kv0925I did not watch Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention last night, but I just read the transcript, and it made me glad I didn't watch it. It would have pissed me off--not just the untruths and insinuations in the speech, but the audience's enthusiastic reaction to those untruths and insinuations.
Read this, a nice little debunking of some of the lies being spun by Palin and others at the RNC. It'll maybe get a little of the sleaze off you.
Rough day so far at work. Blech.
EDIT: I don't want to imply that I think everything the Republicans say is evil crap and everything the Democrats say is anointed with the aura of Divine Truth. To be fair, here is a similar article debunking some of what was said at the Democratic convention last week. Politicians all lie and spin, it's part of the job. I just happen to believe that--this election, at least--the spin of the Democrats is closer to the truth and closer to where I'd like to see the country go than that of the Republicans, who have done a bang-up job over the past 8 years. And I do mean bang-up. And before anyone talks about how useless Congress has been since the Democrats took over as the majority party last year, why don't you just take a look at this.
