Anybody who watched 20 or so minutes of his sitdown with Rick Warren and who's got more than 2 brain cells to rub together knows that McOLD is a jumbled mess of incoherence.
He lied about being in a cone of silence. Link to the proof.
He plagiarized the hell outta the cross in the sand story. Out and out PLAGIARISM McCain Campaign! Lying wasn't bad enough for your candidate. I guess you guys figured since Solzhenitsyn is dead, nobody'd know if he lifted one little story right from him. The GOP is nothing but a gang of thieves, scared thieves at that. Make up shit as you go along. Link to the proof. Oh yeah, I've read Solzhenitsyn, too. I didn't remember this particular story, but thanks to lots of others out there whose mental cobwebs aren't as thick as mine.
And then there's the utter incoherence of his response to the what's your definition of rich question. It's a long excerpt, but worth reading unless you actually caught him blathering this nonsense on the tube over the weekend.
“Some of the richest people I’ve ever known in my life are the most unhappy. I think that rich is — should be defined by a home, a good job and education and the ability to hand to our children a more prosperous and safer world than the one that we inherited. I don’t want to take any money from the rich. I want everybody to get rich. I don’t believe in class warfare or redistribution of the wealth. But I can tell you for example there are small businessmen and women who are working 16 hours a day, seven days a week that some people would classify as, quote, ‘rich,’ my friends, who want to raise their taxes and raise their payroll taxes. Let’s have — keep taxes low. Let’s give every family in America a $7,000 tax credit for every child they have. Let’s give them a $5,000 refundable tax credit to go out and get the health insurance of their choice. Let’s not have the government take over the health care system in America.
“So I think if you’re just talking about income, how about $5 million. But seriously, I don’t think you can — I don’t think, seriously that — the point is that I’m trying to make here seriously — and I’m sure that comment will be distorted, but the point is — the point is — the point is that we want to keep people’s taxes low and increase revenues. And my friend, it was not taxes that mattered in America in the last several years. It was spending. Spending got completely out of control. We spent money in a way that mortgaged our kids futures. My friends, we spent $3 million of your money to study the DNA of bears in Montana. Now I don’t know if that was a paternity issue or a criminal issue, but the point is — but the point is it was $3 million of your money. It was your money. “And you know, we laugh about it, but we cry and we should cry because the Congress is supposed to be careful stewards of your tax dollars. so what did they just do in the middle of an energy crisis when in California we are paying $4 a gallon for gas, went on vacation for five weeks. I guarantee you, two things they never miss, a pay raise and a vacation. And we should stop that and call them back and not raise your taxes. We should not and cannot raise taxes in tough economic times. So it doesn’t matter really what my definition of rich is because I don’t want to raise anybody’s taxes.”
Say whaaaa???
I'm seeing some stirrings in the blogosphere about McBush's performance over the weekend and I'm guess it's not complimentary stirrings. Although nobody in the media ever really criticizes the old man - since he's a POW and all. God forbid anybody criticizes McInsane 'cuz he's a POW. McPOW can't handle the truth. Guess McPOW can't handle being told he fucked up. Guess McPOW is just a pussy with a purple heart.
He'll get away with lying yet again, but it won't win him or his party the election this time.
