Who lies and flip-flops the most, Obama or McCain?

Please be honest. Do your home work first: check all the available resources you have in your access such as the news, web, tapes, youtubes, radio, newspapers, magazines, neighbors, friends, e-mail buddies and so on, etc.

You will be amazed at all the lying and flip-flopping that you will find. If you do a research or survey, I betcha you will get actual proof. This will put an end to who?what?

I researched several tapes and I found McCain flip-flopping and lying more than I could count; especially in "McCain's youtube problem just became a nightmare." I was not able to keep up in my counts because he had flip-flopped and lied so much.

I did a telephone and e-mail survey of 43 people, and all but 2 said it is McCain that flip-flops and lies the most. I also noticed McCain's responses during interviews and debates; Have you ever noticed how he looks and sounds when he's answering a question?

During my research, I found McCain flip-flopped and lied 95% over Obama, please noticed that I said "during my research". If this was a lying and flip-flop election contest - McCain would win 98 to 2.

Don't you want to vote for someone you can trust?

get real.

i can email and call several of my friends and ask them that question and get the opposite results.

these "polls" in this forum are the biggest joke i have ever seen. what they should do is make it a rule that all "polls" be submitted to the forum staff first for approval before being allowed to be posted.

McCain has been doing nothing but flip flopping since he began to run for president. No longer the maverick he's now the party line man, flip flopping on such things as the Bush tax cuts, gay marriage, Roe V Wade, the list goes on and on.. He's also now lowered himself to kissing the butts of evangelic leaders he once referred to as "agents of intolerance."

You say this Obama has flip flopped and moved WAY RIGHT on issues like gun control and the Iraq was people. What happened to all his supporters crying about the tax rebate check? Now he wants to send more right away. Thats right Obama the answer to all problems is more money!

Obama has been in the senate for 143 days and has flip-flop on all major issues. McCain has served 20 yrs. in the senate and lets all be honest as we age and mature do we not see things from a different perspective. I know I have changed my views on issues from my 20's and now in my 30's. 143 days is not enough time to have a major change in stance either you know your position or you don't.

Obama's been more... umm... flexible with his positions, but regardless, any combo of his positions are better than McCain's steadfast support of bad policies.

I think the euphemistic term being used now to describe Obama's numerous flip flops is "malleable".
