He Fills Out Literally Every Survey?
John McCain at the NAACP convention today assured a questioner that he will indeed fill out the group's civil rights survey, a comment that prompted a smattering of applause.
"I'll look forward to filling it out," McCain said. "We fill out literally every survey, so I'll be more than happy to do that."
Every survey? Well ... not quite. Rewind to April 10, 2008, when Mother Jones reported that McCain was booted from the Project Vote Smart board for not completing the organization's Political Courage Test. Mother Jones: "PVS contacted the McCain campaign 25 times from June 2007 to February 2008 in the hopes of avoiding the embarrassment this move entails for both the organization and one of its long-time board members." Here's PVS' statement on the matter.
Just a quick survey of surveys. ...

He didn't fill out the AFL-CIO questionnaire either.
Now that's what I call straight talk!

I'm sure that at least when McCain does fill out a survey he will stick to the positions. As opposed to Barack who throws staffers under the bus when surveys are uncovered that show him for the leftist that he is.

this post would be interesting if it wasn't spoon fed from the obama campaign.

>>>"We fill out literally every survey"
Except he doesn't and he knows he doesn't.
Mark, Joker, that is called a LIE.
Go ahead and defend a liar.
America is sick of Liars In Chief.

McCain is a liar. When he is not lying he is confused.

Ethan:
You obviously were not around during the Clinton Presidency. Obviously literally in this instance means, "the surveys we want to fill out or just about every survey."
Please pay closer attention next time. Your close but far from "lie" categorization.
Best Regards,
