Palin hammers Obama on taxes in Ohio
Source: CNN

... “Here’s a little straight talk for our opponent,” Palin said, using her running mate’s signature phrase.

Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate: Obama would maintain the Bush tax cuts and offer tax breaks to individuals making under $250,000 a year. According to the non-partisan Center for Tax Policy, Obama’s tax plan would offer greater tax relief than McCain's for low and middle-income earners, but McCain's plan would lower the tax burden more across the board.

A debt to crush all debts ever incurred by any nation on earth.

2. right out of Rover's playbook, tell the big lie, claim it is the truth (straight talk) ..
And then repeat it over and over until people believe it. It is actually straight out of Hitler's book. Like so much or Karl Rover's crap.

4. I like it that the mediais calling McCain and Palin on their lies.
It's becoming part of the narrative, and I think it's what's going to bring them down in the end.

5. The narrative is so horrid..
"maintain the Bush tax cuts" ... why the fuck is everything in terms of the "Bush tax cuts," as if they are some sort of gold standard?

"McCain's plan would lower the tax burden more across the board." .. LOL, aka the wealthy get a huge tax break.

"Aren't exactly accurate" ... "da da da te the hu hundred percent truth test???" :rofl:
