Sarah Palin, the Mainstream Media Filter, and the Growing Culture of Casual Lies

The 24-hour media circus has made it impossible to trust TV news, the New York Times, and most other "big time" newspapers. The computer has made it possible for all of us to travel from paper to paper to check information. The false info scares me.

The Obama love fest scares me. Our country is in trouble financially, spiritually and emotionally. And voting on a candidate because he makes us feel good isn't going to address the issues. In a Socialist Government where people reacted on emotion lead to a leader who corrupted others and with favors. Hitler used propoganda to win over even young children. He used military to silence the people who questioned his actions. Obama wants change, and so do we all. But above all we need leaders who want change honestly and without silencing the people.

Obama not only lies, his handlers lie, but the media is lying for him!!! They change stories and regurgitate whatever his handlers tell them (especially NBC). They also lie by omission. They look the other way about Nobama's past. They look the other way about his getting more than $50K a year from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they look the other way about who helped him get that mansion of his, they look the other way about him distributing on behalf of Bill Ayers over $50 million, they look the other way about his doing nothing concerning the current economic crisis (call me if you need me), they look the other way when it comes to his being wrong about the troop surge, they look the other way about the fact that he doesn't support our troops, they look the other way when he espouses his socialism.

I am totally appauled at the immature non-christian way Palin is conducting herself. This makes McCain look like someone who cannot do his job so he has to get another to do the smearing and dirty work for him. Is this an American hero? I think not. What a terrible example she sets for her children - God help them. Is this you learned in their churches? What kind of people are you Palin and McCain who enjoy feeding on this type of low behavior?
I am sorry but there is no way I could ever vote for people that are supposed to be respectable adults who have the nerve to cheat, lie and be as dirty as they can be to win and fill their pockets again.
This is the tackiest, lowest joke for an election - I hope my children and grandchildren never see this pittiful crap again.
Not so proud now to be an American - you disappoint many throughout the world.
