jab at BITTER Michelle Obama, where she said (small town pwople) "…are ALWAYS PROUD of their Country".
I HATE MICHELLE OBAMA — WHAT A BITCH!
She is right!!
PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."
This one really gets me. What she said is he has never “authored” a major law. Which is CORRECT. The response is such a stretch and still doesn’t say that he authored anything! Even in the Illinois State senate – even though he was “the leader,” he still didn’t write the legislation!
Re: Ms. Sugar Walls – For someone who talks about weak arguments, you are comparing straight votes against two states with extremes on population. Apples to apples, compare per capita. She unseated a long time member and then went on to reform her state.
Re: MizWickeD –

I too am from Hyde Park, IL and let me tell you something, CHICAGO IS THE MOST SEGREGATED, NORTHERN CITY and Barack has been grilled, spitfired, roasted black and blue and still SURVIVED. So if your still stuck on not getting all the facts then you choose not to, that simple. You ever wonder why John McCain never wants people to look TOO CLOSELY into his life? There's as many skeletons in his bakyard too. Do you hear any Dems ( i'm Independent) still harping on Keating 5, his rejection to the updated GI BILL granting soldiers their medical due that we IGNORE, calling his wife a cunt, him being a skirt chaser, Rod Parsley his Spiritual advisor, Checking out sarah's ass on National TV… How about focusing on the ISSUES and WHAT each ACTUALLY PLAN to do in regards to healthcare, economy, the wars etc. you know, shit that actually matter since what you stated has been hashed and re hashed a MILLION TIMES!!!
"He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise."
Anything that hurts businesses, hurts every American - rich, poor, middle class, young, old, black, white. If businesses are being taxed more, workers are laid off, production slows, consumers have to pay more & therefore spend less and the cycle continues until the economy is in the toilet. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
Can someone please fact-check Obama's speeches? I'm sure they are all 100% truthful.
Re: Minx – Well now Minx, thanks for the info, but honestly…. do you really think I haven't already been there?
Though, if I were to simply go to the McCain or Obama website & stop there it would be a bit biased, wouldn't you think? After all, they are not going to provide the bad & ugly, just the fluff. I'm ready for a bit more than fluff.
I want to know what has their track record been. What do they REALLY stand for when they actually get up to vote. Of course, I don't agree w/ every decision for either party, but I am looking to decipher what I can live w/ vs. what I can not. For instance, I'm not so sure I can handle Obama's decision to allow late term abortions w/o exception. From what I've seen, McCain is not trying to abolish abortion, but simply to give our State government control over these decisions. He's not a big government supporter, nor am I. So though I cringe at the idea of over turning Roe vs. Wade, I am ok as long as it does not ban State governments from making their own decision. Let's face it, some states are more liberal than others. I'm an abortion supporter (late term only when medically necessary), but I'm a semi-liberal New Yorker! I don't expect every state to feel the same, and I'm not so sure it is our government's place to mandate such an act.
Once again, the dumb bitch mentioned nothing about issues facing our country - just more of the same bullshit all republicans are known for. Ann Coulter with hair dye.
GO MCCAIN/PALIN 08 ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!
Dude, seriously. This is a little sad. Cause Obama and his wife's speeches were SO truthful? I look forward to either having a conservative once again in office, or watch the Dems drive this country into the ground, so that the ONLY people with common sense can run the country again.
Re: LS – #149
1. Yes, Perez DID make up the part that the associated press is claiming she is lying. None of the quoted info Perez used was in any of the 6 articles that they have on Sarah Palin from the past 24 hrs…so for Perez to claim the Associated Press—is a lie. He got the crap from a libtard site
2. Don't call me "sweety"…or do you also enjoy belittling college educated women with name calling? I am a educated wife, mother, nurse and definitely not your "sweety"
3. I have watched CNN, MSNBC, Fox and read 3 major national newspaper reviews today of Sarah's speech—NOT one states her speech was "full of lies". In fact, both liberal and conservative commentator's claim she hit a "home-run" with her speech.
4. No, I don't want "SOMEONE WHO LIES RUNNING FOR THE TOP JOB IN THE WORLD"–hence why I am voting AGAINST Barack Hussein Obama.
5. As to your pitiful gripe about her daughter's inability to "stay away from a dick"…. 50% of high school girls have sex. More than 40% of sexually active teen girls get pregnant within the first 2 years of starting intercourse. The fact that Sarah Palin's daughter is an unfortunate picture of normal teenage young women—DOES NOT discount her ability to perform her job

"someone please factcheck Obama's speech"
Why? The Republican party had a WHOLE WEEK to comment on the DNC. If Sarah Pitbull Barracuda "hottest gov. from the Coolest state", oh I'm sorry, her SCRIPT WRITERS ( Rove brigade) hadn't PEPPERED her SPEECH WITH OBVIOUS LIES, the news wouldn't be all over it like flies on shit. Obama's speech is available in pdf format for you to read and factcheck YOURSELF. Don't take other people's words as gospel, do your own research and make a choice. It's clear to me, however; you already did, you CHOOSE to remain ignorant.
Republican scum
Re: Your Buggin –
NO, it wouldn't be Biased, you have their words to FIGHT THEM BACK WITH and FORMULATE your OWN opinion on what YOU THINK is BS and Unachievablle and What you think is Unrealistic and impossible. Don't fight the Party FIGHT THE POLITICIAN. This 2 party system is killing this country.
I really find it hard to believe that so many Americans are falling for the McCain/ Palin charade. If people think the country is in a sad state now, I can't imagine what it will be like if these two win the election.

As for your point on Obama, I too support your stance on late term abortions and have stated so already. I think abortions if chosen should be done within the first 2 21/2 months.
perez honestly stfu.
you make barak look like an angel and palin look like satan.
JUST because you like oboma better doean't mean you can BS mccain. i dont even like mccain because hes a homophobe. but Obama lies. hes a part of an anti american white hating church.
COMPLETE racist.
Re: DirtyDee – And what does that have to do with my question? Please define Ghetto People.
Re: mipadreeracalvo – Are people really ENERGIZED! or is that what Blackburn said 15 times that you mimicked? Get a grip - do you REALLY understand their policies? And I am pretty sure anyone on Perez's site probably is the conservative they claim to be. I'm pretty sure drawing cum on people's faces isn't the kind of thing right-wingers 'support' publicly.
Try listening to NPR!
