That's Mitt Romney calling McCain out on lying, following on Karl Rove's assertions that McCain has "gone too far." This is starting to look coordinated, and Rove doesn't speak out of turn for no reason. Either there are some very angry conservative insiders knifing McCain or this is part of some dramatic PR ploy in which McCain will somehow be portrayed as a hero.

I don't know, it's a little spooky.

Update: My mistake. This video is from the primaries.

[Report this comment] Posted by: Purple Girl on Sep 16, 2008 8:52 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Let's See let US count the Ways McCain has Lied and stuck behind? Was this a 20 questions Post, or a fill in the Blank contest? I have no doubt there is some real dessention in the Republican Party. Seems Mac's party can only pull in the Discredited and/or criminal 'B- Listers'. Are the Neo Cons getting the Big FU Like the DLC'er got at the convention. Think there are some Old School Republicans who don't appreciate Corp control over their party anymore Too?Said 'enough' to The sleazy tactics which have contamiated their party for even longer then the DLC (1984)! Could both Parties Bases finally kicking out these Corp whores from their Hostile Takeovers?? Has it finally become apparent even the Republicans,these Politicans are nothing more than Lobbist who manipulated the Voters and Ran our country into the ground in an Effort to serve Multinational Corps- NOT AMERICANS! come Republicans - Teddy dropped the gauntlet at the feet of the DLC, don't you have the Balls to do the same to the Neo Cons???Take back your Damn party! We did! [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] NON-Issue Alert!!!! [Report this comment] Posted by: Voicedude on Sep 16, 2008 9:04 AM Current rating: 1 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] NOTE: The entire article (such as it is) is actually ALL there - it's just short, and below the video player. On the source page, the author then says: "My mistake! The video was from the Primaries." IT IS A NON-ISSUE!!! It wasn't censorship, it wasn't an al queda/Bush conspiracy, it wasn't aliens (illegal or otherwise)! So, AlterNet, PLEASE remove this post to avoid any future embarrassment of showing the left once again chasing their tails. The Repugs LOVE when they do that!

[Report this comment] Posted by: buffeliscious on Sep 16, 2008 3:40 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] is that McCain obviously has crossed a line with his telling of lies in order to get ahead... everyone knows it! The Republican party knows it! They've switched the realm to party politics. By voting for McCain, you're not voting for the man, you're voting for the party, the one that has the sense to know when their candidate has crossed a line. Karl Rove, Mitt Romney... I wonder who's next...

Let's suppose for a minute that the rethugs suddenly decide that mcschmuck is a dangerous nut with an unravelling mind and palin is a hopeless numbskull no self-respecting woman would dream of voting for. Could the party rescind the nominations and put other people in their place? If so, why? Are mcstooge and moosemouth sacrificial lambs, hastily put into place while someone else is being coached to take over? What's the gain, unless it turns out to be someone who hasn't been thought of yet, like brother jeb. Can we put ANYTHING past this criminal regime?
