Katy Tur, who dates the likes of Keith Olberman, could not tell the truth if it slapped her in the face.

Something of Keith Olbersturmfuhrermann's slapped the gum-cuzzling newswhore Katy Whure in the face more than a few times when she was guzzling her way up the news ladder...

The only reason I didn’t vote for Sarah Palin was John McLiar

Had he selected Lieberman, as he wanted, he might have received 60 Electoral votes instead of the just over 160 he got in 2008.

Two not so small points.

1. His remarks “The fundamentals of the American economy are strong” delivered in mid September as Lehman Brothers was going up in smoke and the markets were getting pummeled. It showed voters that he was ignorant and out of touch with the information they could see in the crawler at the bottom of their screens as he was uttering that mistake.

2. He famously came in from the campaign trail to return to Washington to personally get the stimulus bill passed. Obama, just as much a Senator as McCain, stayed out on the trail and avoided responsibility for the failure of the stimulus bill to pass. McCain looked foolish and ineffective. And lots of people noticed.

He never recovered from that.

Making Mike Schmidt his campaign manager was the worst decision. Counting that campaign he crashed five times.

No name’s getting ISIS off the ground I think should be his greatest mistake, well the biggest one on his pile of mistakes.

On the plus side for lucky high school football teams across America, Olbersturmfuhrermann DID teach Katy Hoor that “blow” is only an expression...

He refused to criticize Obozo for fear of being labeled a “racist.” That and apart from the fact he never let Palin loose was the problem. He never had the testicles to wage a campaign.

That can’t be right.

He was labeled a rascist many times over before Obama step foot on this continent.

Google knows it too....

They really just don't get it.

They literally have no idea how real Americans in fly over country think.

The only reason that I voted for McCain was because Sarah was on the ticket.

Whaaatttt?? That was the one decision I ever liked that he made. She made him look like the ‘who-cares’ guy he truly was. Must have been ‘his turn.’

That’s funny. I was thinking the only heroic thing McCain EVER did was stand up to the RoveBushies with his pick of Sarah Palin as VP.

Of course, RoveBush wanted McCain to pick Mitt after the fleeting bipartisan ticket of LiebermanMcCain bit the dust with Rush’s help.

John McCain who helped Lois Lerner use the IRS to go after the Tea Party. Just another reason of many why I do not care for his politics. There are also the pictures of McCain with ISIS members.

Apart from the spark that Palin supplied, nobody *ever* voted for a president because of his VP pick. The assertion is stupid on its face. This media is so fake, it’s ridiculous.
