More of the same isn't being bought by the American public anymore. We are seeing only 10-15% of the public these days are willing to swallow lies. The American people might be using their brains........

Polifact Debunks Obama-Ayers Connection
The McCain campaign and the RNC are still using ads (e.g., like this one that link Obama and 1960s radical William Ayers. Now Polifact has examined the ads closely and concluded that the claim that Obama and Ayers ran a radical education foundation together is a "pants-on-fire" lie. While it is true that Obama was the nominal head of the foundation in question, Ayers never had a paid position on the foundation's staff, never was on the board, and never had a vote on anything. His connection to Obama was attending some board meetings that were open to the public, and this 20 years after his radical days, by which time he had reformed enough to get a Ph.D. in education from Columbia University and was able to win Chicago's "Citizen of the Year" award in 1997 for his work for nonprofit organizations. In short, while Ayers was a despicable person in his youth, the McCain campaign's relentless harping on the close relationship between Obama and Ayers is very misleading. They weren't close at all.

The Man Behind the "Obama Is a Muslim" Campaign Is Exposed"
E-mails have been circulating this year saying that Obama is a Muslim or is not a U.S. citizen, and similar things that are not true. Polls show that 10-15% of the population believe them. Ever wonder how these things get started? They are not seeded by spores from meteorites that landed on the earth 50 million years ago. They are very intentional, carefully crafted campaigns and one of the people responsible, Andy Martin, appeared on Fox News last week. The NY Times has a story on Martin. He has run for public office numerous times (once so he could "exterminate Jew power") and lost them all and has filed so many frivolous lawsuits that a federal judge once forbid him from filing any more without advance permission.

Opening Shot in the Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party
If John McCain wins the presidency, he will probably have enough power to force recalcitrant Republicans to grudgingly follow him on most issues. However, House Republicans are already beginning to at least consider how they would regroup under an Obama presidency. About 110 of the 199 are members of the Republican Study Committee, which thinks the party should get back to its conservative roots. Although many of them held their noses and voted for the Patriot Act and No Child Left Behind, in principle they oppose these laws, both of which vastly expanded the role of the federal government. Most of them voted against the Wall St. bailout act until so much pork was thrown in that they smelled the bacon and couldn't resist. The bailout bill might later prove to be the opening shot in the war for the soul of the Republican Party.

See, we all need to do some soul searching and probably apologize to the world for screwing it up for the last 8 years.
