McCain’s appointment of a champion reformer nails Obama’s Big Lie
Dick Morris: “Her appointment DEMONSTRATES THE CRUCIAL FLAW IN THE DEMOCRATIC ATTACK ON MCCAIN: THE [FALSE] ACCUSATION THAT HE IS ANOTHER GEORGE W. BUSH. BUSH CHOSE CHENEY. MCCAIN CHOSE PALIN. THAT’S EMBLEMATIC OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.”
“She took on the corrupt establishment of the Republican hierarchy in Alaska and defeated incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski in a GOP primary…”
”..Palin uncovered Republican corruption in the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which she had been apointed to lead. She reported the violations of ethical regulations by her co-commissioner (who also happened to be the Republican Party state chariman). Barred by state law from going public with her charges, she quit and revealed her accusations. She was vindicated when her co-commissioner agreed to pay a $12,000 fine for breaking the state ethics law.”
”.. she took on the state attorney general over his corruption and forced him to resign. Finally, she challenged Gov. Murkowski himself in a primary and won 51% of the vote in a 3-way contest. Since then, whe has line-item-vetoed huge parts of the state-budget that she fount wasteful and has cleaned house from top to bottom.”
..
“The entire edifice Obama and Biden built in the Denver convention hinges on [the Obama Big Lie,] the supposed similarity between Bush and McCain. Every speaker hewed to his suggested talking points in calling a McCain presidency a third Bush term.”
“As proof [of his Big Lie] Obama cited the fact that McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. BUT MOST SENATE VOTES ARE UNANIMOUS! They praise high school sports teams or American heroes for their accomplishments or rename post offices or courthouses. It’s likely Obama and McCain voted together most of the time, too.”
“[McCain’s] opposition to torture…proposal of the surge..campaign finance reform..tobacco regulation..corporate governance reforms..end to earmarking..cuts in spending..legislation for energy independence..fight climate change” [show he is no clone of Bush]. [Obama lies.]
