It all goes back to the presidential primaries in 2000 in South Carolina when the Bushs people, led by Karl Rove,

"in an effort to stave off a defeat in that primary, that Republican primary, ended up spreading all kinds of information, false information about McCain including that he was mentally unstable, that his wife had -- was a drug addict when she had had some problems with prescription drugs in the past, and that he had fathered an illegitimate black child when the reality was that he and his wife had adopted a child from, I think it was the Middle East at the time, and all of this contributed to with anonymous flyers and the day before the convention, created enormous doubt in Republican voters' minds about John McCain."

They also made calls to registered voters spreading rumors that MCcain had a secret "gay agenda" because he had met with representatives of the Log Cabin Republicans at a convention. There was alot of crazy sick crap that Bush and ROve did to defeat MCcain. The only lie I think that MCcain tells on a regular basis is that he doesn't hold any anamosity to Georgie.
