Sarah Palin, John McCain and Stephen Harper: What These Three Have in Common

All three mislead. McCain has too many senior moments. His positions change hour-by-hour and day-by-day. A good example is his position on the economy. On the same day, in the morning he said the fundamentals of the economy are strong, then it was in dire straights and he suspended his campaign and later he said it had all the symptoms of a Great Depression.

Sarah Palin out-right denies Troopergate and said she never asked for commissioner Monegan to fire her brother-in-law Mike Wooten. Now a bipartisan committee of the Alaska Legislature finds it differently. She also said that she was opposed to the Bridge to Nowhere and then it turns out that she was for it all along until Congress cut the funding and she was against it.

Harper misled on many issues but most obvious recently is the Cadman Affair. He repeatedly said that the tapes which reveal Harper saying that Mr Cadman was offered compensation for his vote were tampered with. Now experts appointed by him reveal that no such tampering took place.

Sarah Palin and Richard Nixon

What do these two have in common you may ask? Richard Nixon, when in office, had an enemy list and so does Sarah Palin. When she became Mayor of Wasilla, she had that list and some were fired from City Hall. When she was elected Governor of Alaska, there was another enemy list and this time her former brother-in-law, Mike Wooten an ex of her sister, was on the list. Media reports are that she put pressure on the Chair of the Public Safety Commission, Walt Monegan, to fire Wooten and when he refused to fire, he got shafted and was fired himself.

She is not much of a pit bull but more of an Octopus with tentacles looking for prey, in this case her enemies. It looks her stories about Troopergate, the Bridge to Nowhere and cutting taxes are not matching up with realities. Troopergate is still under investigation, the Bridge to Nowhere she supported and only opposed it when she had no choice, as mayor she cut property taxes but then imposed sales taxes, and on and on it goes.

Sarah Palin's Bridge to Nowhere

Is it possible that Sarah Palin's bridge to nowhere may become rough waters for the McCain-Palin ticket? They will have to navigate this one carefully - especially Palin lying about it, saying that she was against it repeatedly in her stump speech when, initially, she was all for it (that is until it became politically inconvenient to be for it). A pig is pig no matter how much lipstick you put on it – in this case Palin's abuse of the truth. Barack Obama is too nice to say "lipstick" "Palin" and "pig" in the same sentence, so I will say it for him.

Apparently swiftboating against Obama has begun with McCainiacs blaming him for sexist remarks when Obama said lipstick and pig referred to McCain's stand on policies (something which Senator Hillary Clinton and other prominent women in the Democratic Party confirmed).

Guess who started swiftboating on McCain's behalf – none other than Ms. Swift, former acting Gov. of Massachusetts and now working for McCain's campaign. How appropriate that Ms. Swift was chosen to lead this attack – not so swift Ms. Swift. However, there has been major backlash in the media as McSame himself has used Pig and Lipstick in the past in relation to the healthcare policy of Senator Clinton.

Sarah Palin and Pork Barrelling

What is the difference between Sarah Palin (Hockey Mom) and Pork? Lipstick and a good pair of eyeglasses.

Sarah Palin claims to be new kind of politician, anti-establishment... now the reality. When she was mayor of Wasilla, she accepted millions of dollars in earmarks and pork barrel projects. When she ran for Governor of Alaska, she was all for the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. After she became Governor and the bridge project became very controversial, she was against it. Again she accepted millions of dollars in pork barrel projects. As Mayor, she also hired a lobbyist to get the optimum amount of pork barrel projects.

More recently, revelations are that she, her husband, and children travelled extensively on public expense during her short span of governorship and also accepted per diem expenses when she went nowhere according to MSNBC.

There goes more extensive pork barrelling.

Also, you heard that she fired her cook. It turns out she never did. The cook is cooking as usual at Governor’s office establishment. On and on it goes.

We cannot attribute her forgetfulness to age and senior moments. It looks she has been lying all along. Most politicians do exaggerate or bend facts, but to outright lie like Sarah Palin has, what's next?
