McCain: I never supported renegotiating Colorado River water-sharing agreement.
McCain: I never supported renegotiating Colorado River water-sharing agreement.
Yesterday during an interview with the Denver Post, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) claimed, “I will not and have never supported renegotiating the Colorado River Compact,” an agreement that “governs how seven Western states, including Colorado and Arizona, share the Colorado River“:
MCCAIN: And by the way, whatever misinterpretation there may have been, I will not and have never supported renegotiating the Colorado River Compact. … Never, Never would I support a renegotiation of the Colorado River Compact. Please. No. Got it?
But in August, McCain did exactly that. He told the Pueblo Chieftain that the compact “obviously, needs to be renegotiated“:
MCCAIN: I don’t think there’s any doubt the major, major issue is water and can be as important as oil. So the compact that is in effect, obviously, needs to be renegotiated over time amongst the interested parties.

October 3rd, 2008 at 10:55 amI was for it before I was agin it. Chuckle, chuckle, lie!
October 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 amIs there a way to tie this around McCain’s neck.
In some western states, the water compacts are their lifeblood. No one dares tread on that territory.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:08 amI truly hope someone far more technically capable than I will compile a video of all of McCain’s clear flip flops on issue such as these.
Granted, such a venture could take days, but I’d love to see it!
Idiot. Dangerous idiot. Dangerous lying idiot.
PEACE
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:09 am“Majority Leader of the Colorado General Assembly Alice Madden recommends, “McCain should spend less time inside the DC beltway and more time with real Coloradans.”"
Don’t worry Alice. After November 4th, Senator Johnny McCrappedhimself will have plenty of time on his hands. You may have a hard time pulling him away from the craps tables though.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 amOK. Debate is over. Time to go back and beat McCain to death, again, as a liar.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:10 am“McCain: I never supported renegotiating Colorado River water-sharing agreement.”
– - Look, McCain is absolutely 100% truthful all the time. Got it?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:14 amStill alive and Mcflipping………
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:19 am***My Sarah Palin annoying long A voice*** John McCaaaain is aa MAAAAVERICK!
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:21 amsarcasm of course.
McCain should spend more time with Arizonans. How about retiring him to one of his eight or ten homes?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 amSpencer’s Mater,
Idiot. Dangerous idiot. Dangerous lying rich boy privileged spoiled idiot.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:31 amWas he ready to punch out the interviewer for impugning his nonexistent credibility?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:32 amIs he really so addled that he can’t remember what he said two months ago?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:32 amDouble-U Tee EFF???
While it is true that I am no biologist, I am fairly certain that crude oil is not a requirement for life, whereas water most definitely is.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:34 amNeoke, d’ya spose McIIIrd drinks oil instead of water?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 amReality: Yes you did.
McCain: No, I didn’t.
Reality: Yes you did.
McCain: No, I didn’t.
Reality: Yes you did.
McCain: No, I didn’t.
Reality: Yes you did.
McCain: GODAMMIT I’M THE MOTHERFU(KING MAVERICK!!! DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!!
Reality: You just lost it and shouted at me.
McCain: No, I didn’t.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:37 amI’m pretty sure Cheney does…when he’s not drinking puppy blood of course.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:39 amSounds like a t.v. commercial in the making for Colorado.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:39 amEither McCain is suffering from demetia and can’t remember what he says from day to day or he thinks that the American public is stupid enought to believe his lies.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:44 amI’ve been saying this for a while now.
Any thoughts on which you think is worse? I honestly can’t decide.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:45 amLT@#16 ~ Heh! Nice.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:46 am100 PERCENT TRUTH All the time!
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:55 amWhere has John McCain been all these years ? Has he learned to lie so often he can’t remember his lies or thinks no one else will remember? Poor palin in her comment that John never goes back on his words, she even shows how uninformed she is. Do we want Jeb Clampett to sit down with International leaders who have been educated at Oxford ?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:55 amHe really needs to see a neurologist to get all the proper testing. He could very well be in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body Disease and or Parkinsons. The drooping eyelid is a tell-tale sign.
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:56 amObviously, McCain should not use words like “always”, “never”, and “100%”. He mistakenly believes that we have no ability to fact-check him.
What is the saying, “Never say never”?
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:57 amHere you go again Think! Conflating what the candidate said to appear to be the campaigns official position. That is entirely unfair. John McCain may be out there saying reckless things like Colorado needs to give its water to Arizona, but as the unofficial spokesperson, come on. ‘How long has be been at this? Like 30 years.’
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:58 amGrampy is reminding me more and more of Stig O’Tracy:
Interviewer: I’ve been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor.
Stig: No. Never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to buy his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
Interviewer: But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.
Stig: (pause) Oh yeah, he did that.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 pmWhatever McWars says, he has already contradicted or will be contradicting in the future. The old man is yelling at the clouds and doesn’t have a clue about what he is talking.
October 3rd, 2008 at 12:24 pmThis is a huge issue in Colorado. We are very attuned to the raging thirst and desire for our upstream water rights from our lower basin partners,AZ NV and CA. The more this comment get’s spread in CO the more votes for Obama. Even the most die hard anti-abortionist will not vote for McGramps if there is even a hint that AZ would get preferential treatment with regards to water rights. Huuuge issue, especially in super conservative western CO where the KKK was the main political party well into the 1950’s.
