Thanks for making this video. It's important to see the either deliberate lying for the sake of winning debate or just flimsy memory, which is to say "not capable of the presidency." So sad. Like it was said, "after eight years of lies, we deserve better."

A fiscal conservative McCain is NOT. He thinks he can pay for a 100 year war on borrowed money and continue the tax breaks for the wealthy in a time of war. He is dilusional. McCain can't remember what he said or anyone else said for any length of time. I loved the Meet the Press interview with Kerry and MCCain and Talking Points Memo replay of the actual conversations that McCain had totally mixed up or reversed. He is not mentally competent to be Pres. What a scarry thought. Can you even begin to imagine how he could function under the load and stress of Pres. when now on the campaign trail he is continually contradicting himself.

Matt and Steve (1 month ago): "McCain gets a 95% approval rating from Citizens Against Government Waste, 85% approval rating from American Taxpayers Union.... He is a fiscal hawk!! He is a real hero against earmarks and pork"

"But you still have not explained how a fiscal hawk is going to pay for this war. McCain's "Guns and tax cuts" is just as fiscally irresponsible as Johnson's "Guns and butter" of the the 1960's. I think a true fiscal conservative such as Barry Goldwater would be highly upset at the nonsense going on in Washington today"

I heard an interview the other day with the author of a University study of the economics of the Iraq War and she said that 100% (ONE HUNDRED PERCENT) of the cost of the Iraq War is BORROWED money, most of it BORROWED from CHINA, JAPAN and THE MIDDLE EAST. Now, some sane person please tell me how can this possibly be fiscally conservative policy. Not only is it NOT conservative, it is INSANE. We are mortgaging our children's (and OUR) future!

McCain is a puppet just like Bush - THAT is why republicans/neo-cons want him.

To me this isn't about McCain having the right or wrong thoughts on how to do things in office. This is more a question of if would want a president who lies to the media and, clearly to himself, about documented facts that he of course should be able to remember. All just to win one debate. Had he been just a bit humble he would of course at least say "I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure about the exact qoute" or "yes I/he said that but..." After eight years of lies, we deserve better.

Who would be McCains's running mate? He probably will have trouble remembering how to button his shirt in his 3rd year of office since he will be heading toward the age of 75.

......hmmm, really, what I want to know is how you think our country could / would operate in a Libertarian way, and I mean in the face of reality, not some pie in the sky belief?

I agree Steve Barry Goldwater would be extremely upset!!

I don't think McCain is anywhere in the shadow of Barry, but compared to the other options???

I love Ron paul and gave him $200. But, he has no shot! : ( McCain is a fiscal conservative and has one of the highest ratings from several anti-tax and spend groups. RonPaul is only slightly better.

McCain said 100 years and since he is a "straight talker" I took him at his word. But you still have not explained how a fiscal hawk is going to pay for this war. McCain's "Guns and tax cuts" is just as fiscally irresponsible as Johnson's "Guns and butter" of the the 1960's. I think a true fiscal conservative such as Barry Goldwater would be highly upset at the nonsense going on in Washington today.

100 years!!!!! You actually take that literal?? Come on!! John McCain gets a 95% approval rating from Citizens Against Government Waste, 85% approval rating from American Taxpayers Union.... He is a fiscal hawk!! He is a real hero against earmarks and pork.

If McCain is not going to be a big spender how will he pay for his 100 year occupation of Iraq? Maybe he can hold a telethon or just borrow more money from communist China. The so called national security expert said that the invasion would be "easy". And how are we more secure when we are borrowing money from China to finance the war? Our tax dollars are paying the interest on this debt. And the Chinese actually have weapons of mass destruction. He wants to bomb Iran because they might make nuclear weapons in the future and sees no problem with borrowing money from a country that already has them. Please tell me why he is so great?

John McCain is a great man!! Both progressives and Conservatives are in agreement he has integrity and honor. So to read the bashing is gross!!

The war may have been wrong blah blah blah.... yes we ALL want it to end. But it is DONE, right or wrong we are there, and McCain is right we cannot cut and run.

I love it the ultra Left and the ultra right hate McCain. Now for certain I know he is the man for the job.

John McCain scares the Democrats and Republicans!

The politicians in Washington both Democrat and Republican are scared to death of John because they know he will not be a big spender and that all their earmarks and special interest money will be gone!!

McCain 2008!

Thank you Virginia in Australia (see below). Your change in leadership in Australia is a sign of global changes to come. War brings us all down, and war-monger leaders are cowards who see violence as the solution to all problems. George Bush is the quintessential model of this kind of bully. He has virtually no diplomacy skills; he DOES have the ability to use humor to disarm people, but his posture is always one of control. His massive inferiority complex drives him to use agression and violence. He is a megalomaniac. When we reduce others, we reduce ourselves. It is time to stop this cycle, lay down our weapons, and work together to build each other up.

This is devastating stuff. McCain is delusional on the subject of Iraq.

Did you not catch any of that, MJ? Your man-crush McCain seeks continuity in debt-building. We don't have the capital to fund our military ops anymore. We're over-extended, under-funded and misled. You're correct when you say "It is all about Money," because it is. McCain is no exclusion to the rule.

Go John McCain!! The debt building, earmark cowards are scared to death of Mr. McCain. Look out special interest! I love seeing all the Hollywood elite, only able to donate $2300 each, instead of the $100,000's!! The lobbyist is Washington know that John is going to be hard to push over on spending, why do you think the Washington establishment both Democrat and Republican alike don't like John McCain. It is all about Money!! God Bless John McCain.

As an Australian, I beg all americans to please think about who you vote for. We came to our senses over here and got rid of the war monger Howard and his facist cronies, it's about time to vote for a real leader with initative, imagination, common sense and an understanding of common good. Also get of your bums and vote. You're lucky you have the ability to do so.

Nicely done. May I add that another perhaps easier to follow (for the average joe) would be to watch the speech he gave at the 2004 RNC. He wove terrorist & Sadam together to convince ppl Sadam was behind 9/11. And you know, to this day 20% of the ppl think he was.
All we have to do is play it in the order he gave it - minus the fluff and if I had any editing xp I'd do it.

During the 2004 RNC, I kept score of McCain's speech. Here it is:

9-11 / this war / WMDs / 9-11 / War / War / 9-11 / Afganistan / Saddam = grave threat / terrorists / Saddam / 9-11 / war / 9-11 / a war.

Well crafted argument eh? Only war I ever hear about is in Iraq. He purposefully blended 9-11, the war and Saddam. More brainwashing to make us believe - Saddam is a terrorist that caused 9-11 and terrorists "fight to express a hatred for all that is good in humanity".

Who wants a 'Brainwasher-in-Chief'?

McCain pitches his "Straight Talk Express" but is a repeated liar. He went to Iraq. Was escorted by US military guards. He wore a bullet-proof vest. US snipers were placed on surrounding roofs. US tanks blocked the entire area...AND...US 'copters were flying above.

McCain came back and blatantly lied to the American people by saying that Iraq was peaceful and his visit was like taking a walk to any market place in the USA on a bright sunny day.

These would make succinct and devastating TV adds for the Democrats running for President. Why not use them???

McCaine proves himself to be a lier and almost senile in his thought processes.

Wow! I need to get involved with the democratic presidential campaign. The Republicans want to put another delusional person in the office of the President.
