Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Friday defended two debunked television ads attacking Democrat Barack Obama and claimed erroneously that running mate Sarah Palin never sought money for lawmakers' pet projects as Alaska governor. Palin has sought nearly $200 million in earmarks this year alone.

McCain made the comments during a feisty grilling on ABC's "The View," where the panel of female hosts pressed him on Palin's religious views, his position on abortion rights and whether he had traded in his maverick ways to placate conservatives. ...

1. Both, the Geezer and his fundie Barbierella, are puppets of you-know-who.

Only in Amerika could these flunkies even be trotted out.

2. Is John losing it. Politics aside, he may be having a long panic attack

He´s old, he´s had cancer, his wife looks like Skeletor, and he has the son´s of satin telling how to live his life.

3. I think he just lied.

He lies a lot now.

4. fumbles,fumbles,fumbles

I can think of a better word-Lies,Lies,Lies!

5. Did he do this on the view?

[K8-EEE]

6. Stretches, fumbles, gaffes, for God's sake they're LYING!

Only entertainment shows like the View & Daily Show and Bill Maher press these people on anything, the "librul media" (LOL) just lets them lie their asses off constantly! I'm so sick of it!

7. John McCain has trouble remembering things, and often seems confused.

But, hey... I'm sure he'd do fine as president, on his good days. Plus, Sarah Palin would be right by his side, ready to take charge.

:hide:

9. Jesus Christ, It's Reagan All Over Again

Holy hemorrhaging fuck.

Does that mean pastels and big hair are going to make a comeback, too?

8. He did not "fumble" lying is their strategy.

Keep telling the same lie, over and over, and it magically becomes "truth-like".

[lumpy]

15. McCain is a fumbling liar.

He has every sign of Old Timers disease and lies to further his ambition to be the biggest Hero of all time.

[Politicalboi]

10. Should say LIED!

Not to change the subject but I was just at Huffinton Post and someone posted another reason Scara Palin didn't want to pay for rape kits. To force poor women into not finding their assailant and maybe to have a baby. It lowers the statistics on rape too if they can't afford the kit.

11. Isn't that sweet?

Now we're calling the lies "fumbles." You know, like a careless football player or something.

[Democat]

12. McCain never lies when he lies

He just "fumbles the truth" according to the mainstream media.

[Bake]

13. I wonder what else he might fumble in the White House.

I hope we never have the opportunity to find out.

14. If he fails to vet other appointees, like Palin, he's going to spend his

presidency defending the undefensible.
