Lies I've Heard at the Republican Convention (So Far)

1. "After 8 years, I know what it takes to be president"
2. His "beautiful wife" Cindy
3. "Fully qualified"
4. From the "great state" of Alaska
5. "So he called for more troops, and now we're winning"
6. "A man who never quits is never defeated"
7. An increasingly belligerent "Russia"
8. "Senator" Fred Thompson
9. "American" flags
10. "Freedoms"

  1. You're cute.

    I mean, good list.

    It is OK to call people Senator if they are retired, though.

    Cindy McCain talked about the upcoming Rwandan elections today. She said that someone from Rwanda told her that if a man _didn't_ choose a woman to run for President (in Rwanda) they'd think something was wrong.

    Paul Kagame was Vice-President from 1994-2000, and then the position was abolished.

    Kagame won with about 94% of the vote last time, and it is illegal to criticize him.

    However, it might be noted, Kigale (the capital) is very, very clean. They have banned plastic bags, so they don't fly around, and the government regulates the number of feet of flower beds you must have around your house. This paragraph is from an acquaintance of min who returned to America from Kigale a month ago after a year there.
