McCain's Voicemail to Palin Leaked to Press (Listen) - 236 - The Room
After I saw that site and all its bashing of Sarah Palin I thought maybe a fact check on this stuff going around on the net.

Well, in Sandra's defense, she's only a Senator of Arkansas - how is she going to affect drastic change in Alaska?

Re: Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate

There's a lot of ignorance and misinformation about all the candidates. We're all guilty of it to some extent. It's been that way for decades. That said...a little levity and humor never hurts. In the words of 70Chip..."all work and no play makes me...Al Gore" or something like that.

That Palin voicemail was hilarious, no matter what side of the fence you're on. Sure, there's a danger that some people will actually take this as fact. One the other hand, satire is one of the great things about this country. I don't think you can do that with political leaders in a lot of places.

You will only find "spin-free" info if you want to.

I was a little surprised that anybody would take anything seriously from a site called "23/6 - Some of the News, Most of the Time". That's like fact checking The Onion.

I would have to say James Buchanan is the worst president in history, since he basically lead us into the civil war, but Bush is for sure second.

I know crap like this is the name of the game in politics, but it just gets so frustrating to hear them constantly talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Yeah, her nose isn't clean when it comes to earmarks. But, there are very few Govs and Senators who don't have their hand in the cookie jar. The most prominent earmark/pork barrel advocate is Robert Byrd (a senior Dem in the Senate), who openly says it's the job of congressmen and governors to secure money for their states.
