Time: "John McCain and the Lying Game"

[Oliver]

Chavez is worse than Ahmadinejad?

Are they liars, too? Then it might be on-topic.

Sorry Oliver. I really think people don't consider their favorite candidate to be a liar, kind of a forgive and forget kind of thing. We want to vote and we have to support somebody, right?

Well, I started this thread to keep the remembrance alive - despite
all the forgive and forget thingy.

And yes, you have to vote for something or somebody. Unfortunately.
Or you just refuse to vote.

 

[WildCat]

Of course you would. If you've ever voted, you probably already have. Your pretense to the contrary only shows that you are a liar.

Oliver is on record here as never having voted in his own country, and as stating he as no interest whatsoever in his own country's politics.

The USA is that great!

USA!
USA!
USA!

USA!
USA!
USA!

I hear if you yeah that loudly enough it will drown out the din of the carnage on Wall Street, the car bombs in Iraq, news reports that the population is giving the sitting president record low approval ratings, the media's reporting on McCain's lying campaign and the Palin scandals and the citizens complaints from high unemployment rates.

Shhhh... I have a secret.... I even hear if you say it loudly enough god will grant us dilling rights to off shore drilling so we can continue to use nonrenewable energy resources and keep us in the pockets of the people who hate us in the Middle East. Cool!

I'm seriously wondering about what Argument is left for a McCain-Palin vote,
other than just voting against Democrats no matter what.

Could someone explain why anyone would vote for Liars other than "No matter what"?

 

[RandFan]

They just don't hold up the "We, the Morals" banner in such a ridiculous manner as the Reps do.

Good point. That makes lying better.

It's loads of fun for the whole family. And it's an American tradition.

McCain supports a ban on gay marriage at the federal level? He wants to outlaw abortion? He flip-flopped and now supports Falwell? What I don't get is how anyone can say they are republican and in the same breath deny being a bigot.

You may call me Anti-American, but such a tradition -by definition- would
be stupid. Of course, same goes for similar German traditions to vote just
like ones Parents do.

That's my point.

I don't even think that McCain is a conservative from what I heard
so far - so it's even more ridiculous to defend him - unless you're
actually a democrat.

 

[Oliver]

And a new Ad actually refers to the Family issue you raised, RandFan:

 

[RandFan]

You may call me Anti-American...

You mean like I can call a car a car? Thanks for that.

...but such a tradition -by definition- would be stupid.

Really? Even if it is fun and brings families together?

 

[Oliver]

Well, last time I checked, some 3000 Families disagree with you on that.

 

[RandFan]

Well, last time I checked, some 3000 Families disagree with you on that.

That's a rather even number.

 

[leonAzul]

Well, I don't really have a strong opinion on that reconfirmation.

John McCain and the Lying Game

But I wonder why people love to vote for notorious Liars...

Perhaps this:

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But Id rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.

Caught lying again:

McCain plays dumb while Meredith Viera nails him on “golden parachute” hypocrisy

Download | Play

Viera: You have said, bottom line, it’s those fat cats. It’s the greed of Wall Street. You promised to crack down on CEOs who walked away with huge severance packages. And yet the person who up until recently was your public face on your economic policy was Carly Fiorina. She’s the former CEO of Hewlett Packard, she was fired in 2005, but she left with a $45 million dollar golden parachute while 20,000 of her employees were laid off. She is an example of exactly the kind of person you say is at the root of the problem. How can you say that?
​

McCain: I don’t think so. … Because I think she did a good job as CEO in many respects. I don’t know the details of her compensation package. But she’s one of many advisers that I have.

Viera: But she did get a $45 million dollar golden parachute after being fired while 20,000 of her employees were laid off.

McCain: I have many of the people, but I do not know the details of what happened.
