McCain on The View: He's Not Even TRYING to Tell the Truth Anymore
John McCain may be too cowardly to have given a press conference in over a month, but it looks like even the powder puff media is starting to turn a little testy. So if you haven't already check out the clips of McCain on The View.
Watching one bald lie after half-truth after distortion, I just had the feeling that McCain has just stopped even trying to tell the truth. He blatantly lied (or was truly ignorant?) about Palin's love for earmarks, claiming she never requested any. His defense of approving misleading TV ads? "This is a tough election."
Barbara Walters was persistent in asking him to spell out exactly how he and Palin are going to "reform" Washington, but he couldn't give her a straight answer. Not only does he have to lie about her earmarks, but he keeps repeating the notion that she "took on" an incumbent Republican governor. Somebody please explain to me why it should be in any way remarkable that she should be given credit for mounting a primary challenge against a scandal-plagued Governor? Doesn't every primary or general election candidate "take on" the incumbent?
Listen to a classic question from Whoopi Goldberg: "Does that mean you're going to return me to slavery?" Hmmm... I didn't hear McCain respond clearly No ... and he did say that he wasn't going to impuse any litmus tests. Draw your own conclusions.
(Reminds me of Dustin Hoffman's crack on Leno: John McCain is so old, he OWNED Sidney Poitier.)
So what do you think about these clips on The View? Am I the only one who is utterly disgusted by the dishonorable, disgusting campaigner John McCain has become?
