Thread: McCainpedia says: 56 lies!

John McCain may be trying to sell himself as a "maverick" and a "straight talker" who will tell the truth no matter the consequences, but independent, non-partisan watchdog groups aren't buying it. But, since he wrapped up his party's nomination, John McCain has offered more of the same false attacks and smears. To date, independent, nonpartisan fact checkers have published more than 50 fact checks debunking John McCain's lies and distortions.
To hold John McCain accountable to his own standard, the Democratic National Committee will count and chronicle the lies here on the McCainPedia's "Count the Lies" page.

Go Walnuts go!

Edit: Looks like CNN is on board, too. http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/0...-campaign-lie/

now we're cookin'. the dems need to keep pushing this. frankly i think this is going to be a major problem for mccain when the debates hit. its easy to put out an ad full of lies when theres no quick way to refute them. but with obama standing 10 feet away, he's not going to be able to get away with this.

This just in!! All politicians lie. I read a list not too long ago that had Obama at 123 lies.

Give me a minute to find it.

McCain lie threads don't seem to get traction. Its not that he's not lying but the bar is so low nobody cares. A quick check on factcheck.org and most of the links on the opening page are citations refuting something said by the McCain Campaign. McCain has managed to out
Bush even Bush. It's important we continue to call them on every lie.

In the interests of full disclosure, sometimes I just get tired of reading the thread list and seeing:

It's probably something like this. There are a lot out there.
