McCain will Lose Because he Doesn't Know CRAP About the Economy
When the economy is the central issue right now on people's minds, for McCain's TOP economic advisor to come out and say the American people are "whiners" is a big slap in the face! Yea, McJoke didn't say it himself...but to call a guy like that your top ADVISOR shows a huge lack of judgement on his side. Then, on Hardball just now, Jim Cramer got into McCain's butt (well really they all did) about bringing up Social Security. He said something like "McCain is the most unorganized person when it comes to the economy." He was saying that the guy really has no clue.

1. That all depends on who's paying attention. I hope the DNC is
crafting an ad that will air nationwide with Gramm's slam.

2. McCain knows crap about the economy - and everything else! I have yet to hear him talk about any
subject and sound intelligent, informed and enlightened.

7. Bush won for different reasons
It was a year after the invasion and national security was still the #1 issue.

4. I wish I could believe that. This country put a complete fuck-up in office twice.

As long as the media is complicit and the American people are gullible, it can certainly can (and probably will) happen again. The trend I'm seeing isn't good. McCain isn't held accountable for anything he says or does; Obama is picked apart like vultures on a dead animal.

6. Can someone please go on some MSM show and
make the point that JOHN MCCAIN AND HIS TEAM ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICA!

Would that be too hard to do? I am pissed that these wealthy pigs have the nerve to tell anyone to "quit whining" while they destroy our economy for their own personal gain.

And, if people were offended at the "clinging" then they should really blow their tops over this!

8. Four months ago the Economy was not the top issue. four months from now......
It may still be #1 but it may not be



If the War in Iraq erupts again.....

If the War in Afghanistan erupts again.....

If the War in Iran begins.....

If the Terrorists attack us again.....

If Brittany's sister gets pregnant again.....



Honestly, I agree that it may still be the economy and McCain is lost on the issue. It should be clear by the end of the debates that he is just faking it and doing it poorly.

Repugs will try to again put other items on the ballot like Gay Marriage to turn out voters that don't care about getting McCain in office but will vote (R) just because they are there to vote on the social issue. (it may be gun control issues this time due to the recent SCOTUS ruling)
