I understood fine. Though you tell me in breathless tones that a politician stood up during a convention speech and lied, I am unmoved by this earth shattering revelation.

As for Biden, I don’t really care to be honest, one way or the other…if he knew it was a boondoggle and voted for it anyway, or if he voted and didn’t really read the fine print…well, it’s all the same to me either way.

I’m just trying to argue the point that the criticism against Palin is not her _per se_ support of the BTN, but that she has been _dishonest_ about it.

Sure, I buy that she is dishonest…she is a politician after all. I ASSUME she is dishonest.

Wow. I knew the Republicans were desperate, but until I read this thread I never knew how desperate. No wonder McCain wants to have the debate cancelled.
