Say It Ain’t So…Lying About Knowing One Sister, Denying Another?

First Cindy McCain is denying a half sister, then John McCain is making up stories about meeting another sister, something that never happened.

Of course there’s better things to talk about in this election cycle…like health care, the economy, war in Iraq…but this is the sort of thing that sticks in people mind. Invoking babies and Mother Teresa is bound to twaddle some conservative and independents, and send them stunned and tittering to the voting booth.

And to that, I feel it’s important to point out lies as they lie.

McCain is a Progressive on Energy Says Bill Clinton

Straight from the lips of Bill Clinton himself, in an election year, when he knows fully that McCain’s energy positions shift with the same regularity as winds in a cyclone…yes, this is political WTF?

Now that the primaries are done, and we’re running as one big party, its easy to see how Bill Clinton screwed things up for Hillary. The guy can’t stand it if people don’t like him, and he’ll say anything just to get a few hookups later.

18 Million Supporters Should Buck up a Couple Bucks

Few things get my ire up than illogical stupidity. Perhaps this is why I never jived with the Hillary Campaign. Reading on CNN just now, Lynn Forrester, one of Clinton’s billionaire backers said, “He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama. Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It’s ungracious.” This is the same Lynn Forrester de Rothchild (wow, not that’s an elitist name) that set up the website, togther4us.com, a site that basically is a protest against Obama. And now she has the gall to complain about Clinton debt?

You know, Lynn, your right. If everyone one of Hillary’s 18 million supporters gave a buck, her debt would be gone…no wait, she had a lot of debt. A ton of debt. She’d need two bucks…

You see, my point is that all those that kept telling her, keep in the race, keep in the race - you’re the ones that have an obligation, not Obama. The Clinton’s have done nothing to help Obama.

Get over it. Major WTF.

A Closer Look at McCain’s Top 3 Faux Advisors

The myth of the McCain Maverick is really a cover for a man terribly unsure of where he really stands. This was evident on Saturday at the Saddle Back Forum, when McCain rattled off his three advisers he’d call on and trust their wisdom. A closer look at this list of three brings out the WTF in all of us.

From left to right:

1. General David Petraeus: This was a gimme, considering McCain’s love fest with war. And its one of the wise people he mentioned that I no doubt would expect him to actually have in a McCain White House. My problem with Petraeus is that he tells leaders what they want to hear (the reason he’s so well liked by McCain), and that’s the exact mentality that got us into the mess of Iraq in the first place.

And now for the two total pandering “wise” advisers mentioned by McCain:

2. Rep. John Lewis: I have all respect for John Lewis, but this was so obviously an attempt to pander at the one demographic Obama has locked up that it’s surprising that he even tried. First, McCain has been a champion against civil rights more often then a champion for civil rights, by opposing the MLK Holiday, both nationally and in Arizona. But it’s also striking because John Lewis is a democrat who doesn’t even advise McCain in any way today, despite both serving in Congress for over 20 years together.

3. Meg Whitman, Ebay: Obviously an appeal to Hillary Clinton supporters, I get the feeling that McCain floated Meg Whitman’s name, if only to test her name in the VP waters, after getting backlash from his base on Ted Strickland, the pro-choice governor. Plus, she provides an insight into McCain’s economic vision for America…while you’ll never make it rich, by his standard of $5 million, you could join the 1.3 million currently making a living off eBay.

McCain’s Very Lifted POW Story

UPDATE: McCain campaign denies that the story is fabricated, and calls DailiyKOS bloggers, the D&D crowd. Too bad the story was first pointed out by a Republican blog in 2005.

Ok, two hours ago I had no idea who Solzhenitsyn was. However, my conclusion, while it’s going to be hard to prove, I really think if you go back to ‘99, McCain started this story, in an attempt to slowly building religion into the fabric of his life. Unfortunately, this is starting to sound a lot like Hillary’s sniper fire in Bosnia.

BTW where are all of the Vietnamese propaganda tapes McCain made while a POW? I thought that would’ve been his greatest moral failing.

Where’s McCain’s Flag Pin?

On the night McCain delivered his most watched speech, taking advantage of the historical importance of those other two historical candidates, you’d think McCain would’ve done everything he could to deliver a knock out punch. Instead, aside from the gaffe on how to rehydrate babies with hot water, and the Hamas-green backdrop, he also appears to have gaffed the wardrobe by not wearing a flag pin demonstrative of his patriotism.

Now personally, I could care less, as I’m sure is the case with most other progressives. I even cringe a tad seeing one on Obama, knowing that he’s wearing this flag piece to convince the less educated that he’s not Muslim. (No, actually he might be wearing it out of respect to the veteran who gave it to him.)

But my cynicism causes me to digress. What I was trying to say was, for a Republican to take the stage and not be wearing one - well that’s just a bit too maverick for me.

And wait, listen. Where are all the conservative commentators, the media, and the stupification army in their plastic outrage. Fox News - don’t let us down now. Washington Times, please make this an issue. Rushie, this is so vitally important to this nation.
