Add your own ending to the title above!

During a question and answer session today, John McCain again got confused during his answer. The question asked of him from a journalist was about torturing detainees, asking “don’t we stand for something better?” McCain’s answer:

I’ve made it very clear, I’ve made it very clear in my statements and in my support of the Detainee Treatment Act, the Geneva Conventions, etc., that there may be some additional techniques to be used, but none of those would violate the Geneva Conventions, the Detainee Treatment Act…And we cannot ever, in my view, torture any American, that includes waterboarding.

I’m very happy to announce that for once in this country’s history, EVERYBODY agrees with this statement!

McCain makes the claim that he has made it very clear that he against torture, and violating the Geneva Conventions, but yet he voted against a bill banning the CIA from using waterboarding. So McCain is standing by the old agage of “do as I say, not as I do,” because in one breath he opposes the use of torture, but secretly endorses it. Way to make a stand John!

So how many ‘gaffes’ has McCain made so far in his campaign? Are people willing to take the chance to see how many he makes if he were President? Making a mistake is one thing, but blaming that mistake on “being confused” is totally another.
