Hoo boy, calling the American public "whiners" isn't going to help McCain!!

[skooooo]

Just was watching Tweety, and this was the lead story.

So much for Obama's "bitter" remark, this is even easier for the low-information public to understand.

QUIT WHINING ABOUT LOSING YOUR JOB, IT'S JUST PSYCHOLOGICAL.

:thumbsdown:

1. OMG! It IS worse than the bitter comment. nt

[skooooo]

6. Yeah, so don't look for them to bring that up again...

Open door for Obama to slam it on their whiney butts!

[ErinBerin84]

2. heh, they also went after McCain for the social security "third rail"

Hmmm...what's worse? Saying that people are rightfully bitter bc the government has fucked them over, or telling people that they don't have a right to be "whiners" because the economic "slowdown" is really just an illusion.

[skooooo]

9. Yep, called Social Security a "disgrace..."

That will help with the AARP vote!

:thumbsup:

3. That was a quote?

Which wouldn't surprise me at all. An attitude like, "you should be thrilled you're not working and not having to pay payroll taxes"

[skooooo]

8. From Wash. Post

Former senator Phil Gramm -- under fire for saying the United States has "become a nation of whiners" -- said in an interview today that he meant the nation's leaders were whiners, not its citizens.

4. "Hey you kids get off my country!" GRRRRRRR! "Little Cunts!!' GRRRRR!

5. Denouncing your economic adviser for saying that won't help either!! ...

Number one issue of concern in America is the economy. First McSame admits that he "doesn't know much about the economy", and now his economic adviser "only speaks for himself"

[ErinBerin84]

7. heh...which just reminds me of the various times that someone

in a town hall meeting has asked McCain an economic question that he didn't "get" and he nudges in Phil Gramm, "Uh, my economic advisor would be happy to answer that question." Heh. Doesn't speak for you eh?

[codjh9]

10. Phil Gramm just proved for the umpteenth time that he's an asshole. n/t

[unblock]

11. fortunately for mccain, phil gramm is not his PREACHER!

THEN he'd have a REAL problem.


oy vey, politics these days....

[AtomicKitten]

12. that rather nicely puts the "bitter" comments to rest

[vaberella]

13. McCain just lost the election, that's it. If people vote after this...I'm officially shocked.

[tomreedtoon]

14. WHY aren't you guys talking this up?

This got national coverage. It was the top story on most networks this morning. This needs to be HAMMERED in every message you put out. It clearly shows what McCain and his buddy Graham think about us "little people."

Ask people who still support Bush and McCain if they aren't just whiners in the closet. Carry signs saying "We're the Whiners" at McCain whistle stops. Never let up. Never, never, never.

[senseandsensibility]

16. Are the networks really covering it?

What are they saying? I am sure that it isn't getting a fraction of the Rev. Wright coverage or the bitter thing, but I'm so cynical that I'm surprised that anyone other than Rachel or Keith would go near it.

[leftynyc]

19. I saw it talked about on 3 cable

shows last night (Gregory, Matthews, Keith/Rachel) and it was the top story on my local "wake up to" news this morning. It's quick, easy to understand and that's why they will talk about it.

15. the veil slips away

every now and then the right wing elite reveal themselves and their attitudes towards the less fortunate...it's nice to see them exposed in all their exploitive detached glory

[DevonRex]

17. Tweety was great on that. And he didn't let it go, either. heh heh. nt

[shagsak]

18. A Big Whiney K&R!!!
