A list of McCain's lies and flip flops, with citations.

Many, many more listed at Link

Some of you won't like the link. That doesn't make the list of lies and reversals any shorter.

The Captain also has fibbed a bit regarding his support of veterans.

Vets to McCain: Back New GI BIll

All talk and no action or as they say about the current CIC, all hat no cattle.

Well, to his credit, McCain didn't need all those veterans' benefits once he ditched the old ball and chain and married his rich trophy wife. Maybe he just wanted to encourage other vets to follow his lead.

Captain is collecting a little over $58,000 a year in veteran's benefits and another $20,000+ a year in social security benefits. He deserves every penny but if it weren't for Mrs. Captain's fortune he would likely be a bit less cavalier about increasing benefits for his fellow veterans. Too few heiresses, too many vets.

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah......

Yes, I figured that would be the response. But can you disprove any of the allegations against McSame?

Hey Kathy (my 'chum')

Sounds like gossiping over the fence. Wonder if they have curlers in their hair?

So stating facts sounds like gossiping to you, but quoting the Enquirer doesn't? Sheesh.

Well, I guess if you can't refute, you try to redirect.

Sigh, loosen up those curlers. Gossiping is what one does when one posts a hurtful "rumor" for the express purpose of being able to say "Well, if it's true -- Shame on him!". Your chum then says: "If it's true it's totally disgusting." Mission accomplished, you've succeeded in spreading a particularly hurtful piece of information (based on fact or not) and shown all of us how upright and moral you are.

I'm by no means above being snarky and mean but I try very hard to keep hypocrisy to a minimum.

As another poster asked, please do post any information you may have to refute the allegations about Senator McCain. Surely blah, blah, blah, isn't the best we can expect from you and/or chum is it?

I wonder what color hair trolls actually have?

What's the matter, all your mirrors broken?

That's the best you can do????? lol lol lol

No, but I thought appropriate response to a poster who thinks blah, blah, blah, blah, blah is clever --

If you ignore certain posters/do not respond to them, you take away their power. If the best response a person can give is "blah, blah, blah..." or "I have to keep my thoughts simple for you"; do you really think that they want to have a meaningful discussion?

By engaging these types of posters, you (the general you) allow them to be part of the conversation and bring in their negativity or spin.

Instead of "if you build it, they will come", try thinking "If I ignore them they will go away". It works for me.

This is directed at no one in particular...just an observation.

You're right, that was a tacky thing to say and I edited it. My apologies.

I'm confused by this. Do you mean Veteran's benefits should NOT be increased??

No, I meant they should be increased. I used cavalier under its definition of "haughty disregard for others". Should the sentence have read "He deserves every penny but if it weren't for Mrs. Captain's fortune he would likely be a bit less cavalier about not increasing benefits for his fellow veterans."? Maybe shouldn't have used cavalier or maybe it's just an awkward sentence.

THe whole topic of this post, imho, is to bash McCain. The reason I posted blah, blah, blah is because it didn't look like a request for an unbiased discussion but an assault on McCain. If you are going to call him McLiar as the topic header do you really think we are all going to view this as a request for a mature discussion of issues and/or candidates??? I think not.
John McCain has a long history of working for our country. That produces a huge record. The Martin Luther King holdiay quote was from 1983-25 YEARS ago. Has your perspective on issues ever changed in the last 25 years???? I know mine have. Being against abortion but allowing it for cases of rape is not necessarily flip-flopping. Lots of people feel this way. Obama doesn't have decades of political experience to be able to come up with such a laundry list as McCains. And I know some of those topic lines are taken out of context.
Are there any of you out there who have not changed your mind on some topics, issues, etc... in the last 25 years??????
So if there are future topics with such headers as Captain McLiar you can expect anyother post similar to blah, blah, blah........

Yep, I can see by this entry that you seriously wanted to discuss the issues not make rude comments, etc..... By the way, since you KNOW so much maybe you can tell us all about his personal life behind closed doors.....so his first wife was a ball and chain huh?? Nice thing to say. And he's been married to his "trophy" wife for how long now???? Seems to be working to me. But obviously you have intimate details of his marriages. More power to ya!

After 25 years a position change is allowed.

It's when a position that was held six months ago suddenly changes once one is running for President that it's officially called a 'flip-flop.'

Ahhh yes, like Obama's been doing..........

I will say that both candidates are guilty of flip-flops during this campaign period.....as do the majority of candidates when they feel that they have to moderate or balance their previously held and expressed views to reach and capture those votes they need and want. Both are guilty of this..and will probably have more changes in their expressed views before this is all over. Sad, but true.
