Fucking liar.

houstonray · 1 year ago

WTF??? He's 'turned to her many times in the past'? What, the last month since he picked her? What, did he need to ask her what she saw in Russia out of her window?

I also love the 'Obama was wrong in Iraq' comment...yeah, sure, um, okay Sen McSame...that's going to go over really well in the next debate.

BRING.
IT.
ON.

But when McCain announced Palin as his running mate, didn't he say he spoke with her once on the phone and met her once in person?

Liar.

WHAT????? You only had heard of Caribou Barbie in July sometime, asshole. This is now gone beyond ludicrous. It's wavering on the edge of some bad never-filmed episode of Twilight Zone.

bamjaya · 1 year ago

In the PAST?

He only met her once! How could he have turned to her many times?

Now he's hallucinating.

woodroad34 · 1 year ago

Well, for him the past is since July/August. He has short term memory loss.

"Once again the question arises: lying McCain or demented McCain?"

He's lying about being demented.

Butch1 · 1 year ago

If, after all the years in office and the huge "experience" he says he has, why would he need to consult an Alaskan Governor when he is supposed to be the authority and knows how to fix everything. He's a pathological liar and doesn't belong near the White House.

troqua · 1 year ago

He's fucking insane. This is where he needs to backed into a corner and asked when, where, what issue, why? Then watch him lash out at the press for gotcha journalism.

TheAngryFag · 1 year ago

Can't it be both? He could be a Pathological Liar and actually believes the stuff he spouts. And I guess he just equated his own foreign policy with being able to see Mexico from his house.

WHAT???

brb915 · 1 year ago

That should be Gwen Ifill's first question to Palin----what was the advice, when did it take place, and what was the end result...............

Ubiquitous · 1 year ago

I thought they'd only met once for 15 minutes before he picked her?

I ask my goldfish sometimes... I expect I get similarly useful answers

Fortunately, I'm not trying to be POTUS

purplegirl · 1 year ago

I was also under the impression that McSame had only met her once before asking her to be his running mate. This definitely should be brought up in the debate!!!

McSame is a Big Fat Demented Liar.

Johnny Mac just loses credibility with these kinds of statement. Keep talking.

scytherius · 1 year ago

Wow. And I thought I would never ever hear anything as scary as Sarah Palin for VP. Guess I was wrong.

Wolfsinger · 1 year ago

Debate on the health of John McCain is serious enough. Cancer is not something anyone can take lightly and I know of no one who would wish it on him or anybody. Regardless of their political views.

Why then is it so hard to shake the dark and admittedly cynical thought that many from John's own party are not eagerly praying away his alleged health woes?

tommytoonz · 1 year ago

I love how McCain is constantly saying how he's proud, very proud of her or if you saw George Stephanopolous' show this weekend how he's happy, very happy to have her on his ticket. He can't stand her! He hates the decision because he was manipulated like a 2 year old into choosing her and he knows she'll largely cost him the race but he's too proud and stubborn to admit he's wrong. Ha!

Butch1 · 1 year ago

Lying of course, he's a pathological liar.

ron071 · 1 year ago

Any semblance of truth has left John McCain. The NPR interview is a picture of desperation which is why McCain will say anything at all regardless of truth, accuracy or sanity. Sad but true.

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

"Wishing it so doesn't make it so", Sen. McCain.
This shows what an empty headed buffoon McCain is.

creditloanguy · 1 year ago

If you Cant Make It, Now It Seems You Can Fake It! I have been in the real estate business for over 30 years! Many Many colleagues have told me about their "secrets" to close the deal in order to make the standard 6 percent commission! Using fake documentation for someone that couldn't qualify under a "normal" loan WAS ENCOURAGED! With Websites like www.FAKEPAYCHECKSTUBS.com out there, it seems like the "hungry" real estate professional used it's services to defraud the Lender and "help" the loan through the pipeline! SIC When is big print going to write about real estates dirty little secret?

Soundboy_jeff_meanie · 1 year ago

dead on John...

one small comment. NOWHERE in Alaska is there a taxi driven by a guy named Ahmed.

they don't even like Eskimos up there. Think, out gay black man in rural Oklahoma.

Happyidiot · 1 year ago

If Palin's world view has improved in this past month, since McCain chose her as his veep...

maybe McCain gave her binoculars.

nwit · 1 year ago

"I can't imagine turning to Senator Obama or Senator Biden cuz they've been wrong, they were wrong about Iraq, wrong about Russia."

Does this mean that as President he would not have advisers that had a different view than his? Very dangerous listening just to people that agree with you!

PatogTX · 1 year ago

As proven by the last 8 years.

twostepcub · 1 year ago

John, I think the more important tack on this latest rant is how much anger and hate he has towards Obama and Biden. It's one thing to be rivals like he is, but he has gradually in this campaign gotten more and more nasty and hateful towards them, and especially Obama, for maybe even challenging what I guess he believes as his "rightful turn" to be president. Pitiful.

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

Hillary and Bill turned hateful too. I don't understand that either.
Hillary has no one but herself to blame for not winning the primary. She voted to give Bush approval for unfettered access to war. Had she not, she would be debating McCain right now.
McCain has the misfortune of having his name associated with the Republican Party and voting lock step with Bush for eight years.

twostepcub · 1 year ago

I dunno, Hillary hasn't been 1/4 as bad as Bill has been. He's definitely the enabler angry one in that household.

I agree, Biden's best hope is to focus on McCain's record - though a jab at Palin once or twice could be helpful. Ask her a question. A non-one-word-answer question.

And even more so, show respect. Even though we all know she ain't the brightest bulb at the Home Depot, she was chosen to co-lead her party. I feel McCain's debate performance was judged abyssmally is BECAUSE he showed no respect whatsoever to Obama, while the opposite held true for Obama.

sukabi1 · 1 year ago

I tend to agree with this, what turned me off from Hillary was a couple of things... her lying and "embellishing" her accomplishments ... (sniper fire -- really was a pathetic, stupid thing to do since EVERYTHING is caught on tape and has been for the past 30 years, especially if you're the First F'n Lady on a "peace" mission) ... and her anger and sense of "entitlement" to the job and general lack of respect for her Dem opponents, particularly Obama...

Biden needs to be "respectful" of Palin and draw out her lack of experience with his own accomplishments and knowledge... the worst thing either Obama or he can do is be loud, angry, disrespectful louts... Leave that to McCain / Palin. Folks are plain TIRED of the bullshit, lying, disrespect that has come from our "leaders" over the last 8 years... they are ready for something positive and hopeful.

MnDem · 1 year ago

I agree. Biden should always refer to her as "Gov. Palin", never Sarah.

And remember who the debate is aimed at. Far right and far left voters have already made up their minds. It's the independent, swing voters who are still looking and deciding. Obama impressed them on Friday - now Biden needs to show that he will be a calm, experienced partner to President Obama in dealing with the problems the country will be facing the next four years.

If Obama's lead continues to grow, McCain and Palin will have to go more and more negative. Usually that works, but I think with McCain it will be seen by swing voters as desperation.

twostepcub · 1 year ago

Amen. Couldn't have said it better.

MnDem · 1 year ago

I think you've got a really good point. Obama was criticized when he said, "John was right" in the debate. But it showed his graciousness in glaring contrast to McCain's nastiness.

Same think with Joe Biden, who often refers to "his friend John". Talks about policy differences without making it personal. With Americans so concerned over the economy, I think they are finally looking for calm leadership over "shoot from the hip" action.

I posted this yesterday, but we have to remember that Joe Biden probably knows more about John McCain's positions over the last 26 years than Gov. Palin ever will. Palin will spout the talking points - Sen. Biden needs to clearly articulate the Obam/Biden plan, while pointing out inconsistencies with the McCain of today with the McCain of yesterday.

sukabi1 · 1 year ago

I've turned to her advice many times in the past ... 3 weeks. You know sometimes an "older" feller like me needs a bit of encouragement and "stimulation" and some "fresh meat" will do the trick. I've asked Sarah how she managed to keep her nosy husband busy in the past when she needed a bit of "R&R" and when his next snowmachine competition is so we'll have some undisturbed "prep time"... / McCain

devlzadvocate · 1 year ago

He turned to her and said, "Should I order the Egg Foo Yung or the Lo Mein? What do you think, Sarah?"

EmGD · 1 year ago

Palin just started using Russian dressing on salads, that combined with the proximity thing has helped her become of of the foremost experts in the world. Of course McCain would turn to her during these time of increased Russian belligerence.

I know a lot of doctors recommend (unofficially) medical marijuana for the elderly, but I think John needs to back off a wee bit. It might help with the paranoia too.

HE JUST MET HER a month ago! "In the past" ????? I guess when you're McCain, every day seems like an eternity.

IAmATVJunkie · 1 year ago

What a lying sack of shit this guy has become.

Are you that John McCain 1998 wasn't captured and replace with some sort of pod person?

Because this posts proves just how out of it he is.

I think he means "many times in the past 20 minutes."

april444 · 1 year ago

We don't really know Sarah Palin yet. Most liberals hope she's dumb, of course, but does that really excuse their hateful attitudes? Why do so many liberals try to win this election by adopting a haughty snear, laughing at her, calling her sexism-drenched words like "air-head," "bimbo," etc? Meanwhile, ACORN quietly goes about its work in Ohio and elsewhere. Forget the economy--we as a nation are seriously in trouble when practices and attitudes like this are so prevalent in the "land of the free."

kenep59 · 1 year ago

I'm VERY UPSET at the fellow who refered to Governor Palin as a "BIMBO." Please...SHOW RESPECT !!!! She's the Governor of Alaska, the proper term would be GIMBO. And, if elected as Vice President then she would become a VIMBO.

I don't mean to split hairs, but please show her the respect that she has earned!

trunative · 1 year ago

Lies, lies, lies!!!! All we have here is Baby Bush junior and the book burner. Somehow, this not so brilliant woman is not who I had in mind for advice on anything: much less a foreign matter, a budget, fair hiring practices, freedom of speech and free press, credit problems, bank forclosures, food for the poor, subsidies for the elderly, medical insurance, or just about anything else a vise president could be asked advise on.

trunative · 1 year ago

P.S. Maybe hooker is a better term than bimbo.

cfantiope · 1 year ago

In the movie "The American President" Michael J. Fox's character says something that never fails to remind me of this election. "America is thirsty for leadership. They are dying for it, and if they can't find it they'll drink the sand instead" (Or some statement to that effect) Are we so used to drinking the sand that we look at Palin and McCain's straight speech as something less real because it lacks an appropriate number of adjectives and polysyllabicates? I found Palin's arguements refreshing in their honesty and no nonsense approach. There are many things that, as a leader, you can fix about yourself, one is education. A good leader is always learning, and I see that desire to better herself in Palin. Biden has had the same ideas for so long, I feel he no longer seeks self improvement. There is one thing a leader can not fix, and that is a lack of care for the people under their command. I look at McCain, and his history in Vietnam, and I see someone who cares so much for others that he will sacrifice everything for them. I don't see that in either Obama or Biden.

Cypress_Green · 1 year ago

Unbelievable! He IS a liar. The age of information and the internet cuts two ways...while we see a lot of "junk" on line, we also have the opportunity to research what they have said. And see interviews or debates that we may have missed. What's that about one thing you are able to fix being your education? I'd prefer my leader to AT LEAST START OUT with a good enough education to run our government. I don't want someone in the VP office who needs a lot of on the job training. All she did last night was sicken me spouting all her down home mantras over and over...the "maveric", "kitchen table", "soccer mom", and "small town , main street " values crap. Most of us don't live in a small town, and guess what, Sarah. We ALSO make this country run.

riverrat45 · 1 year ago

If Mccain has to turn to Palin for foreign policy help this would would surely be screwed if he was elected. What a liar !!!
