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.

I think the way to address those issues is to end the war, work towards renewable energy immediately, and shift the tax burden from the middle class to the wealthy while giving a hand to the poor and to small struggling businesses. That puts me firmly in line with Obama and opposed to McCain. If only the rest of the country would agree with me.. hopefully enough do.
