Yesterday, John McCain went before the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and lied about Barack Obama’s record, saying that Obama voted to “legislate” failure by casting a single vote against troop funding because it did not contain a timetable, despite Obama’s having voted for funding the occupation every other time.
