The latest on politics is really pissing me off.

Why are the Republicans being allowed to so blatantly misrepresent and outright lie?

This is just a summary, and I'll follow it up.

Sarah Palin does not have a history of lowering taxes, opposing pork barrel spending, or being a fiscal conservative.

John McCain is not a maverick. He rarely deviates from his party, and on the rare occasions he does, it' not usually in favor of most Americans.

Raising taxes on businesses won't cause people to get laid off. (If a business were to lay off employees in an effort to raise their profits, they would end up disproportionately raising their tax burden, and lost productivity would probably cost them even more in the end; only an idiot would try such a stunt.)

Ok, those are my major points of contention for the moment.

Oh yeah, one more thing:

The capital of the US is Washington. I've never heard of "Warshington" except from John McCain.

Power generated from mass defect is nuclear. "Nucular" is an inside joke in the Nuke community to make fun of people who don't understand new-clear power.
