Fresh Hot Lies: McCain & Palin's Pipeline to Doom by dengre Sun Sep 28, 2008 at 02:12:48 PM PDT

Listen as John McCain lies about Sarah Palin:

Almost every word the McCain/Palin campaign has uttered about Palin's Pipeline has been an exaggeration, a stretch, a fib, a misstatement""you know: A LIE.

The myth of Sarah Palin is that she is some kind of Energy Expert because:

Back at the end of the last century, the issue of sweatshops was getting a lot of mainstream attention. By 1999 corporations were reeling from consumer pressure and it was looking like Congress was going to take some action. At that time, Dennis (more...)
