McCain's Smear Tactics Backfiring

News outlets and independent truth squads seem to agree that the McCain camp's distortions on Barack Obama have gone too far.

After a crazy week of PigLipstickGate, the media is chastising McCain for stooping to new election lows. News organizations and admirable truth-squadding outfits reach a consensus to say "enough" to the McCain camp's efforts to demonize Barack Obama.

Los Angeles Times: New election low: distorting the fact-checking
FactCheck: McCain-Palin Distorts Our Finding
PolitiFact: If there's lipstick on a pig, it's this McCain ad
John McCain's ads are LIES. Here's the video proof.
Make McCain Disavow His Dishonest Obama Ad

It's sad that American elections are so full of misinformation and distractions these days. Voters are cheated by this reality since it takes the focus away from the real issues. Hopefully, many will see this for the charade it is and vote for the candidate they feel best represents their views and serves in the best interests of the country.

Let your voice be heard and tell McCain to disavow these dishonest tactics! Visit the following website for more information:

RNC Convention: Fear Mongering & Lies

From large issues to small lies, it would be hard to detail all of them. Some of them were almost laughable, like Mitt Romney blaming the eight years of the Bush Administration on "liberals." And some were trivial, like Mike Huckabee saying that Sarah Palin got more votes in her first run for mayor of a town of 7,000 than the 84,000 votes Joe Biden got in his Presidential run.

Here were just a few of the major lies from last night:
  • They continued the lies about taxes, when Barack Obama's tax policies are better than John McCain's for everyone but the folks as wealthy as John McCain.

  • They lied about Barack Obama's energy plan, ignoring his comprehensive plan in favor of their 'drill baby, drill" chanting.

  • They even smeared community organizing repeatedly, as if helping people organize to fight for their own rights is something to be mocked and denigrated.
The Republicans have nothing to run on, nothing to offer. If we take away their smears, they have nothing. Take that away by fighting for the truth:
