Does any one remember McCain lying this much in 2008?

1. No. He did some pretty heavy-duty spinning,

but I don't recall that he flat-out lied about anything significant (although his running mate, She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, was pretty good at it).

5. +1 nt

2. McCain, while crazy, is a stand-up dude

Romney, OTOH, is a total piece of sh*t that even his own party can't stand.

[DonViejo]

6. A "stand up dude" doesn't accuse the President

of crimes "worse than Watergate" in his handling of the Benghazi attack

[Alekei_Firebird]

14. McCain's kinda gone off the deep end since 2008

But overall, he's been one of the more admirable Republicans over the years.

[hogwyld]

26. Hate McCain's politics

but I have to admit that I admired that town hall where he shut that tea bagger down after she said he was a gasp moslim...

[Alekei_Firebird]

36. She called Obama an "Arab"

McCain should've told her that he wasn't, that there wasn't anything wrong with it if he were indeed an Arab, and that he was a good family man.

McCain skipped that middle part, but I still give him props for at least trying. Romney would never ever do that.

3. No politician has ever lied this much

and I dare Willard to deny it

[ProudProgressiveNow]

7. He'd just lie about it! nt

[Ned_Devine]

8. That's what I was thinking

I've never seen such flagrant flat out lies by any one before.

[WI_DEM]

4. Not even Tricky Dick lied this much in '60, '68 & '72

[PlanetBev]

9. No, Romney is special

He is a liar in a class by all by himself.

[Binders Keepers]

10. Romney is head and shoulders above the rest.

Followed politics since '76. No one is in Romney's league for lying. Not even close.

[Ned_Devine]

11. I can't wait to see how historians write about this guy when it's all over

It's like he doesn't realize we have taped evidence of his contradictory statements...from two days ago

[underpants]

12. No -- McCain was say "No no no we all know she is nuts"

[elleng]

13. No, he's not a lier, he's wrong, misstates, and does other b.s.,

but NOTHING like rmoney.

[cleduc]

15. Nope. Not remotely close.

Never seen a more dishonest campaign than Romney's nor anything close to it on that level and I was around for JFK

[Thrill]

16. I can't recall any politician lying this much. But the media is the blame

If they called them on this shit. They would stop

[aletier_v]

17. I don't remember anyone ever lying this much, ever.

And I'm including my marriage and divorce.

31. Lol

18. No, but McCain tried to put Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency.

That was, to me, scarier than Romney/Ryan.

[Ned_Devine]

19. I disagree. Romney/Ryan may be scarier because people believe them

[NYC Liberal]

20. The way I look at it is like this:

Romney/Ryan is like an adult with a loaded gun looking for a target.
McCain/Palin was like a toddler with a loaded gun swinging it around recklessly.

Both are dangerous. Both should be avoided. But the adult can be reasoned with or pressured and they will know when they have to give up (even if it takes a lot). The toddler has no sense of reason and cannot be talked down.

[lastlib]

22. Romney/Ryan: Nixon/Agnew with better hairdos

[lastlib]

21. No, but in 2004, Bush/Cheney lied as much on Sept. 27th...and 28th....

...and 29th...and 30th...............you get the picture....

[pointsoflight]

23. This is unprecedented, and a complicit media is to blame.

They wouldn't be doing it unless they thought they could get away with it.

[LisaL]

24. No. Absolutely not.

Romney takes the cake here.

[DollarBillHines]

25. Grumpy is not a Mormon.

Mormons believe in Lying for the Lord (Google it).

[ejbr]

27. Yes, but that's only because he never slept standing up. n/t

[DFW]

28. Who knows?

Sarah Palin was doing so much of it, no one really remembers WHAT the hell McCain was saying.

[union_maid]

29. I don't recall too many of them lying this much n/t

[Zynx]

30. No. No one at this level of politics ever has.

[JI7]

32. no, McCain was openly a War Monger so THey focused on the Issues, he wanted more war

Obama didn't. plus he tried to keep the crazies in line.

[Myrina]

33. Anyone notice how shitty Robme looked today?

Prince Charmless apparently hasn't been getting his beauty sleep ... he's got big ol bags under his eyes, his nose was red and the rest of his complexion all blotchy, and his hair looked like a greasy mess during the Ohio event today.

See what just a couple weeks' work does to the idle rich? He sure as heck isn't cut out for 20-hour-a-day-Presidentin' ....

[Firebirds01]

34. McCain

Spent the whole campaign pissed about who they made him take on as VP.

[budkin]

35. No way

[Big Hit Buda]

37. Absolutely Not!

Mitt has lied more and is way crazier than McCain
