I think Biden and Obama sum up what I thought of the Republican convention:
Joe Biden
Barack Obama on community organizing:
I was absolutely disgusted at Palin and the other Republicans mocking the work of tens of thousands of people who try to make their communities better every day. Mocking the types of people who started the civil rights movement, the right for women to vote, the people who build homes for the homeless, feed the hungry, and find jobs for the jobless. Instead we just get Rudy's cackle and Sarah's patronizing speech, laughing at the hard work of people trying to make the world a better place. It makes me sick.
More on my thoughts on the convention, and the bold-faced lies and deceit of Palin in the next update, but I just have to point out this whopper right now. In Wednesday's speech, Palin said:
"But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."
Is a complete and utter lie of the greatest magnitude that I think shows exactly what kind of person she is. Obama has written hundreds of bills in state Senate dealing with healthcare, the enviroment, the economy, and dozens of bills in the US senate, and has had major laws on nuclear proliferation, ethics reform, and government transparency passed and made into law during his time in the US Senate. It's a very very simple irrefutable fact, that she knows it's not true, but she gets up and lies on national TV. She is playing the American public for fools hoping the average person won't bother to find out she was lying her butt off. What kind of morals does someone like this have, and what will she lie about next time when the stakes are even more serious?
My head exploded when I was watching the speech and she claimed that. There's mistruth's, exaggerations, intellectual stretches, etc etc etc that's part of politics. And then there is flat out lying. And that is exactly what she did.
