We're just at the beginning of Palin's introduction to the Nation, and it's pretty clear that both McCain and Palin have lied repeatedly. No matter what the topic - Palin, McCain, Obama - the lies have been nonstop.
In fact, they've lied so much that I'm having trouble remembering all of them at once. So here, I'm making a list of lies to keep track.
Please feel free to add to the list in the comments (provide a source also), and I'll try to keep it updated.
