Winning by lies.
Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Funny how the so called values party has no problem just making up a bunch of crap in an effort to win. The lies that have been manufactured about Sen. Obama are legion. Few with half a brain cell really believe them but repeat them anyway all for the sake of winning. Is slandering the good name of a good man a good thing? How can cheating to win be rationalized into an honorable thing?

Where is honor these days? Remember honor? It was something that good people used to have. Ask the Republicans who is the most honorable party, without a pause they will say "we are". But they have a bunch of candidates who are running on a pack of lies and half-truths. Where is their shame? Honor is doing the right thing even if it means that you lose. Remember fair play? Republicans have been simply counting on Democrats to play by the rules that they break everyday.

My advise to Republicans. Look up the words honor and responsibility in the dictionary. Try to care more about truth than winning. Try to take an honest look at the problems in your party rather than just looking for a scapegoat. And for those who still believe in God, When Jesus said "thou shalt love thy neighbor" it was a commandment not a suggestion. There is more to life than money and power. There is no honor in the pursuit of these goals for their own sakes. The politics of division have just about ruined us as a people, find something else to run on.

2. The entire McBush campaign is all about lies
In their 'family values' world the only truth is power - by any means necessary.

3. The GOP is a lie.
The Amazing Spinning Zombie Lincoln may get a rest after January 20, 2009.

4. The party lost any honor it had
The Republican party has lost any honor it ever had. Lincoln, Eisenhower, Goldwater, and many other old time Republicans would not recognize the party anymore.
