I think they're lying. And I think they know it.

Not only that, I've heard a hoard of them (all with the same letter after their name) scream that taxes are too high. Indeed there is a movement by citizens to drive taxes even lower and thus bankrupt our country.

The Rs have an issue that they can run on 'til the cows come home, just like abortion, and the Ds are too chickenshit to risk losing the votes of people who don't vote for them anyway.

Okay, the rank and file at the Teabagger Convention probably don't know. They just don't like taxes. But the folks organizing these things do know. And they're lying. Telling people what they want to hear in exchange for votes, even though they know it is running the country into the ground.

Just my thoughts.

In that lost 8 minutes of mine which you were wise enough not to watch a lady waiting at Palin's book signing said that Palin would "Clean up the spending, stop the spending."

When asked what were some examples of spending she'd like to see stopped, she said, "All of it. All of it."

Brilliant.
