Best lie of either side on this campaign?

[Cronus Protagonist]

I'll go first... "The American people are smart".

By definition, AND by scientific testing, half of them are on the left side of the smartness bell curve - ergo, they're as dumb as two short planks. I like this one a lot because the best way to get dumb people on your side is to side with them and tell them they're smart, and they're smart for siding with YOU! :)

What's yours?

1. Country first

[Tutonic]

2. John McCain is a good man.

[Tutonic]

3. And Bristol made the choice to keep the baby.

[Cronus Protagonist]

10. lol

I like that one. The anti-choicers took that one hook, line and sinker! The power of repression over cognitive dissonance is clearly evidenced here. The anti-choicers are even CHAMPIONING her CHOICE! hahahaha :P

[dsc]

16. actually she demonstrably did

You may not like the choice she made but clearly she made it. She could have aborted it without her mom's permission but apparently chose not to.

[treestar]

19. Mom would disagree that she should have had a choice

That's what is wrong with repukes claiming this helps them. Why give her credit for making the "right" choice when according to them, there should be no choice?

[dsc]

20. I don't believe that gay people should be fired for being gay

that doesn't prevent me from thinking my principal did the correct thing in not firing me when I ended up telling her I was. I fail to see the difference.

[treestar]

22. But they don't believe there should be a choice for anyone else

For them, there is no choice to begin with, so why should they take credit for it?

This girl might have wanted her baby anyway. They're just assuming she made the choice to have the baby when she didn't really want to. So are they saying this child actually is unwanted, but they are making the choice to force themselves to have it as a penalty for their sexual misbehavior? That's how the right sees it.

Abortion is private and this girl could have had one and no one known any better. Obviously, she wanted the child all along. So this "choice" is no virtue. It's just what she wanted to do.

[dsc]

30. again that is fairly silly reasoning

Presumedly my Principal didn't fire me due to at least not caring if she had gay teachers on staff, she may have even wanted one for all I know. Regardless she made a choice, as did the younger Palin.

[treestar]

31. But they are the ones arguing there should be no choice

And she could have had an abortion an no one been the wiser. Therefore, she wants the child.

The choice to have the child is always one that could be made. Pro-lifers assume the child is not wanted and that the mother would choose abortion. But they are wrong. Sometimes, the mother chooses birth because she wants it. The reasons may not be so heroic. It may be to manipulate the father in the relationships.

But it's heroic only if she did not want the child in the first place. Which is evil for that child. I'm having you because it's a punishment for sexual transgressions.

The right wing is what they are. Having a baby, for them, is a punishment for sexual transgression (as they see it). If this girl wanted her baby, that'd be outside their agenda. It would mean she sinned and still gets what she wants! Wrong, in their opinions.

4. McCain and Palin are mavericks

Anyone who thinks the republican party will be different under the leadership of those two is delusional and/or stupid.

5. McCain and Palin are mavericks

Anyone who thinks the republican party would be different under the leadership of those two is delusional and/or stupid.

[Cronus Protagonist]

26. Of course they are! lol

n/t

[Tutonic]

6. I remember them saying if its too bad don't send the President,

send in the first lady. Now that is what I recall.

[BlooInBloo]

7. I love fair and ballanced questions.

[Tutonic]

8. And my water broke in Texas but I knew how important that speech

was. And Tod said, "Ain't no baby a mine gonna be borns down dere in Tex-has."

[lligrd]

9. I Like Yours. And Both Sides Are Guilty Of That Lie.

If they told the truth it would be, "You idiots allowed an unqualified party boy who has failed at everything he has ever done to steal the election, twice. You are a pathetic bunch of suckers."

Now you know why I will never be President.

[Cronus Protagonist]

14. You can't get to be president without lying

Either directly, or by omission... as you clearly demonstrated.

[Tutonic]

11. Well, lets see I've been to Germany, Ireland and Iraq...and if I stand

on the capitol dome I can see Putin giving judo lessens to Mrs. Sarkozy.

[Cronus Protagonist]

15. Yeah, the Ireland claim was a doozy, and it is technically correct

And on that basis, I have also shopped duty-free in Ireland... lol :P

[Tutonic]

12. I breast fed Trig in between meetings.

[Tutonic]

13. We've been quietly vetting the Governor for the last six months.

[Tutonic]

17. "I voted against the President and my party on many occasions."

[Cronus Protagonist]

21. lol... how many was that? 5 out of 100??

hehe :P

[bunnies]

18. Obama will raise your taxes.

:nuke:

[BuyingThyme]

23. As you know, I don't like to speak of my POW days.

[Cronus Protagonist]

25. ZINGER!!

Dayuhm! That's a really good one! So many people seem to believe it too!

[Sodan]

28. Who said that? hahaha /nt

[Cronus Protagonist]

29. In what respect, Charlie?

lol

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

24. That Sarah Palin, a/k/a The Trojan Moose, is qualified to be

anything more than the night manager of a Denny's in Juneau.

[Number23]

27. My Favorite is "Sarah Palin is the most popular Gov. in America"

Spoken ENDLESSLY by her running mate.

He seems almost deliberately clueless to the fact that a mere 2 and a half weeks ago, nobody could tell Sarah Palin from my great-grandmother, and she's dead. And was black.
