Factcheck.org and politifact.com?

EDIT: The article about "sliming Palin" was from chain e-mails, not the Democrats. It does not refute any of the claims about her flip-flopping on the Bridge to Nowhere. I encourage you to read other articles about both campaigns on the sites. These are directed at McCain’s dishonorable lies.

Palin slips on energy: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/energetically_wrong.html
Palin trips on speech: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/gop_convention_spin_part_ii.html

Do not use your ridiculous Muslim claims to refute these.
JW – Your backward thinking is not consistent with the Democratic Party. Palin SUPPORTED the Bridge while she was campaigning for governor, and it was a major issue then.
Steadway – She only rejected it after Congress threatened to cut off funding. She waited until the very end to flop on the national issue. Now, what about the earmarks she devoured for the most insignificant pursuits?

"The article about "sliming Palin" was from chain e-mails, not the Democrats."

Is that supposed to mean democrats don’t know how to start & spread chain emails?

Now I do think it is fair to say one shouldn’t blame ALL democrats for the smears SOME choose to spread.

Just like Dems shouldn’t blame ALL republcians for the lies SOME spread about Obama. In fact, ifyou check my record, I have discounted the more outrageous lies agaisnt BOTH parties.

Even when they are targetting the candidate I am against. In that case I view them as a distraction from REAL criticisms.

    You are shooting at little wolves from a plane! They do not care about facts.

    Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager has said more than once that "this election will not be decided on the issues".

    Do not expect these undereducated kids to disagree.

    edit: factcheck.org is always on my toolbar…it is a good resource for Republicans who want to use FACTS to oppose Obama’s exaggerations as well…

    They only believe what they are told not what they research themselves. its like trying to yell at a deft dog, it just wont work. the sad part is that now, The people of the united states have unlimited access to the internet, McCain shouldn’t be able to get away with his lies because we can just click and check but it seems that allot of people rather follow a crowd than think for themselves. sad isn’t it?

    Sorry, but what the hell does she have to do with it? She didn’t request it, it was introduced by Senator Stevens an voted on by the senate, Both Obama and Biden voted for it. Palin never had authority to vote for or request anything to do with that bridge.

    So, I suggest you build a bridge and get over it. This issue is dead and its making you guys look freaking stupid everytime you try an spin it to make her look bad.

    As a Democrat that’s voting for McCain I find that you young Democrats do not represent the Democrat party that I have been a part of for the last 30+ years. I find the bullshite attacks to be disgusting and I honestly hope you people get the hell out of my party and go somewhere else.

    You people are so desperate you end up looking like fools. It doesn’t matter if she "Initially" supported it, in the end the bridge was rejected.

    However, Obama and Biden supported the funding. McCain however never supported the funding.

    So Obama still fails and McCain still win.
