  • McCain is a bold face liar. Two examples: In 2006, McCain funneled $10 million to the University of Arizona for an academic center named after William Rehnquist. The National Taxpayers Union, a traditional McCain ally, questioned why the senator was making federal taxpayers foot the bill for the center.

    In 2003, McCain also slipped $14.3 million into a defense appropriations bill to

    create a buffer zone around Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

    McCain is a porker. And a liar.

  • I don't think he blinked his eyes enough.

  • ...lies..a comin...

  • Proof that he's lying: thinkprogress dot org/2008/01/06/mccain-earmark

  • True. But his claim that McCain lied should be enough to make you go investigate whether or not McCain has ever taken an earmark.

  • If the point of this video is that John McCain is lying, then you should present examples which contradict what he's saying.

  • cut the spending is code for fuck the poor. he'll cut the spending on everything unless its a killing machine. then you get all the pork you want.
