Do we expect McCain to ever tell the truth? I think not. He will stretch, revise and lie if that is what it takes to make him President. Truth be damned!

If he's schizophrenic, would he then be lying?

Thankfully the media is reporting on McCain's lies and Palin's, too. However the word "lie" rarely used by the press is no longer the exception.

Practically every day, at the very least, the media catches McCain and/or Palin in at least one lie, but that does not stop either from repeating the lies ad naseum. Apparently they do not care about losing credibility and the public's confidence. But once gone it is next to if not impossible to regain either one back.

If we cannot trust what McCain and Palin say, now, what leads anyone to believe either one will start telling the truth (god forbid if elected) once in office?

For eight years we have been fed lie after lie after lie. We deserve better.

If we want change the only way to make that happen is for voters to reject McCain and Palin.

Otherwise rewarding them makes us absolute ignorant fools.
