rssMcCain Flip-Flops on Pig Lipstick

In an interview with The Associated Press today in Jacksonville, Fla., Sen. John McCain admitted what every rational person in the country already knows — that Sen. Barack Obama did not call Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a pig.
Did Barack Obama really call Sarah Palin a pig, as a John McCain ad leads people to believe?
‘‘No,’’ McCain said Monday.
The Republican presidential nominee defended the ad anyway, saying Obama ‘‘chooses his words very carefully.’’
The implication: Obama was slyly up to something when he said McCain’s call for change in Washington is ‘‘lipstick on a pig,’’ days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention.
‘‘He’s very eloquent,’’ McCain told The Associated Press and Florida newspapers in an interview, and ‘‘it was the wrong thing to say.’’
If Obama did not call Palin a pig, why would the McCain campaign embark on such a cynical effort to convince voters that he did?
McCain said of Obama’s comment: ‘‘I didn’t like it. So we respond. I think the American people will judge as to whether he and others have treated Governor Palin fairly or not.’’ But he said he won’t let attacks go unanswered.
So that’s how McCain rolls: say something he doesn’t like and find yourself the target of vicious, lying attack ads that feign political correctness and completely distort your comments — and he’ll deny they’re lies until even Karl Rove has to call out of bounds. That’s an interesting definition of honorable you’ve got there, senator.
Also in the interview, McCain deflects a question on whether Palin requested $200 million in earmarks this year and cuts off one about the “Bridge to Nowhere.” Who wants to start placing bets on when McCain stops giving any interviews at all?

I do not care who gets into the White House as long as it's Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The alternative is pathetic. To say the economy is okay; that the War (in Iraq and Afghanistan) is going well; that taxing the rich more and the oil companies is not a good idea; that the unemployment rate is not so bad comparatively speaking; that the housing mortgage debacle is the fault of the poor who couldn't afford to buy homes anyway; that the lobbyists kissing John McCain's backside and sending him tons of money is a good financial investment; that Ms. Palin needs to be in Washington to steer us all in the righteous path to God through better government; that health care for everyone is more whining by the sick; to allow John Boy to save his voice for more lies by employing the usual cast of blonde Republican bimbos to smile on television and tow the Party line, ad nauseum; to tell us that food and gas prices are so high because of “economic variables beyond our control”; and generally foist a lot of hogwash and rubbish upon us is what I call “the proper Republican response”. When confused and intellectually bankrupt, LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH!
Morally, Mr. McCain and his swiftboaters are beyond the pale, and not worth the gunpowder to blow them to hell. I should have told you what I really think huh? Redneck Girl
