Manscape Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Some nitwit in another thread had something disparaging to say about the "Daily Kos" (and me of course!)..............the subject matter that I posted from the "Daily Kos" wasn't addressed at all but yet I was chided for using it as a source...........that SUBJECT matter was honest and accurate from the "Daily Kos" if not palatable for mainstream American media (and the deadenders that glean from it) just as it is in the following webpage from that site. Here's the summary paragraph from the Daily Kos concerning Bulgeface's sudden growth in economics erudition: The Republican presidential candidate made his comments during an exclusive interview from Cartagena, Colombia, with "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts, who asked McCain why he went abroad when the No. 1 issue for voters was the U.S. economy. "You have admitted that you're not exactly an expert when it comes to the economy," Roberts began. "I have not. I have not. I actually have not," McCain interrupted. "I said that I am stronger on national security issues because of all the time I spent in the military. Very strong on the economy. I understand it. I have a lot more experience than my opponent." But PLEASE be sure to visit the link below to view the video comparisons of Bulgeface McCain once more changing his story about himself, the shmuck that he is, banking on the STUPID American voter for another Republican administration to dictate America. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/7/2...1781/684/545463 Don't slay the messenger.

Guest Guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Don't slay the messenger. Think about the message. McCain admits he is weak on the economy. That's a very important admission. In times like these, when the US economy has been brought to its freaking knees by the Bush neocons, patriotic Americans (you know, the ones who actually care about what happens to the USA and its people) should not even think about electing someone who admits he doesn't understand economics.

Manscape Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 One thing is for sure, McCain understands economics better than Obama understands national security. The objective is to DEFEAT BULGEFACE and remove America from the meddling, bumbling, divisive, corrosive grip of another Republican regime. Not because the Democrats are saviors, cuz THEY AIN'T, but because the Republicans are like sand in the American crankcase TODAY. Barack Obama has a call from FATE, and he's needed in the clutch BIG TIME. What John McCain is or isn't remains an exercise for deadenders. All that matters is that Bulgeface is defeated and the reigns of this nation are given to Obama. Problems that arise from THAT POINT will be addressed AT THAT TIME. To reverse the profuse bleeding of America BEGINS with defeating Bulgeface John McCain! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080705/ap_on_...state_of_play_3 Analysis: McCain struggles to regain footing By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer Sat Jul 5, 10:07 AM ET WASHINGTON - John McCain calls himself an underdog. That may be an understatement. The GOP presidential candidate trails Democrat Barack Obama in polls, organization and money while trying to succeed a deeply unpopular fellow Republican in a year that favors Democrats. McCain also doesn't seem to have a coherent message let alone much of a strategy despite securing the nomination three months earlier than Obama. "This is a tough race. We are behind. We are the underdog. That's what I like to be," the GOP nominee-in-waiting frequently tells donors these days, keenly aware not only of his woes but also his proven comeback ability: He won his party's nomination despite the implosion of his campaign last summer. One year later, and now in the general election, McCain's troubles are so acute that he recently gave senior adviser Steve Schmidt "full operational control" of the day-to-day campaign and, effectively, scaled back the duties of campaign manager Rick Davis. The shift in responsibilities came after weeks of Republican quibbling that McCain had not adequately made the transition for the fall. "The frustration is there's no big theme around which to build a winning campaign," said Steve Lombardo, a Republican pollster. "They need a big strategic message that will show the differences between the two campaigns, and allow for a win." Hope is far from lost: The election is still four months away. The national conventions and the presidential debates are upcoming. Conservative evangelical leaders skeptical of McCain are now coalescing around him. The race remains competitive. And, Obama's campaign is far from flawless. McCain also is beefing up his staff with more presidential campaign veterans under the guidance of Schmidt, a top aide in President Bush's re-election effort and the operative who led Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to a come-from-behind victory in California two years ago. The campaign will try to showcase its efforts to restore discipline next week when McCain announces a "jobs first" economic plan and tours competitive states. For now, GOP insiders are cautious as they watch for improvement — and they should be. The political environment is dreadful for the GOP, with Bush's approval rating at low levels as the country teeters economically and fights two wars. And, as McCain's campaign struggles, Obama is seemingly skating along, visiting states Bush won four years ago and courting traditional GOP supporters with his core message: "Change We Can Believe In." Nonetheless, the Illinois senator says, "I'm going to have to be a better candidate" and is mindful of his own vulnerabilities. There are many, not the least of which is trying to become the first black president of a country where racism still runs deep. The GOP-fueled liberal elitist label also could stick on this Harvard-educated Chicagoan. And, Obama also may be undercutting his claim to be a straight-shooting, new-politics candidate as he repeatedly breaks with his liberal base on various issues to aggressively move to appeal to the center of the electorate. National polls vary widely, but they have one commonality: None show McCain ahead of Obama. And, on voters' most important issues, McCain trails on every subject but Iraq and terrorism. He also lags in key states, including Bush-won Colorado and Ohio. When it comes to message and strategy, McCain has appeared to flounder. He hasn't settled on one theme and can't seem to stick with a particular line of argument in favor of his candidacy for more than a couple days. His attempts to derail Obama are scattershot; the campaign simply takes advantages of openings Obama creates rather than creating a negative narrative against the Democrat. And, McCain's fundraising events have driven his campaign schedule, often putting him in solid Republican states instead of swing states likely to decide the election. As the sleepy summer pre-convention window opens, Obama is running TV ads in 18 states while McCain focuses on 11 for now and the Republican National Committee bolsters his efforts in the Great Lakes region. At the same time, McCain is working to match Obama's organization. For now, McCain's campaign is roughly 300-strong compared with Obama's 1,000-person plus operation. Obama had a campaign in just about every state during the long Democratic primary, and he has started bolstering the remnants of those existing networks. His aides also boast of a hefty grass-roots organization, a "persuasion army" of allies who will reach out to neighbors, friends and relatives. That's reminiscent of Bush's 2004 campaign. Conversely, McCain's ground-game operation has been slow-moving; staffers weren't dispatched in earnest to key states until last month — even though the GOP primary ended in March. The RNC has fewer than 100 offices with just about the same number of field staffers. The campaign, itself, has 11 regional campaign managers who, in turn, have brought on nearly 100 staff members as part of a much-maligned, decentralized structure. To return power to headquarters, Schmidt is hiring a national political director and a national field director to oversee ground-game efforts, and is promising to add hundreds more field staff and open more local GOP offices. But all that takes money, and here, too, McCain trails. Obama has 1.5 million donors and had raised more than $287 million by the end of May. McCain has far fewer donors and had raised $115 million. May was Obama's worst fundraising month of the year. He raised $22 million, to the $21 million McCain brought in during his best fundraising month. Still, McCain and Obama entered June with virtually the same amount of cash available for the rest of the summer, $33 million for Obama to $31.6 million for McCain. But McCain probably will feel the financial pinch this fall. Unlike Obama, McCain will accept nearly $85 million in public financing and the spending limits that come with it. The Democrat can raise and spend at will. Said Phil Musser, a former Republican Governors Association executive director: "There are a lot of miles to go before we get to Election Day, and McCain is in his finest form when he's the underdog." The candidate had better hope that rings true once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 One thing is for sure, McCain understands economics better than Obama understands national security. If by "for sure", you mean "pure bullshit", then yes. You go on praying for another terrorist attack, since it would help McCain so much according to his chief adviser. In the meantime, the rest of us will be working on bringing America back to its former glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 One thing is for sure, McCain understands economics better than Obama understands national security. You're wrong. Obama was right about not getting into Iraq. McCain was wrong. Obama wants us out of Iraq. McCain says it's OK if we stay there for a hundred years. You can't defend him by saying that's only if no soldiers die, because soldiers are dying. Obama understands that the real threat is from terrorists, not countries that have oil. McCain doesn't. McCain is pandering to the radical right, which got us into this mess. He's not the person to get us out. Thanks for admitting that McCain doesn't understand economics.
