I looked through factcheck and it seems VERY partial to McCain.

In our highly divided society, it is critical to listen to both sides in order to triangulate on the truth.

When I first saw her, I was wondering what the heck was Karen from "Will and Grace" doing at the RNC.

Depends on which oligarchy you're living in, I guess.

If you can explain to me why she was asking the librarian what would happen if she was asked to remove certain books, I could feel a lot better about it
That's what I would ask a librarian, if I were in charge. If she told me to fuck off I'd hire her.

And it appears that's what Palin did.

Well if all it takes for you to hire someone is to have them tell you to fuck off, we'd all be hired!! lol!!!

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I'm not a Palin fan, but I am honestly not Palin-bashing when I admit to being completely baffled by what I understand of the loyalty test. What I get so far is she asked a number of people to resign - to test their loyalty - then hired them again.

If that is the case - and I accept I may have the wrong end of the stick - in this country it would be considered mondo weird. I have no idea what my reply would be if my boss asked me to do that, but I'm oretty sure I know what my nearest and dearest would advise me - don't you dare, and start looking for another job in the meantime!

I agree, SG.

On CBS news they did a reality check on how she says (over and over and over) that she said to Congress "Thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere. Actually, she asked for the earmark, received some funding, and when the feds backed out she kept the money for other transportation needs. Story here.

McCain has a clean bill when it comes to earmarks: he has been honest in that he did not ask for earmarks. Palin is just telling a story. That can't be good for the McCain campaign, if everyone is interested in truthiness as they claim to be.
