This is what McCain needed to do! People don’t like other people when they lie. McCain is tackling Obama’s classical use of the Socialist playbook:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. Joseph Goebbels.
A lie told often enough becomes truth Vladimir Lenin.
Obama never served one day in the US Military, but McCain was willing to lay his life on the line for our country.
