In response to a reporter with the Des Moins Register who asked him about his misleading ads, McCain stated:
I have always had 100% absolute truth and that’s been my life of putting my country first
This grammar is confusing, and makes it impossible to accurately say what is meant by McCain. Politico assumes McCain means he has always “told” 100% truth. If this is the case, it of course is a lie proven by clicking the large McCain in the menu on the right.
Unclear, +0 lies.

Wow. I’m offended by that grammar. I think he’s TRYING to say that he’s always had one truth which he holds to him 100%. But it’s hard to tell. That’s atrocious. It sounds like he’s speak Engrish.

Doesn’t the fact that A) this site exists with a current +21 count against his party and B) he used the words 100% and absolute, make this a lie just based on context combined with grammar. He obviously hasn’t been telling 100% absolute truth - because he’s a politician (and a human) and, thus, has a partial take on any and all subjects. Add to that the fact that you have numerous examples on this site of his telling of lies and you’ve got yourself a winner. +1 Republicans. do it.
