Anyone planning to read the Sarah Palin book should bookmark these sites. Both the A.P. and Media Matters have printed lists of the inaccuracies and falsehoods in Going Rogue: An American Life. Media Matters is maintaining theirs as an ongoing work in progress, since drilling down through Sarah’s muddled speech and thought is, in the words of the former defense secretary, a long, hard slog.
In addition to the well-publicized and seemingly false slams at the John McCain team, Palin can’t keep the facts straight concerning her travel (and the bills involved), cap and trade legislation, whether Obama wanted to kill fetuses that survived botched abortions, her support of hunting wolves by shooting them from helicopters and small planes, the disconnect between Palin’s opinion of stimulus funds and Alaska’s dependence on federal subsidies, and so much more.
Of course, most people who read the book will accept Sarah’s version of the events without question, no matter how much evidence is provided to the contrary.
State Attorney General Beau Biden, the vice president’s son, has pulled ahead in the 2010 Delaware U.S. Senate campaign. U.S. Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.), whose votes have taken a partisan turn, is going down in flames. A new poll shows Biden leading Castle by 5 points, after trailing him by 21 points last April. What’s changed?
According to the pollster, the shift “may be a result of negative publicity [Castle] received in the state after casting a ‘no’ vote for President Obama’s health care reform bill in the U.S. Congress.” Castle, who has thrived as a moderate Republican in an increasingly Democratic state, has been casting more partisan votes — against the stimulus package, for the Stupak amendment — that have been well-reported in Delaware.
Respondents were asked if the vote were held today, whether they would choose Biden, the Democrat, or Castle, the Republican. Forty-five percent took Biden compared to 40 percent who selected Castle. Another six percent wanted someone else, and 8 percent were undecided. In April, 2009, 34 percent picked Biden while 55 percent said Castle.
Pundits say that Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe was an overreach,
And they agree that if lies were a crime, he’d be impeached.
Despite all the dividend promises he’s made,
The fact is, not one has ever been paid,
So even before the midterms, he already owes us $8,000* each.
*$5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via a “tariff dividend”; $1000-plus checks via “savings” from expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies
