Which candidate told the biggest lie so far?? and what was it..?

Question

eg.

mccain -cross in the sand

clinton- sniper fire

obama- im a little vague...he was a community organizer and not a slumlord..??

Answer 1

McCain because he pretends to be a hero and promotes himself to be a hero, while he stops other POWs' and Viet Vets from being able to make public the actual records because McCain was a prison snitch and is now a 'Manchurian Candidate'.  

Answer 2

This is an unanswerable question meant only to stir up drama, so I'm not answering it. Lies can't be quantified. Thanks for the 2 points though.

Answer 3

so far Obama you forgot abt him promising a change from the old politics of washington and promoting a new style of politicians then he goes and picks biden as his vp who has been in washington as an insider for 35 yrs, voted for the iraq war and is abt as old a style politician as one can get.

besides claiming he had absolutely no idea that his pastor who he had listened to for 20 years was just a tad bit racist and slightly unhinged and I forgot claiming he lived on foodstamps and how did his mom pay for the air ticket to indonesia, the private schools in indonesia, the air ticket to hawaii and the private schools there..... that has to be his most ridiculous lie I mean I wasn't aware airlines or private schools accepted food stamps hmmm.......

Answer 4

Gosh, Obama has lied so many times I can not keep count.

I think the biggest of his lies is that he denounced Rev. Wright after sitting in his church for 20 years.  I believe he didn't even notice the hate filed words of that man until it came out in the media. That is how far out of touch he is. Let's face it , if he actually thought it was not the kind of church that major America could deal with then he would have been out of there way before his campaign started.  He did not think his Preacher was an America hater!!

Answer 5

Sarah Palin lying about the bridge to nowhere. She asked for earmarks and then decided not to but never gave back the money.

I do have to say that Hillary Clinton's sniper fire was a clear lie.I love her,but come on,that was such a stupid thing to lie about lol

McCain lying about being a 'Maverick' when he voted with Bush 95% of the time

Obama lying about the Reverend Wright by saying that he's never heard any fiery sermons the first day the story came out,and in his speech he said he did

By the way,I don't care about Reverend Wright because I know that Obama is not an idiot and a racist. I also don't care about the sniper fire lie because she just did to look 'brave'. I care about the earmark lie and the maverick lie

Answer 6

Why'd you leave out Palin and her fight against earmarks=that is the biggest lie of all.

Answer 7

The lies above don't compare to the lies told two nights ago....

Answer 12

-Obama saying he voted against the Iraq war. He was not even a senator back then.

-Also, in his Berlin speech, he talked about how the Berlin wall was brought down by "the world coming together." Not true at all.

Answer 13

Obama when he claims to care about all us bible clinging middle class Americans.

Answer 14

Both of the above McCain and Clinton lies, and you can add to it McCains promise a few monthe ago to run a "respectful campaign" LIE!   Also his (McCains') lie about not having ties to lobbyists,  LIE!

Answer 15

The cross in the sand was confirmed by other P.O.Ws so how that a lie?

The "sniper fire" by Clinton was proven a lie by film.

I think it may have been Obama, due to he wants to change Washington but he picks Biden instead of a new and different Democrat.

Answer 16

palin...is she an option?

Answer 17

"i am qualified to be president"

"I am not a muslim"

"i was a college professor"

"i don't associate with terrorists"

"i did not know that was a racist blak supremacist church"

Answer 18

I guess McCain not being honest about the number of houses he owns, is a small lie... Hillary's sniper story, is just funny....

I think biggest lie would be Palin saying that Obama is lying about her... she did this right after the guy stood up for her by saying that the situation with her daughter should be off the table...

Ya give an inch, then they take a mile... A lesson taught by the GOP.

Answer 19

Obama - not attending church when Wright had sermons on hate.

             not talking to Canadians about NAFTA.

             not being close friends with convicted slumlord Tony Rezko.

             not having lobbyists on his campaign.

             not accepting money from oil companies.  

Answer 20

who said mccain's cross in the sand story was a lie?  and even if someone said it was a lie, that can never be proven so uh......

Answer 21

It's all lies.  Every bit of it.

The question is, will the belligerent foreign policy of the Republicans who kill people in far corners of the planet coupled with their less than stellar understanding of economics do us in -- or will the Democrats total misunderstanding of economics coupled with their willingness to kill people in far corners of the globe be worse.

Answer 22

McCain...along with "Sarah is ready."

Answer 23

Obama.... when he said he never hear Rev Wright make racists remarks.   LOL

by the way... Obama himself has said "your taxes will go up"... then promies tax breaks to 95% of American families, of which 40% of that 95% dont even pay taxes... BUT... he's going to give out $1000??  

hello, folks... that doesnt add up.  

fibber, fibber, fibber.  

Answer 24

Obama....your taxes will go down....BY HIS numbers EVERYONES taxes will go up an average of 12%...

Answer 25

Sarah Palin- Obama will raise your taxes.

Guiliani- Obama will raise your taxes

McCain-Obama will raise your taxes

ALL LIES!

Answer 26

these 2 are pretty good:

PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."

THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.

Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.

He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.

MCCAIN: "She's been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America's energy supply ... She's responsible for 20 percent of the nation's energy supply. I'm entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America," he said in an interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson.

THE FACTS: McCain's phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she's no more "responsible" for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.
