Calling McCain On His Lies

By The Daily Dish

McCain may not care if his lies get more and more disgusting. But some are noticing. Here's the St Petersburg Times' editorial today:

McCain's straight talk has become a toxic mix of lies and double-speak. It is leaving a permanent stain on his reputation for integrity, and it is a short-term strategy that eventually will backfire with the very types of independent-thinking voters that were so attracted to him.

You can look through my entire archives and columns. I always respected McCain, even when I disagreed with him. I made him my close second pick to Ron Paul in the primaries. I backed him in 2000. I have chatted and spent time with him and always admired him. No more. His actions and words in the last month have been despicable.
