Another day, another lie from Palin/McCain

[pmcalk]

I wonder if anything out of their mouth has any semblance of truth any longer.  McCain is now running ads that are deceptive, or complete fabrications.  He claims that Obama is spreading false rumors about Palin, and references Factcheck as the source, even though Factcheck actually says that McCain distorts their findings.  McCain went on the View and claimed that Palin never requested earmarks as governors.  Of course that isn't true.  Even the ArmyTimes is questioning McCain veracity.  

McCain introduced Palin as the gun-toting maverick that stopped the bridge to nowhere.  Not true.  He said she stopped wasteful spending and fought against earmarks.  Again, not quite accurate.  When questioned whether Palin had traveled overseas, her spokesperson said that she had traveled to Ireland, Iraq, Kuwait, and Germany.  Later, it was revealed that she only refueled in Ireland.  Not what I would call an in depth tour of the country.  Now we learn that she didn't actually go to Iraq, but only went to the border crossing between Kuwait & Iraq.  

Then there are the exaggerations that are so extreme that they are ridiculous.  For starters, McCain & Palin have been making up the number of people attending their rallies.   McCain says that Plain knows more about energy than anyone else in the country.  Wow.  Move over T. Boone, and all you people with, you know, degrees in petroleum engineering, geophysics, or even some sort of science background.  And who knew that Alaska produced 20% of the country's energy?  Apparently, no one besides Ms. Palin because it just isn't true. But don't worry because she has foreign policy experience since she can see Russia from Alaska.  I can see the moon from my window and therefore I am an astronaut.

McCain must really being getting desperate to completely abandon any sense of integrity, and to start making stuff up in order to win.  Obviously, he knows he can't win on the issues.

Palin/McCain?  Thanks, but no thanks.

Nice post.

McCain has taken his honorable service to America and sullied it with a dis-honorable campaign.

Oh my GOD! Stop the presses...a political candidate is running ads that may "distort" the truth!!!

Did you notice the WHOPPER your candidate is telling in a recent set of ads where he says that he's going to cut taxes for 95% of US?  Explain to me how this is possible seeing as how only 60% of the population actually ever pays taxes?  How do you CUT taxes for people that DONT pay them to begin with?  It's called the "robin hood complex."

Tip of the iceberg...

I don't think you really want to get into the truth stretching, fabrications, and flat out lies from your candidate over the last few years.  I could post until Christmas and still not run out of material...

Obama has said he would provide tax cuts to 95% of the working poor (i.e., those who earn a wage).  You do realize that everyone who works pays taxes in the form of FICA and medicare, right?  Maybe you don't know too much about the working class poor, but there is a little thing called the Earned Income tax credit.  It is an incentive to encourage those who earn low wages to seek out work.  It is designed to offset the cost of FICA & medicare taxes, and is provided even when you owe no federal income tax.  President Bill Clinton worked hard to increase the EIC, resulting in a significant rise in the number of families lifted out of poverty.

You say that you could go on and on with examples of Obama fabricating, yet you provide not a single example.  I have listed most of the lies (there have been more) that McCain has spread, all backed by non-partisan references, and none of which you dispute.  Your candidate has nothing to offer the American people but more of the Bush legacy.  So instead of running an honorable campaign, he is doing anything he can to win.

Too bad the top 5% do not do 40% of the work....

So, when you talk about the "top 5%" getting "their asses taxed off" I assume you're talking about a return to the Bill Clinton tax code...

Yeah, the rich really got ripped off in the 90s.... "the biggest tax hike in American history".... I remember all that horrible unemployment for the wealthy in the 90s, and all the rich people going homeless and begging in the streets.... [}:)]

http://www.ontheissues.org/Economic/Barack_Obama_Tax_Reform.htm

Q: Is McCain going to go after you as another classic liberal tax and spender?

A: Well, I'm going to go right back at McCain, because look at his tax proposals. He not only wants to continue some of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and corporations, he actually wants to extend them, and he hasn't told us really how he's going to pay for them. It is irresponsible. And the irony is he said it was irresponsible. When George Bush initiated these tax cuts in 2001, McCain said, "This is shameful." He said that it offended his conscience, he said, for us to give tax breaks to the wealthy, particularly at a time of war. If you look at my approach to taxation, what have I said? I said I would cut taxes for people making $75,000 a year or less. I'd cut taxes for seniors who are making $50,000 a year or less. It is true that I would roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans back to the level they were under Bill Clinton, when I don't remember rich people feeling oppressed.

------------------------------------------------

Q: Can you make an absolute, read-my-lips pledge that there will be no tax increases of any kind for anyone earning under $200,000 a year?
CLINTON: I will let the taxes on people making more than $250,000 a year go back to the rates that they were paying in the 1990s.

Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes. We are going to offset the payroll tax, the most regressive of our taxes, so that families who are middle-income individuals making $75,000 a year or less, that they would get a tax break so that families would see up to $1,000 worth of relief.

Q: You both have now just taken this pledge on people under $250,000 and $200,000.

OBAMA: Well, it depends on how you calculate it. But it would be between $200,000 and $250,000.

------------------------------------------------

Q: If either one of you become president, and let the Bush tax cuts lapse, there will be effectively tax increases on millions of Americans.
OBAMA: On wealthy Americans.

CLINTON: That's right.

OBAMA: I'm not bashful about it.

CLINTON: Absolutely

OBAMA: I suspect a lot of this crowd--it looks like a pretty well-dressed crowd--potentially will pay a little bit more. I will pay a little bit more. But that investment will pay huge dividends over the long term, and the place where it will pay the biggest dividends is in Medicare and Medicaid. Because if we can get a healthier population, that is the only way over the long term that we can actually control that spending that is going to break the federal budget.

CLINTON: It's just really important to underscore here that we will go back to the tax rates we had before George Bush became president. And my memory is, people did really well during that time period. And they will keep doing really well.

As a Community Organizer for the Cook County Democrat Machine, Obama's south Chicago core constituents were 3rd Generation Welfare Moms living in Public Housing, collecting AFDC, Welfare, and Section 8 Housing Allowances.

They'd never worked a day in their lives.

Now, he wants to give them all a Tax Refund for never having paid any taxes......

It's called the EITC....except, there NO earned income.

Forbes hails 'the richest year in human history'

By Stephen Foley in New York
Friday, 9 March 2007

The number of people entitled to call themselves billionaires has skyrocketed over the past year, concentrating a staggering $3.5 trillion (£1.8trillion) of wealth into the hands of 946 men and (occasionally) women.


According to Forbes magazine, for years the official arbiter of the fortunes of the super-rich, a heady cocktail of global economic growth and soaring asset prices has created 178 new billionaires in just 12 months.

"This is the richest year in human history," declared the magazine's founder, Steve Forbes. "The best way to create wealth is to have free markets and free people, and more and more of the world is realising it."

You do understand we are discussing the Earned Income Tax credit, right?  Not welfare benefits, SSI, whatever.  From the IRS:

quote:This credit is called the "earned income" credit because, to qualify, you must work and have earned income. If you are married and file a joint return, you meet this rule if at least one spouse works and has earned income. If you are an employee, earned income includes all the taxable income you get from your employer.

I really have no idea what you are talking about.  But then I guess I am not alone.
