"Sometimes politicians make mistakes during off the cuff remarks."

And sometimes they lie, then claim an innocent mistake when they get caught.

Odd, how Republicans keep repeating the same error - bogus connections between al Queda and the target of the moment.  Isn't attention to detail of any importance to you people?

But you've admitted the right-wing lied when they repeatedly smeared Kerry. With that character defect in mind, McCain's thrice repeated lie about the bogus connection seems likely to be - another GOP lie.

Mistake?  He did it over and over again (and we've told you that over and over again).  Did he immediately correct it every time?

And sure the GOP is effective... at politics, and not governing.  They've got the smear thing down.  Now if they can just figure out this democracy deal they'll be golden.  Hmm...

You should have taken my advice and exited (stage extreme right even) because you are clearly out of legs to stand on.

"The insignificant McCain verbal mistake .  .  ."

You meant mistakes, didn't you?  He repeated the same lie on 4 (count 'em, 4) separate occasions.

You may be right that it won't matter. More than any other party in our history, the GOP depends upon people not paying attention.

But I'm surprised that it doesn't matter to you, Ken. Whether McCain is lying or repeatedly screwing up, an intelligent person has to question whether he really understands the complexities of the Middle East. McCain says he does; so does Bush. But is there any real evidence to support that belief?
