Do you ever get the feeling that Tea Party Republicans see the phrase “Ignorance Is Bliss” as a Mission Statement?

CALLED OUT FOR HALF TRUTHS AND GUTTER POLITICS

AS I SAID BEFORE; YOU CHRISTIANS THAT ARE ACTING AS THOUGH GOD IS OK WITH HAVE TRUTHS AND CONVENIENT LIES ARE GOING DOWN WITH YOUR WEAPON OF CHOICE. (JOHN MCSHAME AND SARAH PALIN) PALIN BELITTLED THE WORKS OF BARACK OBAMA AS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. "JESUS WAS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND PILOT WAS A GOVERNOR!" THINK ABOUT THAT IN YOUR QUEST TO "FOLLOW THE LORD" BY SUPPORTING THE DIRTY TACTICS AND LIES OF MCSHAME AND PALIN!-MEM

The Washington Post has an article today on the repeated lies and lack of accountability in the presidential race:
From the moment Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin declared that she had opposed the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," critics, the news media and nonpartisan fact checkers have called it a fabrication or, at best, a half-truth. But yesterday in Lebanon, Ohio, and again in Lancaster, Pa., she crossed that bridge again.

"I told Congress: 'Thanks but no thanks for that Bridge to Nowhere up in Alaska,' " Palin told the crowds at the "McCain Street USA" rallies. "If we wanted a bridge, we'll build it ourselves."

The New York Times looks into how Obama's lipstick line was taken out of context:

A new character is making a debut at Senator Barack Obama's campaign rallies: His name is John McCain.

It began quietly on Monday in Michigan, but grew in volume as Mr. Obama made his way from Flint to Farmington Hills, carrying over to a speech on Tuesday morning in Ohio. By the time he arrived for an evening stop in the southwestern tip of Virginia, Mr. Obama's sales pitch contained nearly as many references to Senator McCain as to himself, suggesting how the McCain campaign has been driving the recent dialogue of the presidential race.

"John McCain says he's about change, too -- except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics," Mr. Obama told his supporters here. "That's just calling the same thing something different."

With a laugh, he added: "You can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change; it's still going to stink after eight years."

In the latest sign of the campaign's heightened intensity, Mr. McCain's surrogates responded within minutes and called on Mr. Obama to apologize to Gov. Sarah Palin for the lipstick remark. But to those in the audience, it was clear that Mr. Obama was employing an age-old phrase -- lipstick on a pig -- and referring to Mr. McCain's policies. He had not yet mentioned Ms. Palin at that point of his speech.

Here's a list of more news sources that are calling foul on McCain's campaign tactics:

The New Republic...
Mark Halperin... EJ Dionne... McClatchy Papers... Joe Klein... CBS... ABC's Jake Tapper... Andrew Sullivan... MSNBC...
Paul Begala...
AP... David Corn... Atlanta Journal Constitution... Glenn Grenwald... Taylor Marsh... Chicago Tribune... Slate...

Note* Andrew Halcro.com from Alaska Troopergate: "the situation is now grave"....

A Wall Street Journal article today sheds light on advice Governor Palin received back in July about the Monegan firing. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122109403841221751.html?mod=hpp_us_whats_news
