Why did McCain lie about buying only American cars?

[JuanMcCain]

"I've bought American literally all my life and I'm proud," McCain said in the interview with Detroit's WXYZ-TV.

But he owns a 2005 Volkwagen convertible, a 2001 Honda sedan. He bought his daughter a Toyota Prius and Cindy drives a Lexus.

Votes. Same reason he picked a no-experience (supposed) "glam" running mate.

Go check the VIN on his Honda. Odds are it was built in Ohio.

The only one he owns is a Cadillac (from your article). Cindy owns the rest.

Please that is only the tip of his lying iceberg.

The Honda and Volkswagen are american built cars.

You added the word "only" to that quote, please do not lie.

His quote doesnt say only, now does it? Where were those cars made? The Honda in Ohio, right?

Because McCain likes to lie and he is ignorant of how intelligent Americans are. And there is this invention, the computer. This invention gives us access to the internet. The internet is a complex tool where we can find out just about anything we want to concerning McCain. Perhaps if McCain could use a computer and the internet, then he would realize that he cannot lie to us intelligent, tech savvy Americans!

He is too old and can't remember what he says two minutes ago.
Do you want him to be in the White House?
