The ladies of "The View" confronted today for lying in his recent attack ads, pressed him on abortion and questioned his choice of .

In arguably his toughest interview yet, co-host Joy Behar asked McCain, "There are ads running from your campaign… Now we know that those two ads are untrue, they are lies. And yet, you at the end of it say you approve these messages. Do you really approve these?"

Barbara Walters then threw in her condemnation, telling McCain: "You, yourself, said the same thing about putting lipstick on a pig…"

Watch McCain try and explain the lies:

McCain was also pushed on his stance on abortion, that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. Noting his pledge to nominate justices who "strictly interpret the constitution," Whoopi asked if that meant she’d be returned to slavery:

Whoopi also pushed McCain on the separation of church and state, saying that if he believes in it, "did it not give [him] a moment of pause" to choose Sarah Palin as his running mate. He responded in part, "God has a plan for the world and that we should do what we can to lead as good a lives as we can…":

McCain was asked how Palin will "reform" Washington and the government. Barbara Walters continually pushed on just who and what she was going to reform. His answer, which he was forced to elaborate on, was "all of Washington":

McCain also claimed that Palin has never asked for money for pet projects as Alaska governor — when in fact she has sought nearly $200 million in earmarks this year.

For the 3rd and 4th segments, he was joined by wife Cindy McCain, for whom co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck hosted a luncheon at last week’s RNC. After a hard first few segments, talk got easy with Cindy and turned to kids and humanitarian issues.

Once again John McCain showed his shortcomings and unwillingness to tell the truth, even when confronted with the facts. The sad thing is that there is a large portion of our Citizenry that will continue to buy into the bullshit. WHY?
