According to Factcheck.org, a non-partisan project of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, the McCain campaign is skewing the true, to say the least, about Obama voting to raise taxes.

The full details can be found here, but this is the most telling quote to me:

Annenberg says a close look at the record reveals that Obama has “voted consistently to restore higher tax rates on upper-income taxpayers but not on middle- or low-income workers.”

In other words, sure, Obama supports raising the taxes on corporations and those people making more than 1 million dollars a year, but everyone else gets a tax cut. I don’t know about you, but I’m not close to making a million a year (unlike McCain)!

A friend pointed me to an article in the Huffington Post today that included a video clip with her closest friends discussing politics. 3 out of 4 of them refused to say who they were voting for. Also, they revealed Sarah Palin hates cats. Damning evidence if I ever heard it. Also included at the end of the clip is a bit where Palin says the war in Iraq was “from God”. Thanks for the news flash, I thought it was from some guy we didn’t elect with a daddy complex.

I’m sure Democrats have done similar, but the double standards and hypocrisy shown by Karl Rove, Bill O’Reilly and the rest of the conservative pundits in this clip is astounding. No one could have such a rapid change of heart if they honestly believed the words they were uttering…
