HAs anyone been watching the race for Prez? Have you noticed the latest polls? McCain and the Big O are just about even! That does not fair well for the darling of the media. His star is fading. Why you may ask? Just click on to my commentary a few weeks ago on how McCain can win and How O will lose.... Let me give you one more McCain strategy...if you are reading John....
Throw GWB under the bus! I know it sounds terrible but the last surefire way to win is distance yourself from the negatively received aspects of Pres. Bush's policies - specifically..... energy, immigration, spending and regulatory efforts in the US financial institutions.
Energy - Simply put -- "Drill Here and Drill NOW!!" The American people are worn down by the price of oil and everything attached to petro products -- which is everythingt! Even food goes up with high oil because it takes gas to transport the food to the market and the consumer pays the ticket! Bush has failed to give us an agressive and comprehensive policy on energy and has failed to fight for complete US independence from foreign oil. McCain gets up and says... "The President has failed to give us a comprehesive plan for energy....here is my plan....I say we drill now on US soil and stop allowing the world from gouging us at the pump!" Add 5 points to his lead on the Big O!
Immigration - Bush has failed at sealing the borders, punishing any business owner who employees illiegals and round up those here without permission. Yes these are people and they all have a story -- but if they are in our country without legal means -- they are criminals and anyone assisting them are co-conspirators to a crime! McCain gets up and says...."The President has failed at fully securing the borders and forcing those wanting in our country to do it the legal, fair and safe manner -- here is my comprehensive plan to do that!" Add another 5 oints to his mounting lead!
Economy - Bush has failed to shut down the drunken sailor like spending in Washington. Every American understands what onald reagan said in 1981 - "The government must start living like every citizen must - live within its means and spend no more then they take in." McCain stands up and says..."Bush has failed us in not watching the piggy bank....too many programs have been funded with US dollars and itmust stop and the answer is not to tax more or punish the American people. We must stop it now or we will send the country into the poor house. Programs will cease to exist. Hand outs will stop. Pet projects of senators and congressmen will go away. But the US will be solvent again financially." McCain will shoot up another 5 points and the BIG O will be dead and finsihed.
So Mr. McCain do you have the courage to say what needs to be said and assure yourself of a victory? The American peo[ple are ready -- are you?
