I am glad to see the media finally using the l word as in lies. Maybe if they had used it when McBush was doing it, we would have save thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. Instead we have more the McSame and NO ONE has any idea why they would vote for this naive, senile war-monger. His party has ruined America and we want more of the Same?

XLib -

During Obama''s overseas trip this summer, he called off a meeting with wounded troops at a military hospital after the Pentagon told him that the trip might run afoul of a policy against visiting soldiers in the course of campaigning. A McCain ad accused him of canceling the meeting because he learned that cameras couldn''t accompany him. (In fact, the press had never been scheduled to come along.)

You are just as bad as McShame - a Lie becomes a Lie when somebody like you chooses to take it as a fact.

Merriam Webster''s defines Lie -

"to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive,"

or -

"to create a false or misleading impression."

This article is a great accounting of a man who doesn''t really know what the truth is, and he never will know.

John Feehery made the point even more bluntly, telling The Washington Post: "............facts don''t really matter."

There is no one so blind as the man that doesn''t want to see. If you think lying doesn''t matter look at the Iraq War. Tell the parents and children of those that are already dead that the "facts don''t really matter." Oh, sorry that''s what the last president did.

John McCain should be ashamed. He has no honor. It makes me wonder how long he has truly felt this way and what other lies he has told.

McShame lies because he thinks we are all stupid enough to believe him. That is what makes him totally unacceptable as President. Every time McShame lies he insults my intelligence.

He incessantly claims to love his country, he says he is a patriot, but that is a lie, too. How can anybody love their country while they show all the citizens such contempt, how can he love his country while he tells such outrageous lies?

He''s beginning to sound more crazy than Richard Nixon ever was, and Nixon was crazy as a bedbug.

Guess there''s nothing sleazy about what has been going on with Palin. No one can say that the messiah''s minions aren''t behind the attempted destruction of not only Sarah, but her family.
Guess there isn''t anything wrong with the messiah''s campaign running Spanish only ads in 4 states using lies to say mccain is against immigration when he co-sponsored the amnesty bill with ole ted. Nope, nothing wrong there.
So far the mccain campaign has been using the messiah''s own words. And, let''s not forget msm part in this. We all know the collective media is in the tank for the messiah. Just admit it for God''s sake.
