McCain Continues To Lie On Romney

January 31st, 2008

Though roundly excoriated by the press before last nights GOP debate; McCain continued on his false attack about Mitt Romney wanting to set a time table to withdrawal.

It’s inexplicable. One can half understand why he put this out there in the first place. He did it Sunday, two days before the primary vote in “winner takes all” Florida. Throwing things out there against your opponent, whether true or not, just to get temporary bad press against them at a strategic moment is an old campaign tactic; though doing so with such a blatant lie is still rather brazen.

But since it’s not true, it’s on tape and everyone can see its not true, and being that that dog didn’t fly, as everyone is saying McCain was at best mischaracterizing Romney’s statement; you’d think he’s layoff of it and let it go since he already achieved his strategic objective of winning Florida. But no, some how the old guy has taken leave of his senses and is picking a fight that is nothing but bad pr for himself.

I guess this shows his lack of understanding for the economy because if he had some financial training he’d understand the law of diminishing return. I guess he’s out of touch and encapsulated in his own ideological bubble that he doesn’t see that he’s shooting himself in the foot.

Here is the actual interview McCain parses and then says Romney’s position is the opposite of what he said:

This could be McCain’s undoing. He’s making himself out to be as big a liar as Romney, who is a pathological liar; which takes away McCains edge for people who have a problem with that about Romney. As well as the fact that many conservatives who have been holding their nose to vote for him; may now be to discussed with him to even do that any more.

    Yeah, but normally they at least try to fool somebody.

    Even after days of being told by everyone, uhhh, you’re not fooling us; he came back just as aggressive. I’ve never seen that before.
