McCain and Romney Both Bold Face Lying and Saying Anything To Get Elected

January 29th, 2008

McCain is lying about the Romney quote on timetables in Iraq, and Romney is lying in claiming McCain changed his position about the Bush tax cuts. I don’t think either one of them believes what they are saying, as it is not possible to be that dense unless you’re a lobotomized ape.

McCain’s position on the Bush tax cuts is that he didn’t agree with them because as a matter of principle that if you cut taxes you restrain spending to match those cuts, which is actually a true, classic conservative position; as opposed to what these ‘cut tax and spend’ neo-cons do.

But he is not for removing tax cuts now that they’ve been enacted because that would constitute an effective tax hike, and that instead he still wants to do the restrain spending part that was never done. A completely consistent position that rotates around basic classic conservative principles; yet Romney likes to say that he’s changing his position on the tax cuts because he doesn’t want to lift them now that they’re in place.

It’s clear to see how Romney wouldn’t understand a principle though, seeing as he has absolutely no principles. Romney believes in nothing except what will get him elected. He’s the shadiest, most dishonest, most duplicitous person on the national political scene. Romney is exacting, and he is cold. So cold that he makes Hillary Clinton seem warm and genuine by comparison; and the Clintons were the most duplicitous political figures on the national scene until Romney came along to replace them. Romney is much like a Republican Bill Clinton; self assured, self important, blind ambition, and unendingly duplicitous.

If Massachusetts Senator Kerry was a flip flopper, than the former Massachusetts Governor is a flip flopper on steroids. It is abundantly clear that his position on every issue is whatever position will get him elected in the particular campaign he’s running in at the time; as the following video demonstrates. He was practically running to the left of Ted Kennedy in 94 for the senate.

On the other hand McCain went out of his way to find a Romney quote from April in order to attack Romney on the national security issue because that’s McCain’s strength, and he’s desperate to win the ‘winner take all’ 57 delegates Florida Primary.

Romney clearly stated in the disputed interview that between the U.S. president and Iraqi Prime Minister that there should be private timetables and miles stones to set achievement goals; which is absolutely what your supposed to do with anything in order to have measurable of progress and so forth; but that it should not be a publicized for the insurgents or Al-Quadi to know and lye in wait. A position completely consistent with McCain’s and most other republicans. And also he did not say, as McCain claims, that there should be a date certain for with draw, or take a position that lines up with most democrats.

This article gives more detail to the flap. And oh, by the way, McCain was talking benchmarks and withdrawing himself last year.

McCain’s own Flip Flopping:

These two forked tongue, double talking, liars are the best that the republican party has to offer. Not that the democrats are a sweet bowl of jelly beans without blot; but my goodness, there’s little consistent or honest about either one of these guys.

McCain has told one truth recently though; watch this hilarious video on how Romney has consistently taken both sides of every issue. It’s rare to see a full frontal, sarcastic attack like that coming straight from the candidate; especially one that’s true as the above demonstrates that they’re often not.
