I’m going to give McDole credit for his economic, it’s the only positive economic message running, and the Republicans need to state a goal for lower tax rates, just saying tax cuts isn’t enough;

McCain will talk about his economic plans, including lowering the corporate tax rate, and creating a new flatter tax code. In his remarks, he’ll say that he will have been able to eliminate pork barrel earmark spending as well.
“After exercising my veto several times in my first year in office, Congress has not sent me an appropriations bill containing earmarks for the last three years,” McCain will say.

My friend Art Laffer tells me Al Gore wants a carbon tax, with the revenues being used to abolish the Social Security/Medicare payroll tax altogether. Laffer would prefer a big income-tax-rate reduction that would get us to a 13 percent flat tax. I agree.
Too bad it’s not also about the ongoing invasion of illegals into our country, the North American Union, (Or Whatever it’s called this week), the adding of the Spanish language in public everywhere, Mexican Trucks, loss of jobs to American workers and truckers, entitlements to illegals, etc.
***This election - in my opinion - is about only two thing: the war against terror and judges.***
I think we all know the answer, and that a Democrat won’t/can’t answer truthfully.
Well, one hand anyway ..... I'm going to have to carry a barf bag into the voting booth with me.
Yes sir, life will go on and we will continue pushing voters to the right. I just hate it when we get delayed or thrown off track, which is possible this year.
I still laugh at Democrat bumper stickers. I have yet to see an American flag on a car that has an Obama or Hillary sticker on it. Democrats continue hoping for utopia, knowing it cannot work.
What was it they called Reagan, the Great Communicator? I was in my youth at the time Reagan came into office and thought, oh boy an actor in the White House. How low can we go? At the end of his second term, I wanted to make him President for life. When he died, I cried for a solid hour watching his funeral procession.
Now my father, who likes to call himself a moderate, (he’s a lib), follows the theme: Reagan nearly destroyed this country. Standard lib thought brought to you buy the mainstream media.
When push comes to shove, I’ll vote McCain, and he knows it. He knows it because he knows that Conservatives won’t go for a total Marxist like Obama. So he doesn’t have to woo us or win our votes. Its a resurgance of the Blue Blood Country Club and their mini fiefdoms on the Hill. And that’s politics.
I realize I’ve rambled. Feels kind of good. :) Hey I got one of those Republican survey letters, you know the kind, beg letter disguised as a questionaire. Yeah, I sent it to John Ensign along with a letter as to why they would have to win without my money. I’m putting my hard earned dollars at the grass root level and am on the lookout for a Conservative Candidate I can support for Congress. My rep presently is Andre Carson. (I can barely type the name for want of pain killers.). He’s an Ultra lib...
Regardless of what some here on FR say and barring some unforeseen tragedy, one of these three is going to be our next president. When it comes to appointing judges, I would rather get a Ginsberg from McCain than a Stevens (or worse) from Hillary or Obama.
This also fits in another one of my philosophies regarding politicians: divided government.
The Congress is going to remain in Democrat control and they may even get a cloture-proof majority in the Senate. I would rather have McCain to balance out that DemocRat Congress (at least somewhat) than a Hillary or Obama working hand-in-hand with them.
Yes, this will be a slower beating, but I don't see any way of not getting a beating these next four to eight years.
Good morning everyone!
And who do you think is more likely to appoint judges that will make rulings favorable to the illegals: McCain, Hillary or Obama?
As you know from my freepmail the other day I am just sickened and outraged that our party has not taken the energy issue up as a huge war club to beat the dirty dems over the head with.
No drilling in the Gulf, Anwar, here, there, no nukes, no this no that, it's all due to irrational views held (and than supported by the Democrats)by a splinter group of one of the worst political parties ever to come down the pike; the demon rats.
For them to sacrifice the health and welfare of a nation in order to hang on to a wacked out splinter/voter group is the absolute height of arrogance!
And for us to ignore it shows our ineptness as a political party. It is absolutely their fault that we are paying $4.00 per gallon for gas and no one else!!
IT is 110% political due to the wacko dem/rat/enviros who are willing to lay down in front of a suburban to save a killer/endangered ant while the rest of us buy gas instead of food.
The RNC is a dismal failure not to use this huge club just sitting over in the corner against the dirty dem/rats over and and over until they are beat into submission on this issue.When will they learn?!!!
You are so right, AB! Bingo! Give that man a contract!
Therein is the bigger part of the problem. The pubbies are so damn scared to take a stand and your example is one fine one that should have had flat-haired, wing-tipped pubbies across the fruited plains on our TV’s and in our faces, proclaiming the value of obtaining oil from our own land.
I don’t care what anyone should say, the American people would support drilling for our own oil enthusiastically and would elect such a proponent in a landslide. It is something we all have in common...being human and being American. We understand pride in self-sufficiency and few of us will roll over and die for the elk allegedly inconvenienced for a steel pipe running through their territory.
And yet....I think the political elite DON’T want to drill in this country. And I don’t think it’s because of the environment or other such cover ups. I think that many in our political elite get funds to run for their offices that give them so much in terms of prestige and money, from the very countries who have so much riding on our inability to drill in our own country.
Yes indeed I do. My own Mike Castle, Delaware’s one and only representative in America’s House, himself voted against drilling in Anwar and I’ll lay you odds of fifty to one that the average Delawarian would support drilling in Anwar ten to one. Mike Castle didn’t represent his constituency is what I’m saying here, no he did not. Mike Castle represented Mike Castle, via George Soros, funder of Main Street Republicans, for which Castle is President. Soros, of course, needs a few pubbies to vote against drilling in America and tada.....quid pro quo.
Yes, they pee upon our feet and tell us it’s raining. They do NOT represent us. They have power and they like it.
The hell with every one of us and our four dollar a gallon gas.
Good morning all - thanks for the thread as usual just getting lunch be back shortly.
When they see signs of weakness they move in for the kill, no different than what we fight in the WOT.Both groups respect only strength in an enemy.
ROTFLMAO !!
Yeah that’s always the problem real life vs. acting.
The Congress is going to remain in Democrat control and they may even get a cloture-proof majority in the Senate. I would rather have McCain to balance out that DemocRat Congress (at least somewhat) than a Hillary or Obama working hand-in-hand with them.

And I agree with you, but the more McCain talks the more he’s telling me that: 1. He fully intends to and 2. He will take great pride in luving up to the Dems in the Senate.
I hope I’m wrong and time will tell. You know what I predict will happen in November? Obama will lose by probably 3 points. McCain will use his victory to claim a mandate for his political philosophy and Conservatives during the coming administration will be even more alienated. (Let’s hope I’m not channeling that profit from ancient Greece, Cassandra. She was one who was correct in her visions, but nobody believed her.) LOL! I hope to heck I’m wrong. I want to make some bucks the next few years and go to Nevis!!!
Great question.
CNN UNReliable sources just went to commercial saying “John McCain addressed the American People last night” portraying McDole’s Saturday Night Live skit as if it were real. A little bias, are we CNN Howard Kurtz?
