    I cited an example and gave a link of absolute proof that he is wrong.

    Your list did not have links. I gave a link in direct refutation of one of your points, and so far you have not apologized for your false statement.

    And he won't.

    Instead he'll try to make his lies stand up. Just watch.

    I've seen his act before.

    Which was attached part of a bill to allow sex education starting with Kindergarden

    This is true

    Not true. She was on board with it and then she saw it for what it was and in the end was against it.

    I have not heard of this one but it is a rather silly attempt to stack falsehoods.

    Correct

    Source please

    This is misleading. The wet value was a small increase on oil companies. But there were incentives for renewable energy in the bill.

    I have news for you. They all are saying this including T.Boon Pickens, Obama, and Hillary

    Source Plese

    This may be true

    The only fact I need to know is that McCain and Palin are liars. Liars and also Flip/Floppers. If you vote for them that's your choice. But if they win then you decerve what you get. Maybe you voted for Bush in 04, look what's happening in our country today. Do you want more of the same or worse?

    You will find that the Obama camp is as big a liar as anyone here:

    Unfortunately that looks like our two options, more of the same (McCain), or worse (Obama). I am hoping for better with Palin on the ticket but it might take 4 more years before we see any real change.

    McCain gave her duties as VP. She will be over energy and special needs children. Now sure how much she'll do for you and for that matter, do we need a VP over special needs children? I mean you allot money to the researchers and????

    I wonder if stem cell research will get involved.

    Nope folks you are restricting yourself and staying in the same ol rut if you believe this.
    If you are a one issue voter then consider this:
    Bob Barr
    Voted YES on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad.
    Vote to adopt an amendment that would remove language reversing President Bush's restrictions on funding to family planning groups that provide abortion services, counseling or advocacy.

    Voted YES on federal crime to harm fetus while committing other crimes.
    Vote to pass a bill that would make it a federal crime to harm a fetus while committing any of 68 federal offenses or a crime under military law. Abortion doctors and women whose own actions harmed their fetuses would be exempt.

    Voted YES on banning partial-birth abortions.
    HR 3660 would ban doctors from performing the abortion procedure called "dilation and extraction" [also known as “partial-birth” abortion]. The measure would allow the procedure only if the life of the woman is at risk.

    Voted YES on barring transporting minors to get an abortion.
    The Child Custody Protection Act makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion.


    Arguing the case of who is better Obama or McCain is hopless.

    Crabtownboy,

    I can't help but notice you have not come back to address your inaccuracies and to set them right. When can we expect you to take responsibility for the falsehoods that you perpetrated? If you expect such out of McCain, do you really expect less out of yourself?

    They were not my comments. They were posts from articles. Perhaps you should write the editor of the publications I posted them from. Cheers.

    Crabtownboy, perhaps you should reread your posts.

    You have provided no links or citations for any of your cut and paste in this thread.

    You said "I can give you links".

    And you said "I gave you links".

    But you did not.

    Or I could just stay home and not vote Rocko, that would give the same result right?

    If you want to argue that Obama and McCain are both stinking liberals who will continue our country's slide into socialism I agree with you 100%. If you compare them to a real standard they are both so far left it truly scares me for future generations of Americans.

    BUT, if you want to compare them to one another, like you have in your previous quote. How can you possibly say neither is better? Yes, McCain is so far left is scares me, but he is so far right of Obama I would be a fool not to vote for him.

    IMHO, both candidates will hurt our country. 4 years from now we we have less liberty, less freedom, less money, and less control over our own destinies. BUT, McCain will hurt this country less than Obama will. That and the fact that Sarah Palin shows the potential to be a politician that actually will do some good for the country is why I am voting McCain-Palin.

    Crabtownboy, why are you trying to make us do all the work to prove your statements for you?

    Please identify which link is supposed to prove which fact from your list and then cite the relevant paragraphs from your linked sources.

    You ask for links, you got links. Now you can do some reading on your own now that I have shown you where the information is. Do you want some more links? There are more.

    So you admit to thievery by taking someone else's material and posting it as your own? That's perhaps worse than the falsehoods you were telling. You could legitimately be expected to be uninformed, and then having been shown the truth to say, "Oops I was wrong. My bad." You have no excuse for thievery. It is the standard practice in any type of literary endeavor to cite your sources if you use them. To do otherwise is intellectual stealing, known as plagiarism. You should not have done it.
