McCain Has Said "Lipstick On A Pig" At Least Three Times

By Greg Sargent - September 10, 2008, 10:04AM
As you know, the McCain campaign is pretending to be outraged by Barack Obama's use of the common phrase "lipstick on a pig," with McCain surrogates pretending that they believe that Obama was tacitly referring to Sarah Palin as a porker.
The McCain campaign even has a new Web ad (see video below) hitting Obama over the "pig" line.
As it turns out, however, McCain himself has used the same phrase not once, not twice, but at least three times.
The first one is the one that's gotten all the attention: McCain using the phrase last October to describe Hillary's health plan. But there are two more examples.
At a press conference on Iraq war strategy on February 1, 2007, McCain said (via Nexis):

"It gets down to whether you support what's being done in this new strategy or you don't. You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig in my view."

The Honorable John McCain!

So all three times McCain mentioned it it was before Palin referenced "...the difference between a Hockey Mom and a Bulldog? Lipstick!" But the one time Barack mentioned it wasn't even a week after the fact?

So tell me, McCain is for Stem Cell Research.. Palin not. Who was Biden referring to when he said,

If you love your disabled kid, you'd support Stem Cell Research!

So apparently Biden knows Palin SO well, that he knows she doesn't love her kids, not REALLY love them anyways..

Insinuating that a mother doesn't love their child because she doesn't agree with your views?? What the hell is that?

Gee, I wonder why people don't trust McCain...

That doesn't answer the question as to who was Biden talking about..


Pretty sad when a grown man has to insinuate a woman doesn't love their child because he has a birth defect. Pretty petty and childish, and totally lacks any class.

Pigs are intelligent creatures.

Go back and start over again, you just switched the subject from McCain's pig in a poke to stem cell research. No one can say you have a one track mind! Can I suggest you start a Biden thread?

So, now that your 'reply' to the question didn't work, you are going to turn it back on me? Nice try Socrates.
