rssMcCain Lies, Says Resurgent Obama Camp

Today the Obama campaign accused Sen. John McCain of repeatedly lying about his running mate’s record.
Rebutting a new Republican ad — which TWI’s Matt DeLong reports here — chief Obama spokesperson Bill Burton blasted McCain for lying about an earmark issue after multiple corrections from the press:
Despite being discredited over and over again by numerous news organizations, the McCain campaign continues to repeat the lie that Sarah Palin stopped the Bridge to Nowhere.
That’s unusually strong for the Obama campaign — which regularly describes McCain’s questionable remarks as “dishonest” or “spin.”
Even this press release, for example, was still titled “Response to New and Dishonest McCain Ad,” rather than, say, “McCain is Lying Again.” I emailed Burton to ask whether this is the first time he has directly accused the McCain campaign of lying, and will report back with any response.

How about calling McCain's constant repetition that Obama “will raise your taxes” a lie? About the Dem's being in favor of “big government” (vis a vis Bush) a lie? I hope they find it easier, now that they've broken the ice…

How about the truth … check out CAGW.org. The Pokers Track Records for 2008: Obama = 53 Pork Projects/97.4 Million; Biden = 70 Pork Projects/119.7 Million; Reid = 160 Pork Projects/$259.5 Million; Clinton = 281 Pork Projects/296.2 Million; and McCain = 0 Pork Projects/$0. Check it out … it makes for fascinating reading.
