That’s because you can’t call yourself “the one” when you’re mocking your opponent for calling himself “the one”.
Here is what McCain’s site said before it was deleted:
John McCain’s Experience Sets Him Apart In The Presidential Field
John McCain: “The difference between me and Mayor Giuliani and Governor Romney [is that] I fought against the failed Rumsfeld-Casey strategy and advocated for the policy that is succeeding. I’m the one that did that. I’m the only one. And I said it in the summer of 2003, and I said it and I predicted that that strategy would fail because it was a terribly flawed strategy and I advocated the one that is succeeding now. That’s based [on my] military experience from service for many years on the Armed Services Committee as well as in the military.” (WKXL Concord, 9/4/07)
And this isn’t the first time McCain’s team has rewritten history. They also scrubbed an AP article that referred to John McCain as a “celebrity” after McCain mocked Obama for being a “celebrity”.
