11. Why are you splitting hairs!!!!!
When you make a statement as Pulin and McCain made , a normal
person would interpret it as you were making a statement ,,
instead of making a statement.

12. What new pussy cat
Just when does McCain tell the truth , when he doesn't tell a
lie.
In that case McCain never tells the turth.

Where in the h... do people pick up this phase of McCain is a
straight shooters and he is their friend.

McCain has no democratic friends , unless we are talking about
the Blue Dogs , Pelosi , Schumer , Feinstein,,,,, Ohhhhh I
forgot his goto man republican Lieberman...

2. Why lie about that?
It makes no effing sense at all. She could say she sold the plane, that's it. Instead, she makes up a story that she actually sold it on Ebay? That's just weird.

But I'd recommend repost it with a more direct title about the plane. Everyone is talking about that here.

she said 'I put it on ebay' yada yada

mention the ebay plane in the title and you should get Greatest.


IMHO

9. So the citizens of Alaska unwittingly furnished a discounted jet for one of Palin's contributors
Do I have that right?
If so, that doesn't seem like something I'd want to brag about if I were her.

6. Classic conservative vs. liberal relationship with the truth...
As I posted in another thread...

Conservatives champion the letter of the law (the facts) whereas liberals champion the spirit of the law (justice). This difference is key to understanding our opponents...

Technically, Palin was correct... She "put" the jet on eBay, but nothing ever came of it. In her conservative mind, she told the truth on stage when she parsed her words carefully... It's not her fault if the audience took her precise statement further... She giggled after she delivered that line because she knew she got away with telling the truth while misleading the audience at the same time.

So... John is repeating his interpretation the story, and everyone will cut him some slack... But, the key point remains that Palin didn't lie (technically).

14. She may have put it on ebay, but she didn't sell it at a profit, therefore, she lied.

10. If she "sold it at a loss" does it mean she gave the buyer a deep discount?
