As most of you know, I am on team Obama which means that I spend time researching all of the lies the Republican attack machine comes up with in order to learn if what they say is true or not. Every single lie that I have heard, I have been able to easily disprove with minimal effort and not one person on this site has rebuked any of my facts, because they are just that, facts. So here is the latest Republican attack that is a downright lie.
Some are believing that McCain pays women better than Obama. Complete lie and not based in fact. Obama has only one intern on his campaign last year because he apparently believes in paying women money for the job they do. McCain doesn't feel the same way. He employed 23 interns, 8 of whom were women who were not getting paid a dime. In order for the Republican liars to make McCain looks good, they did not include those unpaid women when calculating the average salary of a female working on McCain's staff, which is how Tweety's figures were calculated. However, when those unpaid women were included, McCain is dead last in the average salary paid to women campaign staffers.
Just goes to show that you can't just beleive anything you read without finding out what figures and methodology were used to come up with a conclusion. One of the best lessons learned in college is how to discern fact from fiction in 'studies' that are trying to prove a point that they want made. We learn that it is easy to manipulate these studies into giving the results one wants. It's easy, but to those of us who know how to disect these studies, we can spot a lie a mile away. Now, if only you would read the methodology of studies that show illegals take out more than they put in. But, my guess is you won't because you are happy that your position appears correct. Like Britchick explained, most of you think from your heart without using your head.

Save the lives of your friends and family, vote for universal health care and a free world market of pharmeceuticals. Vote Democrat on Nov. 4. Save the lives of mothers who experience complications in their last trimester; that they may have the choice to continue their life caring for the children they already have rather than die during child birth. Vote Democrat on Nov. 4. Save the psyches and perhaps lives of rape victims that they cannot be raped of their choice to preserve what little of thier body they feel they have left. Vote Democrat on Nov. 4
