Why does Palin keep repeating the lies?
It is the most peculiar thing, maybe she hopes that if she sticks to these lies no one will notice the rest of her failures?

It is very hard to understand.


Also, with all the shit swirling around her about her family, she is still giddy. Normally, family matters take a toll on a candidate, how does it NOT bother her?

3. That is the only lines they have rehearsed
They would have to take her off the trail for a few days to teach her new ones. Johnny can't afford that.

4. She has nothing else. She hasn't been in office for even two years--
there's just nothing else for her to wow the crowd with. Her record as mayor included leaving the town in debt--can't really go there.

6. It is part of Karl Rove's playbook....
if you repeat a lie enough times people will believe it as fact...worked in 2000 and 2004.

9. Lies are all McPalin has.
Talking about the issues is a loser for them. They've got nothin' but the lies and distractions.

11. The entire current lineup of the American Fascist Party (formerly GOP) seem to be Goebbels students
They start lies everyday, then repeat them endlessly, with the help of the corporate media, and brownshirt trolls, who not only post on their own sites, but also on YouTube where ever any political videos pop up, and on Democratic boards like this one, as long as they can get away with it.

Somewhere down in Hell, Hitler and the boys are smiling...
