Seven points that the mass media either completely ignores or jokes about that, in any reasonable election, would have ended McCain's hopes of ever becoming president.

1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace."
2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy.
3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop.
4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable.
5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop.
6. McCain campaign misled about economists support.
7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians.
8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics.

Each point is thoroughly researched and most of it comes straight from McCain's mouth.

"Straight Talk" my ass.

Well thats a subjective opinion. But the word "lie" denotes an objective truth. Lets see how many of these are in fact, lies?


1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace."

That's an OPINION of His. Its also one which is arguable by many defintions. It is not however, a "lie".


2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy.

Again a "lie" is not an opinion you dont agree with. Look the word up.


3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop.

Youll have to define "bizarre" as well as "fli-flop" to make your case. But at least you actually point to somehting that could, concievably, be a "lie"

4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable.

In what way is that a lie? Believable to whom?

5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop.

Huh?

6. McCain campaign misled about economists support.

In what way?

7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians.

Again, how is this a "lie"?

8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics.

Since when?

Each point is thoroughly researched and most of it comes straight from McCain's mouth.

Saying it, does not make it so and almost half your list couldnt be consider "lies" even if they were proved. Sloppy.
