Today, distressed by recent poll results, I went to the Obama office and volunteered. I don’t get it. I fail to see how adding a former beauty queen to the ticket has pummeled McCain up in the polls. I fail to see how women can support McCain, whose treatment of women has always been less than stellar. Check out these stories:

Don’t people research the truth before making electoral choices? Don’t they see the lies? For example, Palin claims to have stopped the “Bridge to Nowhere.” Yet, she originally supported it, then later opposed it. But, by the time she became governor, the government she criticizes so had stopped the bridge from being funded. She had nothing to do with it. Proof:
McCain looks people in the eye and says that Obama’s tax increases will hurt all of us. Well, not me, honey. I am not in the top 1% of taxpayers. Only the top 1% will be hurt. Under Obama’s plan, the rest of us will get back about $1,000, whereas under McCain’s plan the rich dudes will get back lots of money and the rest of us will only get back $350. He lies eyeball to eyeball, and people believe it.
We all need to work harder to expose the McCain/Palin lies.

An amazing blog, I found. Please share.
Senator John McCain has been portrayed as a war hero, a POW, and a man of character. This portrait of John McCain is as artificial as a plaster manikin. Here is an account of the REAL John McCain that appeared in a British newspaper but been suppressed by the American media:
It was in 1969 that Carol went to spend the Christmas holiday – her third without McCain – at her parents’ home. After dinner, she left to drop off some presents at a friend’s house.
It wasn’t until some hours later that she was discovered, alone and in terrible pain, next to the wreckage of her car. She had been hurled through the windscreen.
After her first series of life-saving operations, Carol was told she may never walk again, but when doctors said they would try to get word to McCain about her injuries, she refused, insisting: ‘He’s got enough problems, I don’t want to tell him.’
H. Ross Perot, a billionaire Texas businessman, future presidential candidate and advocate of prisoners of war, paid for her medical care.
Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam and is now a leading campaigner for veterans’ rights, said: ‘I have been following John McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is – deceit.
Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics.
‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said. ‘After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.’
