Unshackle amd unbridal Sarah and send her on the road all over this country where she can be herself and take the fight to the dems.
He nailed it.
I’d just like to hear him blast the government because it created this mess even more so than Wallstreet. Wallstreet is a popular target. I’m still waiting for accountability from Congress and John McCain if he taps into that. Sarah Palin did and people liked it. Luntz’s group when off the charts when she was talking personal responsibility and blasting the government as well as Wallstreet.
It is also Wallstreet’s fault. They do not deserve a pass. Short selling and playing the market like a game of craps certainly didn’t help. They learned to play the system.
WOW, Mark this is great advice for McCain....very well constructed and simple talking points for both McCain and Palin who also has a definite streak of Populist thinking!

Right on target. Beautiful. Clear. Simple. Devastating.
Simple, easy to understand and McCain could do it so easily and still not be as vicious as they have been to him if being respectful is so important. Respect America. Tell the truth.
Not bad. I could only wish this guy were a campaign advisor for Mr. McCain.
The McCain camp won’t listen. John McCain was a foot soldier in the Reagen Revolution. The reason he was a foot soldier is he never understood the battle well enough to be an officer.
He has no private sector experience. He does not understand how the business world works and doesn’t really care. He admits economics is his weak area, which is why the Dems are pressing it so hard. They know he won’t say things he doesn’t believe, and since he does not understand conservative economic policies he won’t espouse them.
He understands congress. He knows what he thinks are the problems in congress. He wants to be president so he can fix congress. Unfortunately, that is not the president’s job. He is to be the chief executive, something McCain is not qualified for.
Look at his positions on taxes. I haven’t heard one thing about simplifying the code. Instead he talks about adding more ‘tax credits’ and ‘tax incentives’. He plans to support the free market by adding more blocks to the 1040. It’s like being a conservative activist judge. It’s an oxymoron. He doesn’t understand that he is trying to use a socialist tool to achieve capitalist goals. It doesn’t work.
I’ll vote for him. I know enough about Obama to be very, very scared. But I think the only hope conservatism has in the near future is a strongly conservative House of Representatives. Today’s vote was not encouraging.
Excellent, plain speak dialog on the issues. Thanks for taking time to provide this information.
What I want to see when a conservative reaches across the aisle to a liberal democrat is a bloody fist coming back with maybe a piece of tooth embedded in a knucle.
“attack attack attack, them, not us!”
In language that McCain understands: Pretend Obama is Mitt Romney or John Cornyn and go from there.
Wow...excellent piece. Thanks for posting it.
Wrong. The liberalized loans at Fannie/Freddie were done by Bill Clinton and Robert Rubin, not congress.

That's bull$hit - Standing up for your principles is what's hard. Compromising them to be "bipartisan" is easy and spineless, and only benefits the other side.
If anyone else suggests a timeline for withdrawal, the correct response is: I never think it's a good idea to let the enemy know exactly when you intend to give up. (courtesy Christopher Hitchens)
Please senator McCain, stop treating the opposition like they are as gentile as yourself and Cindy. They are pond scum and you must respond accordingly.
McCain, between reaching out to the other side, praising Democrats and his abysmal communications people will never hear a word of this excellent advice. And even if they did they’d attack it or ignore it.
McCain says he’s for the average American, and I believe he believes this. But he, like almost all national politicians, it TOTALLY out of touch with average Americans.
I’d wager cash that neither he nor anyone on his staff has ever heard of FreeRpublic.com.
Average, responsible, tax paying Americans are invisible today. The only people that matter are minorities, environmentalists and lobbyists and PACs that pony up cash in Washington. If you don’t belong to one of those groups you are only useful as a money source.
