More McCain Of The Moment - So Which is it?
Face it folks, the man is one of two things, too old and feeble minded to be president or just flat out a liar. Anyone who questions his mental faculties is immediately attacked for b?inging up “The Age Issue”, WTF he brought it up himself in 2000.
So if we have to rule out age and failing memory as the reason for the constant factual mistakes regarding his own record, we then can only conclude the man is a bold faced liar.
Think Progress gives us another example:
Yesterday, the Washington Times noted that McCain also claimed he supported the 1986 Immigration Reform Act, legislation long lambasted by conservatives as an “amnesty” bill:
[I]n 1986, we passed a law and said we would secure the borders and gave amnesty to a couple — three million people. I supported that legislation way back then.
In fact, McCain voted against this legislation. As the Times explained, McCain was a vocal opponent of this bill:
The Arizona Republic newspaper in 1986 reported that he had called the bill racist and quoted him as saying the bill’s requirements for employers to verify workers “would institutionalize discrimination.” He said employers would refuse to hire Hispanics to avoid running afoul of the law.
