The republican machine is grinding on all cylinders to try and get people to forget that the republicans have had the white house for the last 8 years with 6 of those years also having a republican majority in the house and senate.

They want you to forget all of that and believe that John McCain who was part of that regime and who voted with george Bush 95% of the time is the right person to fix the mess the republicans have gotten this country into.

Now they even have the NRA willing to lie for them;

NRA Targets Obama
September 22, 2008
It falsely claims in mailers and TV ads that Obama plans to ban handguns, hunting ammo and use of a gun for home defense.
Summary
A National Rifle Association advertising campaign distorts Obama’s position on gun control beyond recognition.

The NRA is circulating printed material and running TV ads making unsubstantiated claims that Obama plans to ban use of firearms for home defense, ban possession and manufacture of handguns, close 90 percent of gun shops and ban hunting ammunition.

Much of what the NRA passes off as Obama’s “10 Point Plan to ‘Change’ the Second Amendment” is actually contrary to what he has said throughout his campaign: that he “respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms” and “will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport, and use guns.”

The NRA, however, simply dismisses Obama’s stated position as “rhetoric” and substitutes its own interpretation of his record as a secret “plan.” Said an NRA spokesman: “We believe our facts.”

Perhaps so, but believing something doesn’t make it so. And we find the NRA has cherry-picked, twisted and misrepresented Obama’s record to come up with a bogus “plan.”

So basically, no matter what Obama actually says, they are going to twist it and tryu to convince people he said something different. That is called bearing false witness for those who read the bible. This is the party christians are supposed to support?
