McCain showed up, even if he lied again, saying he would be a no-show unless Congress reach some sort of a bailout deal.
They didn't; he did.
McCain even lied about the Dwight Eisenhower letter. Two words into the debate and he LIED.
He freakin’ lied, saying that the second of two letters Ike wrote the night before the invasion of Normandy was a letter of resignation.
It wasn’t.
Can’t that crooked talker tell the truth about anything? Aren’t his people smart enough to fact-check what he says before he says it? Don’t they Google it and find the error in about 30 seconds like everyone else?
Guess not. Their philosophy is if it sounds good, say it. True or not.
And what a stupid thing to lie about; as dumb as lying about recipes. Dumber than lying about his “cross in the dirt” experience while a prisoner of war, which he stole from a Russian.
Even when McCain tells the truth, we can’t believe him, because his “truth” must be based on a lie. He doesn’t seem to know anything else, like truth telling.
My daughter and I thought the debate was a tie, but we have no qualms about accepting the instant polling that said Barack Obama won, even if Pat Buchanan said the "real" results don't usually come in until two days after a debate. But when was ol' Pat right about anything?
I was furious, though, that Obama didn't keep hitting John McCain over the head with his lifetime of never meeting a tax break for the wealthest Americans, a corporate tax loophole or a deregulation he didn't reach a climax over.
Well, maybe in the next debate.
