During the 2010 mid-term elections, 16 percent of registered Democrats voted, the lowest Democratic midterm turnout since before 1962. Republican turnout was 22 percent higher.

The greatest achievement in voter suppression comes not from Republican gerrymandering, not from squeezing election hours and not from the needless voter ID laws? It is the Democratic voters themselves who suppress their own ideals by failing to recognize the consequences of vanishing during the mid-terms.

Richard Lewis and Friends Mock Political Deception with New Web Commercials

Can comedian and actor Richard Lewis talk politicians into being honest? Probably not, but that’s not keeping a band of top comics and actors from giving it a shot. Consequently, personalities like Lewis, Rita Rudner, Paul Rodriguez, Bruce Davison, Danny Woodburn, Harry Hamlin and Ed Asner are appearing in a series of satirical public service announcements endorsing the nonpartisan, Flackcheck.org, an offshoot website of the Annenberg Public Policy Center.

Flackcheck, the sister site of Factcheck.org, creates tongue-in-cheek videos spotlighting political misrepresentation by politicians, candidates, pundits and political parties and their misinformation in campaign commercials, speeches and newscasts.

In one ad, Lewis and the others feigns disbelief in anyone wanting to take a politician’s “constitutional right” to misrepresent the facts. As Davison puts it, “Surely you don’t want your candidates spending valuable time trying to figure out what’s accurate and what isn’t.” Lewis adds, “For years, distortion of fact has been the staple of political creativity.”

Annenberg Public Policy Center Director and Flackcheck founder, Kathleen Jamieson, believes using satire to promote a satirical website choice. “It was a lot easier to find honest comedians than honest political campaigns.” said Jamieson.

Here's the first video: http://www.youtube.com/...

Send this video to everyone you know. Tell politicians 50% of the turth is no truth at all.

"F—ing retarded." Presidential Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel scolding a liberal group at a private meeting at the White House.

"Rahm’s slur on all God’s children with cognitive and developmental disabilities – and the people who love them – is unacceptable, and it’s heartbreaking." Sarah Palin wrote while calling for Emanuel’s firing on her Facebook page

"Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards...There’s going to be a retard summit at the White House." Rush Limbaugh on his radio show referring to Emanuel’s comments and his White House meeting with disability advocates.

"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there." Sarah Palin, defending Limbaugh on Fox News Sunday.

Bill O'Reilly's weekly column appears on the LA Daily News opinion page. This past week the Oped Editor of that page wrote her own column opining that Bill's 24/7 claim that it's the liberal agenda that's killing newspapers...is dead wrong.

Republicans who had been 100% behind the administration’s sending our young men and women into war, refused to give appropriate health services to our disabled veterans.

Patrick Murphy has helped make that old news. Just like the Republican majority.

In an attempt to cover last minute paid ads, the McCain/Palin campaign has resorted to emails sent from untrackable Nigerian URLs. One such email follows...

The National Republican Senatorial Committee put out a kitchen-sink type ad in Minnesota Monday, accusing someone of writing pornography, laughing at the disabled, humiliating minorities and demeaning women.

And I thought Republicans liked Bill O’Reilly.

But I kid the NRSC.
