Political Jackass

On a recent stop in McCain’s “Say Anything” tour, John stated that Iraq is “a peaceful and stable country now.” How do people still support this man? It’s apparent he will say or do anything to be President, no matter how much of it he makes up. He can’t win on issues so he attacks Obama, linking him to terrorists, lies about his own record, his VP candidate’s records, Obama’s records, his campaign manager’s business dealings. He is a man surrounded by lies and scandal and he wants your vote. Unbelievable. From Time Magazine:

Today, Time Magazine published an interview with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that it conducted aboard McCain’s campaign airplane. Reporters James Carney and Michael Scherer described McCain as “prickly” and “at times, abrasive” during the course of the interview.

Carney and Scherer noted to McCain that the Iraqi government is calling for a deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq even though McCain’s previously stated definition of “victory” — “a peaceful, stable, prosperous democratic state” — has not been achieved. The Arizona senator dismissed their characterization of the situation, saying that Iraq is “a peaceful and stable country now”:

Q: Some members of the [Iraqi] government have made it clear in the last month or two that they might want to withdraw before complete stability, before totally secure borders, before some of the completeness of victory as you described. Is there any change, do you think there is some wiggle room there because what you described with Petraeus was an end point that was rather complete — a peaceful, stable country.

MCCAIN: Its a peaceful and stable country now.

John McCain is a liar and a disgrace.
