Um, are you for reals? McCain/Palin got onstage and blatantly lied about Obama's policies and the republican base swallowed it whole. Apparently, the public will fall for anything and half the country will vote for someone who doesn't even have enough confidence in their base to assume that they are educated about both sides. Which sadly, they apparently aren't.

Um not sure what you are getting at here; I was saying the media will "discover" some bit of shocking news right before the election(just like they have in at least the past two elections) and you ask if I am for real

What's McCain/Palin lying(not that I am conceding that) on stage at the convention got to do with what I said

I'll bold the part I'm in disbelief at.

Do you deny that they lied? It's not hard to find the transcripts.

Anybody can answer this that wants to but I am specifically directing my question to scaeagles since he has in the past mentioned that a big source of his problems with McCain was his immigration stance and that he doesn't particularly trust his "saw the light" conversion in the primaries.

What are your thoughts on this ad? It is a Spanish language ad* criticizing Barack Obama for not supporting his comprehensive immigration reform bill. The one that almost tanked him early in the Republican primaries and the one that he has since (in English anyway) renounced. Does this call into question the bump you got from Palin's selection (since you have stated that the selection helped you feel his position changes might be sincere)?




* The ad is in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. So I have relied on others to convey the content of the ad. I have checked a few sources and the -- generally pro-McCain -- comments on the video and they are all pretty consistent. However, if it turns out I was misinformed I'll readily admit it.
