McCain's Straight Lies

The fact that McCain makes short, blunt statements does not make him a straight-talker.

There are short, blunt lies --

Being a war hero is not a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card. And becoming President of the United States is not a matter of rewarding an individual for past services.

Super Tuesday may be the voters' last chance to bring the so-called "straight talk express" to a screeching halt.

It should be called the "sell-out express" because McCain has sold out not only with amnesty for illegal aliens but also sold out the First Amendment with the McCain-Feingold "campaign finance reform" bill that was supposed to take big money out of political campaigns, but blatantly has not.

McCain also sold out on judicial nominations by making his own side deal with the Democrats, undercutting Republican attempts to stop Democrats from filibustering judicial nominees instead of voting them up or down.

This is quite a record for someone running as a straight talker.

We need to post these stories on sites that the McCain & Huckabee supporters visit. Those of us who are for Mitt know how bad McCain & Huckabee are for America. We need to get our views into their domain and convert them over to Mitt!
