Great Truman quote posted by Andrew Sullivan - essentially one of the themes of this campaign.

"I wonder how many times you have to be hit on the head before you find out who's hitting you? It's about time that the people of America realized what the Republicans have been doing to them," - Harry Truman.

Truman's Truth

"I wonder how many times you have to be hit on the head before you find out who's hitting you? It's about time that the people of America realized what the Republicans have been doing to them," - Harry Truman.

I should add that the many criticisms from the GOP and its flacks of my attempts to bring to light all aspects of Palin's dreadful record and constant lies reminds me of Harry Truman's dictum. I'm only airing the truth. It's just that it feels like hell to the liars, Sarah Palin and John McCain.

1. Back in those days the press was much less partisan

People wonder why Obama isn't calling McCain out - he is. But it is not being reported. "Lipstick on a pig" gets reported. McCain's lies are allowed to spread without comment.
I figure the debates will be the Dem against the press and the repug and whoever the repug is wired to.

He once said, "I'll stop telling the truth about your record when you stop lying about mine."
