Even long time Republicans are speaking out against the lies McCain is telling.

From Watertown, NY, a quote in part:
"McCain running a campaign of lies and fear
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2008

As a former New York State Republican Committee member I am extremely disappointed and embarrassed by the campaign of lies, deceptions and fear being foisted on the American people by the Republican candidate for president, John McCain. The country became used to this kind of deceitful tactic during the campaigns of the current administration, but I had hoped for better from a man who promoted himself as being a maverick and honest and straightforward. Now we are getting more of the same from a man I had always considered to be an honorable American.

Lies about his opponent's tax plan, lies about his opponent's legislative record and lies about his own running mate have been documented by many major and respected news organizations around the country. Even the Web site factcheck.org has documented lies and misrepresentations by the McCain campaign that referenced factcheck.org itself.

Just look at the issue of the McCain campaign's attacks on his opponent's legislative record. The facts are these: In four years in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Obama's name was attached to three pieces of major legislation that became law. In Sen. McCain's 26 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, his name appears on just six pieces of legislation that became law. You do the math." Dorothy M. Hilts
