Arianna: McCain told me he didn’t vote for Bush in 2000 (Maverick double-standard...?)

Furthermore, as shown by his comments today, If McCain is elected, he will grant Amnesty to 20-40 million+ Hispanic illegal aliens. A voting block that votes reliably 70% Democrat.

Yup. Whoooooooooooooole lotta people hereabouts, lately, who (form all available outward appearances) feel just fine'n'comfy'peachy keen-o with that scenario, too.

Every so often... now and again: you have to stop and wonder why.

“Are you really going to take Arianna Huffington’s word? “

No, it just sounds like something John McCain would do. True to form.

[HAL9000]

I'll believe him when he admits that McCain-Kennedy was Amnesty.

I'm not going to take Arianna Huffington's word for it. She should produce a more credible witness.

Washington Post - McCain Denies Huffington Vote Claim

I absolutely appreciate the link; seriously, don't get me wrong... but:

... you know. The guy lies a whole awful lot, after all.

Ultimately: my belief in any one individual's overall veracity is based upon how genuinely truthful (or otherwise) they've been to me in the past.

Juan's personal account is "in arrears," as they say. ;)

[Enchante]

The fact that the source is Arianna Huffington vitiates the claim that the story is not a “hit” piece. There is no evidence that Hot Air obtained any further substantiation, so the “story” comes entirely from Arianna, as repeated on Hot Air. Apparently you think that the willingness of Hot Air to repeat it gives it added credibility; I do not agree. The “story” so far depends 100% on the word of Arianna Huffington, a person known to be one of the most vicious and depraved opportunists in public life.

As I said, I find the story plausible, based upon what we do know about John McCain, but I do not regard anything coming from Arianna as bearing any credibility. Consider the source.

[1035rep]

Arianna is NEVER a reliable.

She's a flaming liberal kook.  Her boy Obama is taking a lot of hits,  she wants to change the subject.

[Bullish]

McPain makes me want to puke!

To think this is the best the Republicans could do is unbelievable.

[Bullish]

....because standing next to Romney, McCain would look old, ugly and stupid.

McCain would look old, ugly and STUPID no matter who he stands next to.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

The fact that the source is Arianna Huffington vitiates the claim that the story is not a “hit” piece.

For you...? Quite possibly. For those of us who are regular Hot Air visitors? Meh... not so much.

Apparently you think that the willingness of Hot Air to repeat it gives it added credibility; I do not agree.

Whereas I, on the other hand, do. We'll simply have to agree to disagree on this one, won't we?

I find the story plausible, based upon what we do know about John McCain

As do I; and that, ultimately, is the bottom line. ;)

[1035rep]

I knew this was coming. I liked the comment from Mark Salter at the end.

"Why would she make something up? Because she's a flake, and a poser, and an attention seeking diva. And that's on the record."

[Graybeard58]

I won’t vote for McCain unless MItt Romney is the VP pick

I guess we cancel each others vote because I won't vote for McCain if Romney is McCain's VP choice. Why would you vote for a ticket with not one but two liberals on it?

[Nam Vet]

I did the same for Bush. (and I am very disappointed in a lot of his downright leftist crap)

There are two reasons I WILL HOLD MY NOSE and vote for McVain. Possible strong Constitutionalists as a new Supreme(s) and a strong Conservative VP.

I'm an optimist, as you can see, but I must say that I don't trust that back stabbing son of a bitch as far as I can throw him.

[NormsRevenge]

It’s OK, vote cancellation , that is.. (No, not really, but Im too tired to beat any more dead horses)

The crossover dems did much the same to conservatives votes in key early primaries and this is what we end up with.

Huffington has more gas leaking from her head than the Hindenburg.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Huffington has more gas leaking from her head than the Hindenburg.

No argument here. ;) Doesn't make the likelihood of a man who deserately wanted to be John F. Kerry's VP running mate in '04 refusing to vote for the Republican nominee for president any less credible, however, IMHO.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Damn straight. *omney would make a perfect running mate for Obama, both sleazy, lying left-wingers.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

"deserately" = desperately.

Listen up Republicans.  The Republican National Committee and Senator John McCain are looking for folks who are willing to let bygons be bygons.

Over the last twenty years, Senator McCain has taken on a lot of baggage.  Today he needs many of you to help him carry it.

If you're willing to help John carry some of the same baggage that Senator Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton have accumlated, please contact the McCain campaign and or the RNC at once.  It's going to take a lot of folks to carry this around between now and Tuesday November 4th.

If you're a Democrat in good standing and find some of this baggage to be appealing, you may find yourself compelled to help out, and we would welcome you.  We're asking anyone who doesn't mind carrying this baggage to contact us right away.

We have found a larger number of Conservatives unwilling to overlook what this baggage represents, than we thought we would, so we're reaching out to anyone that is willing to help out.

Please use the following numbers to offer help.  900-555-NUTS or 900-555-LFTY.


P.S. Arianna is a dinbat.

[DoughtyOne]

Ah, make that dingbat. LOL

[Defiant]

If you’d rather see hillary or obama be president, then by all means don’t vote for Mccain and go vote for the dem.

But don't you see the irony? The guy you want us all to vote, by your logic, wanted Al Gore to be President. That would have been lovely after 9-11.
