I Feel LIke Voting For Obama
What? Not that I have not said that before, but you have got to admit that his campaign is not making the gaffes and errors that McCain's is.
Case in point: the "Bailout" vote.
The Bailout went down 228-205 in the House. Pelosi made her speech right before the vote and it may or may not have turned off (or the stomachs) of enough GOP members to ditch the proposal. But it did not hinge on the GOP in the first place. And THAT is what the GOP and McCain should have been loudly trumpeting as soon as the vote tanked.
You see, Pelosi can't even run her own Party, let alone get anything passed in the House. Wonder why disapproval of Congress is 90% or better? Consider: how many Democrats did not vote for the proposal ... 95 of them. And Pelosi gives them a pass to spend her venom attacking the GOP members who were already hostile before the bill ever went to the vote. And which Democrats voted against the bill? How about the heads of the Hispanic and Black caucuses? How about 14 California Democrats (there was not enough in the bill to prevent foreclosures) liberals from Pelosi's home state? You can be sure those individuals are on her poop list.
Anyone else? Oh, yes ... just about every Congressperson in a district with a close race. Why? Because about 90% of Americans are against this pig for one reason or another.
McCain only needs to show Pelosi speaking her vile -- and partisan -- lies and distortions with a side bar of actual statistics and truths for even the dumbest brick that might vote. For example, Pelsoi's speech cited "right wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation...." All McCain has to do is play the speech while citing a list of attempts at reform squashed by the Democrats in the last 8 years -- during which Democrats controlled the House. Put Barney Frank's smiling mug up there and cite how he opposed regulation of Fannie and Freddie in 2005 in a bill proposed by McCain. Even a box of oatmeal could understand that the people of the United States are being lied to.
So why isn't McCain out there with commericals pointing out to the elctorate that "THIS" is the face of a Democrat-controlled Congress ... and it would not get better with a Democrat president? All Obama has to recite is McCain = Bush. And the deal is done.
If the incompetence of the GOP is this bad, I think we may be better off voting for a party that will also lie and cheat our foreign enemies -- assuming that they won't all of a sudden roll over an play dead for Ahmadinejad and Putin. Oh, heck ... now I am worried again.
