<<PROOF Tee. What PROOF do you or anyone have that McCain heard every word of his opponent's answers and was surrounded by advisers who told him exactly what to say. Where exactly?? When?? That was the accusation, if I recall. Time to present the PROOF!!, as we already have heard the accusation>>
We have powerful motive and opportunity following McCain's breach of the debate conditions. We know he wasn't alone, that members of his team were with him. Very suspicious to me is the fact that despite the seriousness of the allegations of cheating, McCain STILL has not released an account of his whereabouts and companions at all times when he was supposed to be in what "Pastor Rick" had twice assured everyone was a "cone of silence."
Circumstantial evidence in the form of the facts cited above and McCain's previous lying and cheating leads me to conclude with reasonable certainty (although certainly not beyond any reasonable doubt, the standard of proof of the criminal justice system) that McCain cheated. He's cheated and lied before. Why wouldn't he again?
The level of proof demanded by sirs is absurd and unrealistic. Who could ever prove that McCain heard every word? What if he only heard half, or a third? Would anyone ever think that a student who cheats on an exam could escape punishment by proving that he didn't cheat on every single question, that some of them he had answered on his own to the best of his ability?
sirs also asks us, "Where exactly" "When?" and similar nonsense, stuff that would only be known to the cheater himself and his entourage - - who so far have steadfastly refused to produce a detailed account of their whereabouts and doings at the time in dispute. No, I'm satisfied on the circumstances that have emerged to date that in all likelihood, McCain cheated in this Saddleback debate. Probably with the connivance of "Pastor Rick," the Evangelical host.
