Glad we agree on the lie but we part ways on it being the lie of the century. He has many more that rate way above this one that are of much greater importance and impact on and to the American people.

There's another thread and an explanation for the misunderstanding right here, left about 2 and a half hours ago.

The "and did not make a profit" is the newest spin though. I'll give you that one.

Back that up right here right now. The way I heard it was it sold for less than the original asking value. About 300K to be specific.
Hey Mr. Computer expert,

You linked to a post, not a thread. If you need some tech support, I can show you how to edit your post and fix it. You still have time.

Well that could be. I'm not a micro-manager of McCain's lies.

We'd all like you to share them with us here though.

To ABC123: No skippy, I linked to a post within another thread as I intended. But would you like a cookie?

If you want to mislead someone, just tell them a half truth.
When people sell something on Ebay , they say I SOLD it on Ebay, and then they usually give you an idea of how much they got for it. I know this from being an Ebay seller. If someone says they PUT it on Ebay it means either the auction isn't over yet or it didn't sell or they never got their reserve amount met. I think this might be a misunderstanding between people who are very familiar with Ebay and those who are not so much. I'm sure there is no vindictiveness, malice or envy involved.

Apparently not Republicans.

What Palin said is 100% factually correct. Sorry you have comprehension problems.
