What should be McCain's RECURRING message?

The McCain team should saturate the airwaves with the question, "Are you better off now than you were TWO years ago, when the DEMOCRATS took over Congress (the purse strings)?"

It's remarkable that McCain never mentions this important fact, especially since the pollsters and pundits continue to gloat that McCain is behind because of the "eight years of the failed Bush economic policies."

Repeating this question would not only remind people that the Democrats have been the majority during that time, but also that Obama and Biden personify the 9% approval rating the American people give Congress.

'What should be McCain's RECURRING message?'

My friends, my fellow Americans. You know me. I've spent my life fighting for you. Sometimes I did it, knowing it wouldn't make me popular. But I felt it was the right thing to do, and I don't apologize for my convictions. My love for this country, this way of life, this belief that we are the greatest, most generous, most hopeful of any human civilizations that have ever arisen in history, has put me in harm's way without any personal reluctance or hesitation. Forty years ago, I found myself at the mercy of one of the most heinous, repressive scourges that modern humanity has ever come into conflict with. It was a hive-minded dogma that considered individuals nothing more than a worker ant, an expendable piece of a soulless authoritarian machine. Forty years later, we now confront the essence of this oppressive ideology that has reared it's head in our lives and our homes once again. It has done so by twisting our God-given and Constitutional rights of freedom of speech and right of assembly to issue falsehoods and propaganda while suppressing any dissenting opinion; it has reinterpreted our right to defend ourselves and to be free and enjoy personal liberty by permitting The State intrude into our homes, confiscate our arms, and impose suffocating levies against our wages. It has fostered and nutured the basest of man's impulses into a stuggle against each other. I ask you now, my friends - help us help each other by taking back the America that our parents knew. That we knew. That we know has always been there. Let us truly move forward knowing that our common intent will not only strengthen and enrich ourselves, but we will be handing our children - and all those who follow them - the most magnificent gift that our human spirit selflessly defended.

McCain has to promote a message of sound, conservative fiscal policy, peace through strength, and tie the current fiscal debacle deservedly around the necks of Obama and his Dem pals. It wouldn’t hurt to bring up Obama ‘s lack of experience and deep ties to leftist radicals and out and out anti-America haters. Hammer those four things.

I think that having a president who can use the military properly, honorably, is a positive. McCain is pro-life - a positive. McCain has impeccable morals - a positive. McCain probably won’t go more socialist than he already has, and if you know anything about politics, you fake left and go right if you’re a republican. That’s the conventional wisdom, and i think its a bad idea - I think he could win by plain old conservatism, but hey, he doesn’t, what’s a fella gonna do.
