McCain's biggest lie

"Country first."

That's why McCain picked "Snow Job Barbie" to be his vice president. Because of her obvious qualifications. Not because winning is more important than competence. Country First? That is why McCain has fallen so deep into the muck of half-truths and outright lies. Because only if he wins is the country saved. Country First? That is why he has hermetically sealed off the "Straight Talk Express" with a small army of "handlers," and answers every question with a canned piece of his stump speech.

"Country First" is a political phrase and lie that John McCain tells every day. He wants the brass ring so bad he will do whatever it takes to grab it, he will say anything, he will make this election about Obama's name and not about jobs, he will make it about celebrity (that McCain found in Palin) and not about health care, McCain will change his positions daily and lie about what he said yesterday with that scary smile of his.

"Country First?" Those are the words on his lips. But McCain is saying "Country be damned" with his actions.

Country First is electing a president who will put Americans back to work building energy sources for tomorrow, not fattening the oil companies. That's Obama.

Country First is protecting Americans with a health care system that provides affordable care, not sending profits to drug companies. That is Obama.

Country First is protecting the environment, so Americans can eat fish without mercury, so they can have air they can breathe. That is Obama.

Country First indeed. McCain is George Bush. It's time for a change.
