Today's new McCain ad -- "Tiny," which you can watch
HERE -- crosses a new line into dishonesty, however, beyond whether or not it's actually airing anywhere

This is a dishonest representation of Obama's words.
On May 18, on Pendelton, Oregon, Obama said that "strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, 'We're going to wipe you off the planet.'
Political Punch
McCain is a dirty warmongering liar, but Obama will ultimately prevail!!

You do realize that the site you link to shows not only McCain as a liar, but also Obama and Biden. All with similar links and proof. It amazes me that anyone thinks that one of these men isnt a liar and the others are.

This is a big problem, people want to play this pretend game of "my candidate never lies" and they ignore the actual issues.
