Politifact: Obama Lying About Small Campaign Donations
23. April 2010
As Allahpundit says, the whole “Obama got most of his campaign money from small donors” myth was busted even before election day 2008.

Americans are getting sick and tired of Islamist thugs threatening to hurt and even kill innocent people for doing nothing more than criticizing Islam, drawing a picture of Mohammed, or even uttering the Muslim prophet’s name.

Irony: Crist Goes After Cheney as “Washington politician telling Florida what to do”
22. April 2010
An odd statement coming from a guy who warmly welcomed the endorsements of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the governor of Puerto Rico, Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Those Washington politicians can apparently tell Floridians what to do, but God forbid a former vice president [...]
