Define amnesty.

Asked whether he would do anything about illegal alien sanctuary cities, he [McCain] shrugged off the question by muttering that “of course” he didn’t approve of them (but was silent on taking any proactive measures to cut off their funding). Having dispensed with that, McCain then quickly gave his new slippery, flip-flop formulation about how we need to “secure the borders” AND have “comprehensive immigration enforcement/” “temporary guest work plan” (translation: amnesty) and “deal with the 12 million people already here” (translation: give them amnesty, DREAM Act, sanctuary, driver’s licenses, bank accounts, home loans, etc., etc., etc.)

But you already knew all of this, of course.

Answer the question, please: "Why on earth would you expect me to believe anything stated by a demonstrable liar?"

OK, so your own quote does NOT show him using the word amnesty, nor even providing the true amnesty offered by and signed into law by President Reagan. And it does not meet the definition of amnesty found in the dictionary. But you go right ahead and define it as you like...

So about your question - he's a demonstrable liar if:

1. We make up a new definition for amnesty
2. We decide what McCain originally supported was equal to what President Reagan (presumed not to be a demonstrable liar, since you hold him up as the paragon of Presidential ability) actually supported and signed into law
3. We ignore that McCain has chosen to change his mind, and that by changing one's mind you become a liar

So I guess you're a demonstrable liar too, since your own post here and the link you used falsely states the man's own statements and positions?

So I guess in a roundabout way is that I can't answer the question because the premise of the question itself is false - the questioner is the liar, in this case.
