"It seems to me that Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign," John McCain said in a town hall meeting in New Hampshire on July 22. Even Joe Scarborough, the Conservative co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," thought that accusation was a little over-the-top. Here are some other over-the-top accusations.
1. Senator McCain likes to kill American troops because he wants to stay in Iraq for longer than Senator Obama.
2. Senator McCain hates Muslims because he supports the war in Iraq.
3. Senator McCain is a closet Democrat because he believes that climate change exists.
4. Senator McCain doesn't want to find Osama bin Laden because he doesn't want to withdraw from Iraq and put troops in Afghanistan.
5. Senator McCain likes war because he fought in one.
All of those are overexaggerations, distortions, and flat out lies, much like Senator McCain's suggestion that Obama would rather win an election than the war. Senator McCain, listen to yourself. You sound like a candidate begging for attention, begging for coverage, because the other guy is so much better than you. Senator, stop the lies and distortions. It's your only chance at winning.
