More Republican lying liars....

There likely will be a great post soon on the factual inaccuracies of Governor Palin's speech, but for now we can dig into what Joe Lieberman and Fred Thompson lied about on Tuesday night.

Here's a few plum targets:

• Lieberman said Obama hadn't "reached across party lines" to accomplish "anything significant," though Obama has teamed with GOP Sens. Tom Coburn and Richard Lugar to pass laws enhancing government transparency and curtailing the proliferation of nuclear and conventional weapons.
  
  
• Thompson repeated misleading claims about Obama's tax program, saying it would bring "one of the largest tax increases in American history." But as increases go, Obama's package is hardly a history-maker. It would raise taxes for families with incomes above $250,000. Most people would see a cut.
  
  
• Lieberman also accused Obama of "voting to cut off funding for our American troops on the battlefield." But Obama's only vote against a war-funding bill came after Bush vetoed a version of the bill Obama had supported – and McCain urged the veto.

Nice lying lies fellas! You'll have to start making factual claims to handle Obama's momentum.
