Pity Party over. Time to fight

Ok, we’ve passed the bailout. Can we stop getting along now and fight back? I’ll admit I’ve been a bit down lately due to the reality of the numbers. Typically these numbers are in concrete this late in the election. Typically, who ever pulls away in October wins. However, who can say this is a typical year. It’s anything but. No one knows anything about Obama other than he’s black and the messiah. It is time to start educating people on this guy as fast as we can.
Palin started Thursday with a very admirable debate run. I think she won it on style and drew it on points. Neither hurt the other, but what Palin did do was stem the bleeding. Now she’s out pointing out Obama’s shady past. Maybe, just maybe, the campaign can turn this around.
The bailout is over and the market will shake it. We can get on with other issues now and deal with the louts who did the bailout stuff to us later. We need to remind everyone that while Obama was sending secret letters to people about this problem, McCain actually submitted bills to stop it. He was shot down by the democrats. And contrary to the people trying to say otherwise, it WAS forcing banks to lend money to people who should never have had loans that caused it. That’s why it’s the SUBPRIME crisis and not the rich people going broke crisis.
Let’s go 527’s. Let’s get to Obama’s record in Illinois and his infant born alive views. Let’s get to the Chicgo Amherst Project where Obama was able to get very wealthy at the same time 150 million dollars “mysteriously” disappeared. No wonder he won’t release those records. These are the fun things. Let’s get to them.
Oil and gas are still our issues. Press them. Palin negotiated an international pipeline to deliver natural gas to the lower 48. She did so by crushing the American oil companies who were given sweetheart deals by her predecessor. She has balanced budgets, she has fought corruption. Obama embraces corruption. He embraces criminals. It’s time to expose him.
I started in church this morning when some congregants were discussing Tina Fey and her Palin protrayals. One remarked “it’s too be we can’t get Fey instead. She seems to be more intelligent than Palin.” To which I leaned in and said “and yet Palin is more qualified than Obama” and brought the discussion to a crashing halt.
Palin is more qualified than Obama. Let them know that. McCain is a million times more qualified than Obama. Shout it out. We have 4 weeks and our pity party is officially over. Time to get moving!

Well with McCain pulling out of Michigan and poll numbers looking bad in Minnesota and Ohio, I would say the GOP has a reason to pout.

Exactly Chris. Remind them that Barry is acting qualified at best.

Good, that’s the spirit! Like I said earlier, to hell with the polls, they’re almost never right and have too many biases built it to most of them anyhow.
Ok, while on the subject, can someone recommend a good site that has some sort of organized data about Obama, like time lines, connections and such? It gets really tiresome sometimes trying to track down all that different info, surely there’s a decent clearinghouse for such things on the web someplace.

Why not try johnmccain.com, if he isn’t saying it now that he is losing, then it must have NO credibility.

Bambi is so confident in winning that he is pulling the gullible and the homeless in for an “Ohio Quickie”. WOW! that’s confidence. So now Bambi plans on bringing up the Keating Five which McCain was exonerated of very early on but the Gullible will enjoy.
I would like to remind Bambi that most of us are not victims and that this economy made him a millionaire–or was it his ties with Rezko, Ayers and his Pastor of Disaster.

I get the feeling that there isn’t a lot of enthusiasm from the Republican base for McCain. I’m not sure your people realize the priorities of this election situation Beth. As for my end in the battle ground states… people need seriously to understand the economics of things. There is serious sarcasm on patriotism… it is impossible to win that way. Bush Sr. won in Iraq and lost the economic argument… only to have Clinton reap the benefits of the oil price drop. I hate to see history repeat itself, but people need to understand how important fiscal conservatism is at an economic cusp. We can argue about healthcare another time when the economy is working… till then we don’t need someone chasing away jobs…. jobs… jobs… I need a damn job.

McCain really screwed the pooch here in Michigan with his campaign pullout. That fiasco is going to be measured in lost Republican house seats (in all likelihood we’re going to lose Knollenberg, McCotter, and possibly Miller as well).
He’s 8 points down in the polls right now. Before this collapse we were looking at 8 likely Senate losses. Now the bottom might really drop out.
I’m loath to say that it’s time to write a post-mortem on this, but we might want to consider 2010 and beyond. We need to do essentially what the Dems did in ‘04, consider where we are losing these elections, concede certain issues, and build our party on the grounds that work for us. It sounds unseemly, but the Dems have essentially rebuilt their party in the red states by giving up on gun control, abortion, and gay rights. Republicans might want to consider some issues we shrug and give up on to rebuild our party in the blue states. Bitter pill to swallow, but this election is about to ram it down our throats.
