6. He mostly has surrogates do his lying for him.
And most of his lies are false innuendo, like "Obama is a Muslim" (when he's a Christian) and "Obama pals around with terrorists" (Obama was eight-years-old when the alleged terrorist was participating in the Weather Underground). McCain is hard to catch in a direct, blatant lie, but people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, and others do a lot of lying that benefits McCain.

Oh, here's a good one: McCain says Obama promised to accept public financing of his campaign. That's a certain lie. Obama said he'd consider it.

Hope that helps.

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

21. ***That he fought against Bush about TORTURE !!!***
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 08:55 AM by annabanana
How about that one?

Congress passed a bill that would have prohibited ALL branches and divisions of the government from using techniques banned by the Geneva Conventions (and that includes "enhanced interrogation techniques" like water-boarding)

Bush VETOED it and McCreep voted to uphold the veto!.

That flip flop was the lowest a human being (especially him) could possibly go. A little bit of humanity in every human being on Earth died with that one.

22. lied about Obama
not wanting to go visit the troops bc cameras could not go with him, during his Middle East trip(and playing basketball instead)....the reporters who were on the trip called him out on that. Also, the "Obama wanted to teach sex ed to kiddies" ad, when it was referring to a bill that helped warn children about sex predators...when confronted about it on The View (The View for Christ sake), he said in a weak little voice "No..it's the truth..." That's all he does when confronted with his outright lies...deny it. Also, lied about him suspending the campaign and going straight to Warrrshington.
