This from the David Byrne Journal:

"Last night was the Biden/Palin debate. I listened in, but only a bit. Palin tries to throw out key phrases and push the buttons the voters want to hear (lower taxes, less government, economic security) while Biden gives hard evidence. Her platitudes are mostly lies, as is the Republican style. They often rightly assume that no one will actually check or call them on their bull****. Sadly, their technique of lying till people think it’s true often works — a pathetic reflection of the American voter. I sort of wish the Democrats would take off the kid gloves and call these people on their bull****. I mean, the Republican policies and the Bush administration facilitated the credit-banking mess, the attendant economic decline, oil-friendly energy policies, the huge debt the US is saddled with, and the expenditure of billions a week on an endless illegal war. The McCain camp has appropriated the Obama “change” mantra, but their behavior says more of the same."
