This should come as no surprise and is doesn't to me as well. Politicians bend the facts when on the campaign trail. Many of them do it as a result of not clearly understanding an issue, misunderstanding an opponents position, and sometimes they do it fully knowing what they are doing.
This did come to some surprise to me. That is McCain's blatant lie. Romney never proposed, was for, or suggested that we set timetables for withdrawal in Iraq. McCain knows this and so does everyone else. Anyone who heard Romney's remarks knows this for sure!
Why should I be so upset at a regular tactic used by candidates in an election campaign. I'll tell you why. McCain is the one running on honer. He promotes his "honor" when ever he gets the chance. His surrogates promote McCain's "honor" every chance they get as well. That is why it is so disgusting what McCain has done. He has tarnished what ever honor he had forever. He has crossed the line and made a deal with the devil.
I feel so strongly about this that I believe anyone who goes along with McCain's lie on this has lost their honor as well. Period!
