> [@Joe](#): > > Yep. We can bring out the Republican flip-flopping attacks on Kerry from 04, replace “War” with “Bush tax cuts” and go. Use them as part of an entire theme of McCain being an old fart who knows nothing about the economy. Then we hammer him on how he shares Bush’s views on foreign policy and the failed, useless, expensive war. Next, we shore up support with the Hillary voters by going after his views on free trade in the Rust Belt, and how he helped to send their manufacturing jobs overseas and reward the companies that did so, and privatization of Social Security, which scares the shit out of old people. Finally, we throw in the Keating Five and hammer him on character like the Republicans are so fond of doing (If you can’t win on the issues, attack the person that’s speaking on them) and you have a new President. :lol: It will be fun using multi-quote when Obama loses. 😉 ---

I guess in your world the economy is fine we are winning the war in Iraq and life has only gotten better since Bush took office. Of all the Republican’s I liked McCain the best but now it seems he is just following step with Bush. :gotme: He had a history of crossing party lines but on the issues that matter this Novmeber he is def not on the same page as most of America, I mean democrats. ---

Eventually Obama is going to have to admit real progress is being made in Iraq, that a quick withdrawl will destroy that progress, and then he’s really screwed. As for the economy, it got hurt by housing and oil. The fix for housing hurt the dollar which caused the problems with oil. Neither of these were caused by anything the democrats would have done differently. Besides that housing is showing some signs of turning around, the dollar is slowly rising, and oil is starting to fall. I wouldn’t bet on being able to claim the republicans in charge screwed up the economy because it may be doing just fine by the time the election gets here. ---

They have been in power for 8 years and the country is turning to shit. Do I believe that everything will be majically fixed? No. But I know Obama will try and I can not believe that McCain could do a better job, he is out of sync with the American public. ---

I wouldn’t count on her supporters jumping on the Obama bandwagon that easily, at least not without her as VP. They’re going to see it as what it is, her doing what she has to do to keep her political career alive. ---

What has she done for NY EVER? I can almost overlook the last year because I doubt McCain or Obama have been real busy in their home states either. Doesn’t make it right, but it’s how it goes. ---

Doesn’t make it right, but it’s how it goes. lol you didn’t catch the sarcasm 😃 really though, it should be a law that a person can’t run for an office, while already holding another office. Resign, or wait it out… it aggravates the shit out of me.
