Over and over and over the Repuglicans lie, they lie about everything, but most recently their lies are about oil. It is one thing to make a mistake, it is another to continually repeat lies because that is all you have. Enter the Repuglican (no typo, since Repuglilcans can't get the word "Democratic Party out of their mouth they are Repugnent to me, thus "Repuglican").

There are three bold faced lies the Repuglicans are telling, and well, if they can't, or won't, tell the truth, one has to wonder why. Why do they lie? Because they have nothing else to fall back on, because the truth doesn't help them and because as a group the Repuglicans are just the most dishonest political party our nation has ever seen.

So, what are these lies? Here they are for you in their glory, repeatd by McSame's campaign, repeated by the Bush administration, repeated by Repuglicans who hope you aren't smart enough to know the truth.

• No oil was spilled during Katrina:

  In a Tuesday speech delivered before an audience of oil executives, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) pushed to overturn the federal ban on offshore oil drilling. McCain claimed drilling is so 'safe' that 'not even Hurricane Katrina and Rita could cause significant spillage from battered rigs off the coasts of New Orleans and Houston.'

• China is drilling for oil 60 miles off the coast of Florida. This one is a doozy started by none other then Tricky Dick Cheney, and has been repeated by other Repuglicans over and over and over, even though they know there is NO truth to this statement.

• Offshore drilling is needed to curtail the current oil crisis: Nothing could be further from the truth, and on this one at least the Repuglicans add that drilling would only help Americans through a perception.
  

The bottom line is that the Repuglican party can't tell the truth if it bit them in their rear. And that is not just a national issue, look at what local Repuglican candidate Pat Waite does when he can't get any endorsements, he lies about them. Though, to his credit, he corrected the lie, and he even posted a comment on our blog.

Sorry Pat, but the fact that your website posted and left the offending lie about the Mercury endorsement up for months speaks volumes, especially since you didn't make the correction until you were called on it. Oh, and just so you know, it was "noticed" long before it was reported, and as the days, weeks and months went by without any correction by you, it was then pointed out.

Whether the issue is local or national we can count on the Repuglican party to spread lies because the truth is something they avoid at all costs.

America deserves better, our local government deserves better, and come November the nation is going to send some truth to the Repuglican party.
