That lying Stefani Carter

Of course, all politicians lie, especially when they are campaigning, but there is one campaign ad by Stefani Carter who's running for the state legislature that really irritates me. It begins with shots of all these supposed residents who claim they've lived in the area for so many years. But the part that really gets me is when they begin talking about the "Obama/Pelosi" tax increases instituted to fund their "massive" spending. WHAT??? The truth is Obama instituted a tax cut for 95 percent of the American taxpaying population, a cut that decreased taxes last year by $400 for individuals and $800 for married couples.

True, as some recent news stories have illustrated, too many people are suffering from short-term memory loss when it comes to these tax cuts, but that's still no reason for Carter to lie. Not only that, what is a state legislator doing even bringing up the subject? It's not like she could do anything about it even if she is elected. I guess if you don't have a platform of your own on which to run, you attack the easiest available target.

Upon further review, it turns out this campaign ad is only the tip of the Carter dirty iceberg. For all her railings against Obama in her campaign ads, she plagarized one of his 2004 speeches and now her bosses at the lawe firm where she works have endorsed her opponent.
