McCain Makes Stuff Up
By Robert Parry
June 12, 2008

For years now, the U.S. political press corps has traveled with John McCain on his “Straight Talk Express,” buying into his image as a paragon of truth-telling. But the real truth is that McCain routinely makes stuff up, as he did on June 11 in lying about Barack Obama’s “bitter” comment.

During a political talk in Philadelphia, McCain claimed that Obama had described “bitter” small-town voters as clinging to religion or “the Constitution” – when the second item in Obama’s comment actually was “guns.”

But the Arizona senator didn’t stop with a simple word substitution. He added that he will tell these voters that “they have trust and support the Constitution of the United States because they have optimism and hope. … That’s what America’s all about.”

1. Barack Obama can recite the constitution from memory

After teaching it for 10 years. He probably also has all the landmark decisions by the Supreme Court in that wonderful noodle of his.

McCain couldn't name the gist of the first 10 amendments if he was given a cheat sheet.

2. Republicans have nothing positive to share...so they resort to nit picking

This is Classic BULLYISM...the Target is Obama....they will say anything to disparge the man....Read Allen Raymonds Book HOW TO RIG AN ELECTION,,,DIG DIRT and use it...if ya can't find dirt...make it up...

3. McCain is rather simple minded, he will run his campain on "Sound Bites"

He and his folks will continously throw out simple, easy to use prhases to promote his run for office.

I like the ones like:

100 more years of war

When the troops come home, they don't matter
