Is it now safe to assume that *anything* uttered by either Palin or McPalin is an outright lie,
right off the bat?

Even the crowd estimates and her "trip" to Iraq are lies.

She said it was gonna rain today, but the sun sure is shining where I am!

2. Sources of Compulsive Lying

Doctors don't really know why compulsive liars feel the need to avoid the truth. Compulsive lying may stem from feelings of insecurity. A made-up life can be tailored to impress anyone the person talks to. And, real-life problems can be glossed over or simply ignored. There's also some speculation that people who lie all the time have trouble telling truth from fiction. When a liar tells a tall tale, he or she quickly begins to believe it really happened.

It's possible that compulsive liars' brains even work differently from ordinary people's. One medical study showed that habitual liars had more white matter and less gray matter than people who don't generally lie.

11. This concept needs to be made into an ad
Do you want compulsive liars leading your country?

A medical professional or quotes can provide examples cross-edited with examples of McLiar and Paliar lying in speeches, interviews, and ads. If they wanted to hit real low, they could quote the bible in regards to the sin of lying.

The image of a "Liar" is something everyone (even the kool-aid drinkers) understands very, very clearly. If they try to deny it, they will have to say, "I am not a liar" which will have the same effect as Nixon saying, "I'm not a crook," which obviously is not the case.

7. Yes, and we need to do everything we can to make sure the American people
get it. We need to continue to call them out on their lies through DU and other message boards, LTTEs, and calls/emails to the corporate media.
