McCain: Obama 'Didn't Tell the American People the Truth'

MCCAIN: Let me say I have great admiration and respect for Senator Durbin...

(snip)

MCCAIN: Let me give you a couple of points of straight talk. I resent it enormously when Senator Reid comes to the floor and accuses Republicans or compares Republicans to those who fought against the abolition of slavery. He said that. That's -- that's unacceptable.

As far as the president's commitments are concerned, he made that commitment to the American people, so he didn't tell the American people the truth when he was campaigning for president. How's that?

[rabscuttle385]

...so he didn't tell the American people the truth when he was campaigning for president.

and neither did you, Queeg.

But that's because you were too busy kissing Obama's arse.

Then, when Palin actually tried to win, you threw her under the bus.

Maybe you did that because Romney convinced you to do so, like he convinced you to back TARP.

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 10 OCT. 2008

"I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have
no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 02 APR. 2004

[rabscuttle385]

Either McNuts actually believed Obama, in which case he is an idiot, or he actively participated in Obama's treachery.

Either way, he was and still is throughly unfit for command.

Maybe the whole “You Lie!” thing is starting to take off perhaps???

The air during the State of the Union show next month is going to be thick with the sentiment...

I know I’ll be saying it...

[jws3sticks]

I sincerely think it is time for Sen. McCain to book and take a one way Greyhound bus ticket to Arizona and stay there, with a sock in his mouth, forever.

[who knows what evil?]

One thing about McCain...you can always tell when there is an election coming up...throw this SOB out of office, Arizona.

McCain and Romney stopped Gov. Palin and the American people from saving America.

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."

---

The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.

---

Erick Erickson, who organized Operation Leper, said:
"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."

---

"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."

Poor sport spoiler Romney attacks other GOP candidates:

Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"

Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."

"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."

At the end of the day, when the RomneyBOT squeeling is peeled away:

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
--  President Ronald Reagan

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
--  President Ronald Reagan

McCain just figured this out? Look, the day Obama threw his mom under the bus to save Rev. Wright’s sorry tail was the beginning of the blatant lies he campaigned on.

McCain probably still believes Obama when he says he had no idea Wright was an America hating, racist POS after sitting there for 20 years.

[Steely Tom]

Re-election time for Juan!

[dforest]

but....but...Juan promised us we had nothing to worry about with Obozo.

I guess Juan lied.

[IamConservative]

Your fifteen minutes is up Johnny. Should have played hard ball during the campaign. Obama was lying like a throw rug then too.

[DooDahhhh]

We do not have to be afraid of Obama being pres. I was totally pissed at the time he said this and still am.

[Ronbo1948]

Excellent article! DUMP CAPTAIN QUEEG McCAIN THE RINO!

[mad_as_he$$]

What was 0 dishonest about there Johnny? Did he not tell that you tongued his a$$ while kissing it? Did he fail to mention your need lotion for your reach arounds -oh I mean reach across.... Time to go johnny you are an embarrassment.

[InvisibleChurch]

McCain also said Obama would make a fine president during the campaign.

[paulycy]

McCain is trying so desperately to be relevant.

He’s failed.

Miserably.

Go away John.

Please.

[aruanan]

Go away John.

Please.

No, he could still redeem himself by figuratively throwing himself on the grenade of health care to protect the American people.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yeah;-)

” Vote McCain. He will do to America what Arnold did to California”

[Ronbo1948]

BARF! True Republicans should never have good word to say about President Zero...In fact, real Republicans should not even associate with Leftards, or have them for friends.

The only goal for the GOP should be their defeat and removal from all aspects of American society by means of execution, imprisonment or exile.
