Fight McCain's Lies with Pinocchio Bingo
Last week, the McCain-Palin message was ugly: that Obama "pals around" with terrorists, implying Obama is therefore a terrorist himself. This incited ugly behavior by their supporters, who openly called Obama a "terrorist." Americans recoiled in horror, and Obama surged to a commanding 8% lead in the polls, which would produce an Electoral College landslide .
McCain read the polls, freaked out, and adopted an entirely new message: he's a "fighter." This one is true! McCain has devoted his political career to fighting against everything we care about: peace, justice, jobs, education, health care, the environment, civil rights, voting rights, and honest government.
Well, we're fighters too. And as swing voters make their final decisions, we must fight to make sure they are not fooled by the new McCain-Palin message, and instead understand McCain and Palin are simply bald-faced liars. Our best weapon is humor, so watch this funny video from our friends at Agit-Pop . Here are their latest lies:
LIE: The "Troopergate" report cleared Sarah Palin of wrongdoing . TRUTH: The report found Palin " abused her power by violating ... the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act " and could be punished when the Alaska legislature meets. (The Washington Post Fact-Checker gave Palin 4 Pinocchio's .)
LIE: ACORN is committing massive "voter fraud" for Obama . TRUTH: ACORN registered 1.3 million new voters, but a tiny number of forms were invalid . ACORN flagged those invalid forms and urged authorities to prosecute ACORN employees who submitted them. ( Democrats.com will pay $100 for every "Mickey Mouse" who actually votes .)
LIE: Obama "pals around with terrorists" and lied about working with Bill Ayers . TRUTH: Obama was 8 when Bill Ayers planted bombs to protest Vietnam, and simply volunteers for the same Republican-led education charity. (Meanwhile McCain knowingly associates with terrorists, extremists, and criminals of all kinds .)
The final debate is Wednesday night, so download your own "McLiar Bingo" boards to have fun keeping track of McCain's lies while you watch with your friends.
Second, let's form " Pinocchio Posses " wherever McCain and Palin campaign. We'll wear home-made " Pinocchio noses " and hand out home-printed " McLiar Bingo " flyers with the lies and the truth. Keep checking our upcoming event list:

McCain/ Palin "Team"
When following this election, one cannot help but wonder why people in general choose to ignore the facts - and continue to be stubborn to the point of stupidity, by supporting a team just because of their party loyalty. As the United States is in serious economic and social jeopardy, the concern should be focused on who will be the best choose for the future of this country. McCain showed his character early on in life, when he was known as the "bully" in school". A bully is typically never a confident and strong individual, mentally or emotionally, but a nasty person, who has little or no respect for others, and who will use any measure to do as they please, irregardless of the effects and consequences the innocent has been subjected to. McCain has never changed his deep core intrinsic character! He has a track record of being a liar, a coward and "spin-doctor" DO AMERICANS WANT ANOTHER LIAR AS PRESIDENT? One should hope not, unfortunately most don't really care, and others let the propaganda manipulate them. MC Cain and Paelin have both been shown, by their own records and behaviors to be consistent liars and opinion shifters more often than the wind shifts! WAKE UP!! This country cannot afford to have another Bush era!! Instead of wasting the hard working American tax money on wars (not fought on our soil), potential new wars, and literally handing over multi billions of dollars to outsiders - we need a new philosophy in Washington, which should be about spending our tax dollars on America and for the benefit of Americans!! NO MORE bi-partisan, lobby endorsers, corporate protectors and back room dealing leaders, who are in office for the sole purpose of self interest and misuse of power to pad their own pockets and the pockets of their "buddies'.
I am frustrated by the stupidity of so many who say they want change, and yet have no interest in truly making change. The voters of this country have to set aside party loyalty, and be highly objective in this election, in order to truly get change for the better, which will ultimately help most Americans who have had a very trying and difficult time surviving financially day to day. McCain will never make any changes to improve the economic strife and unfair distribution of monies for the majority populous. McCain and Paelin will be too costly for the hard working majority populous of this country - and in the end will put us in an even more catastrophic socio-economic situation at home. This country is already bankrupt, end the frivolous waste of more than a Trillion dollars and put it back into the United States economy to help Americans citizens at home. " TAKE CARE OF OUR HOUSE FIRST", and if and when that has been accomplished, then perhaps we can be charitable abroad.
NO MORE LIAR LIARS FOR PRESDINT AND V.P.!!!
Mudslinging and Associations with Dangerous People.
Anyone who wants to whine about all of the mudslinging that is so common in political campaigns should take notice that the Republicans are by far more guilty of it than the Democrats. Considering the smear tactics of the McCain-Palin ticket Barack Obama has shown enormous restraint. He is obviously on the right track. That's why he continues to move up in the polls.
If a person's fitness for public office is to be questioned according to past or current associations with controversial figures, then,I say John McCain and Sarah Palin have some explaining to do. I think Senator Obama is wise in not attacking them for their ties to unsavory individuals, although I'm sure it must be tempting for him to do so.
I do however,think we as supporters of Senators Obama and Biden, should be making McCain and Palin's questionable associations a topic of discussion with undecided swing voters anytime talk of the election comes up. I also think perhaps that an issue should be made of McCain's covering up the fact that some of his plane crashes during his Navy career were due to pilot error.
