ROFLMAO! He really has a big pair!

The MSM will not come down on McCain until this race is much closer than it is now. Most of the accurate polls have Obama up by 12-15%. A landslide is not good for networks that are dependent upon political commentary for ratings and resultant revenue. Watching McCain meander around lost without a coherent message let alone a vision of a future for this country is very painful, but only a few of us are paying attention this early. I live in Arizona so I am somewhat accustomed to a Republican taking credit for others bravery and foresight. After the Keating five scandal McCain took full credit for becoming the champion of reform! Never mind the fact that he was deep, and I mean DEEP, into the money laundry the way he now tells it is that his brush with corruption has made him a true keeper of the faith. We here are waiting to see how he will excuse his second major payoff scandal once the MSM starts to uncover the slimy Don Diamond affairs! Don't expect anything until the polls tighten to the 4-6% range.Unti­l then he has a free pass to tell any lie he wishes to tell and he can tell some WHOPPERS!

[zigzag1]

thank you...keep bringing up Don Diamond and the great federal land swaps he got. Perhaps at least one newsperson will investigate how this major McCain contributor got such great deals.

[Cookie100]

No he doesn't have 'a big pair", it only seems that way. The old man can't remember what the heck he says!!!!

[rosal]

A pair of brain cells? You are right

There is something wrong with McCain! Seriously, there's something wrong with the senator from Arizona. He is either mentally challenged and must speak on topics handed to him by his campaign or he has a tremendous ease with not telling the truth. In either case, it does not bode well for the Republican party because he represents the best of their former candidates for president.

It's a sad day for the Republican Party. I'm actually shedding a tear for them. Unfortunately for them it's a tear of joy.

[rasthedestroyer]

Will sombody, anybody it does'nt matter who. Please tell MSM that Sen. McManiac, is not to be trusted. Please i beg you. Scratch a liar, catch a thief.

[nirek]

McCain makes me think of the guy who talks out of both sides of his mouth, one thing to one person another to someone else. Cannot trust him.

[jeffp26]

Straight talk my behind. This old man lies more than Hillary. Is that possible??????

[harriscrl3]

Where is the media coverage of this? Oops my mistake this is Maverick behavior taking credit for a bill you oppose this is the epitome of the maverick that folks just EAT UP.

Maverick alright - Ford Maverick! Any of those on the road these days?

With the addition of a clause allowing service members to transfer their benefits to family members, McCain now supports the 21st Century Bill of Rights, the proposal to give substantially more benefits to veterans for college after their service in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And he'll support a deal between the White House and House Democrats to fund the war along with $21 billion in domestic spending.

[Kim445588]

Why is this guy allowed to get away with this stuff? I haven't heard one mention of it on the MSM. Could it be that they are trying to slow down what is shaping up to be a landslide, to keep ratings up?? That would be a real shock.

[KBAR]

It could be that the bill that passed was DIFFERENT for the first bill.

[paulfromportland]

Yeah, kind of sad - That charge up San Juan Hill must have taken a lot out him - But, trying to "Remember the Maine" kind of ties up one's brain cells.

[thundermummy]

"San Juan Hill"? You are too generous, more like Bunker Hill.

[jcwtts1]

I can't believe the chutzpa of this guy. I simply can't believe it. He an O fought about this publically­.McCain had a snit fit when O called him out about not supporting it on the SENATE FLOOR for the love of mike. How can he simply act like he voted for it???????? Where is the MSM on this where is everyone this is insane.... I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole.

John McCain did not vote on the G.I. Bill "which he opposed", he didn't vote on the equal pay bill "the one he opposed", he did not vote on the war supplement, he has not voted on anything since April. He has voiced his opposition to all of these things but show up to vote lord no. You know I've got to go to Canada, I've gotta go to Mexico, oh and one more trip to Columbia. This man is ridiculous and an embarassment. Here we go America, imagine it's Jan 20th and McCain has managed to win and we and the rest of the world are listening to him give his first speech. Um, I hear memories playing back in my head oh sh** he is worse than Bush. Imagine listening and being embarassed for another four years of McCain talking. One thing for sure we know he would probably tell the Pope..dude that was awsome.

[TullyMars]

McCain is relying on most Americans not being informed. His base isn't educated on the facts and have a passing interest in most issues. Its how they (Republicans) get elected every time.

[armadillious2002]

This is a major flip flop and should be brought to the front. Obama and all Dems should jump on this with both feet then maybe the press will give it a little coverage. Letting the lying repubs get away with crap like this is what got us into the mess we are in today. This should be brought up in every debate and hammered home to Americans and our troops.

[Pquilson]

Nothing new here, move along, move along.
Politicians have been doing this forever, including Obama.
If something passes that is good during their term of office, they take credit for it, whether they actually voted for it or not.

[southafrica4obama]

This should be top news. He opposited this important Bill. Now he thinks he voted for it (losing bearings). He should be called to explain.

[KBAR]

No. He opposed the FIRST bill, not this bill.

[Leota2]

Actually--it was this one.
