This site has been keeping track of the McCain campaign lies that they have been leaving behind including those by his running mate Sarah Palin. She is already racking up a record and shes only been on the scene now for a few weeks.

"Palin claims Alaska "produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy." That's not true. Alaska did produce 14 percent of all the oil from U.S. wells last year, but that's a far cry from all the "energy" produced in the U.S. Alaska's share of domestic energy production was 3.5 percent, according to the official figures kept by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. And if by "supply" Palin meant all the energy consumed in the U.S., and not just produced here, then Alaska's production accounted for only 2.4 percent." For someone claiming to have some expertise if she has any at all, she better start showing an understanding of the numbers and what is true and untrue. She is no better than Dick Cheney and the crap he has spewed over the years.

Heres another of my favorites:

"Annenberg Political Fact Check: In Repeating Their "Misleading" And "Inflated 94-Vote Figure," The McCain Campaign "Falsely Impl[ies] That Obama Has Pushed Indiscriminately To Raise Taxes For Nearly Everybody." "Republicans claim Obama 'voted 94 times for higher taxes.' But their count is inflated and misleading. ... [B]y repeating their inflated 94-vote figure, the McCain campaign and the GOP falsely imply that Obama has pushed indiscriminately to raise taxes for nearly everybody. A closer look reveals that he's voted consistently to restore higher tax rates on upper-income taxpayers but not on middle- or low-income workers. That's consistent with what he's said he'd do as president, which is to raise taxes only on those making more than $250,000 a year." [FactCheck.org, 7/3/08]" I heard it again today on CNN, some republican analyst again trying to state that Obama wanted to RAISE taxes on middle income and low wage earners. It is simply untrue. Obama wants to raise taxes on those making $250,000 a year or more which if you look back, Clinton had higher tax rates on that population of earners and the economy was running on all cylinders. Get the fact straight before you spew junk out of your mouth Mr. McCain.

This is just a taste of some of the lies you can find on there and be sure, there are plenty on the McCain side. Enough to cover just about every issue this man and Miss Piggy are running on.
