Why would she think she has to tell the truth? What an interesting...and sad...comment. Your rationale for her lying is..."because Obama has no real experience it is okay for her to lie." Wow.





I can clearly see that you are against lying. Just for fun, I'd like you to have a look at my real life credentials. For the record, I have no bio or resume. I've been gainfully employed or self employed for 30 years and have never had to present a resume. I run a sole proprietorship and an S corporation.
Here's what mine could say:

Biography:
Extensive professional musical performance Overseas and Worldwide. ( I worked on a cruise ship for 12 years-having been to over 100 port of call in over 60 countries- I was performing and it wasn't in the U.S., so where was it? I was technically IN the foreign country at the time)

...I have international clientele for arranging music (yes, the vast majority in the U.S. and Canada and one guy from Australia)

No lies here.


Now for the S corp.

MDF, Inc. (this is not the actual name of my S corp, and it is coincidental if I am using a real company name for my purposes here, it is unintentional and I apologize)

If you disregard the parenthetical realities, it sounds pretty good, and is completely truthful.

Resume:

Position:President of MDF, Inc. from 2005 to date. (I am the only officer and employee)
Majority stockholder in the corporation. (there is one one share of stock-and I have it)
Duties: to oversee the day to day business of the company (I oversee myself-loading my gear in the car)
and to manage the staff. (which is only myself)
Under my leadership the company has realized expansive growth over recent years. Revenues have quadrupled from 2005 to 2006. (not difficult- I was only in business one month of 2005) MDF has acquired financing (I gave my company a loan) new assets and facilities under my leadership. I have also been in charge of marketing and advertising. (I got some business cards and magnets) MDF has been a part of many successful joint ventures under my leadership (I worked with other contractors)
MDF has realized profitability and success due to my leadership skills.

I realize that this is an amatuerish attempt at writing a resume, like I said, I know nothing about resumes, I've never had one.
But, the point is you can make something sound really good, and still be truthful.
It was said that padding is lying. I padded the heck out of this and didn't lie.

Now, about Sarah Palin.
Can you tell me, in the video, exactly where she lied? What was untruthful and not a matter of opinion?
BTW, what did you think of Bill Clinton's lying?
