Libby's Blog, Revisited.

Libby's blog had a few interesting points I wanted to bring back up, especially since people are still pining for the ridiculous, sexist, crazy-psycho-christian who want's America to be run by the Bible.

The thought gives me nightmares.


FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE:
Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States."

THE FACTS:
A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.






FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY:
"We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin."

THE FACTS:
A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.Why or why will no one check sources! Politicians in general should be careful what they say, as lying only makes them look untrustworthy and mean. In this case, they look desperate and stupid; which could have been easily avoided.One comment about the taxes - the reason Republicans don't like it is that a lot of them (in politics) are wealthy. They would get a tax increase in order to provide relief to the middle class. This is exactly what we need; less coddling and special interests to the rich. This economy is flat out disgusting, and we all need some help before every family who makes under $100,000 a year goes bankrupt.
