McCain is ALL Lies

This was a response (that took me forever to write on 7/30) to a blogger that accused me of being "childishly invective" in my post. It was hyperbolic, I fully admit, but childish? I don't think so. Anyway, I'll let you decide. Here's my original post:

McCain putting his country first? Really?

Was McCain putting his country first when he walked in the market square of Iraq and sought to deceive by claiming that "We went to the market and were just really warmly welcomed I bought five rugs for five bucks," when in reality he was accompanied by 100 soldiers, 3 Blackhawks, and 2 Apache gunner ships?

Was McCain putting his country first when he voted AGAINST having waterboarding designated as torture; knowing full well that the more brutal we are in our interrogation tactics, the more risk our military takes on if one of our beloved soldiers is captured?

Was he putting his country first when he votes against expanding the GI bill, limiting the educational opportunities for our brave soldiers?

McCain is all lies.

He distances himself from Bush because he has to; he talks environment because he has to; he caves to the religious right because he has to; he has lobbyists leading his way because he has to; he voted against water-boarding being designated as torture because he had to; he gave Bush a hug awhile back because he had to; he opposes pro choice because he had to; and he embraces the Bush/Cheney policies because he has to--he has to, to get in the running for the new czar of Constitutional erosion. His principles are as shallow rooted as his sentences are cogent. During the first storm that America has to endure--like the storm of debate that comes with putting our house in order and re-establishing our constitutional rights--his principles will topple in the direction of the moneyed interests. That would in fact be a third Bush term.

McCain puts his love of power and money over every thing he does, which is evidenced by his actions. From abandoning his ailing wife to sucking up to the religious right—he's all lies.

He raked me over the coals for that post, basically calling for evidence. This was my responce to his accusations:

McCain is all lies:

"The political tactics of division and slander are not our values.They are corrupting influences on religion and politics and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country." John McCain 2000

He changed his tune, BECAUSE HE HAD TO.

McCain went on to call Jerry Farwell an agent of intolerance. He changed his tune, BECAUSE HE HAD TO.

2005 McCain presented anti-torture legislation. His rationale is that the information acquired during these types of interrogations is suspect and not reliable. He evidences his own experiences. He now supports torture, not because he believes that we will obtain any better information, but BECAUSE HE HAS TO PANDER TO BUSH.

"I don't believe it's loyal to suggest that the Republican Party cannot stand on its own feet and fight for public opinion without six and seven figure contributions from people with interests before government." McCain 2000

He lied about oil rigs being safe during hurricanes and he supported new offshore drilling. He received over a half million dollars for his campaign. Apparently he needs six and seven figure contributions and he does need to pander to an industry that is gushing with cash while Americans pay over $4.00 a gallon prices. And do not even lie about this bringing gas prices down. That industry has 68 millions of acres of land that it has not drilled. It is pure and unabashed greed. John McCain caves to it BECAUSE HE HAS TO.

Constitutional Rights:
September 19, 2007, 10:47 AM, McCain votes against the restoration of Habeas Corpus.

I have endured the self-righteous slime of the Corrupticans for many a year now and am fed up.

Corrupticans cannot conceal,

The crimes that their past deeds reveal,

They can't stand the facts,

That f-up their tracks,

Allowing our country to heal.
