The Palin effect is wearing off, she is being hammered in every corner of our so called impartial media. To be honest she has not delivered the same type of fight in her interviews that she did at the convention. Not her fault but the truth is her initial effect is wearing off and McCain fumbled the economy ball by not attacking the Democrats as the cause of this mess. If he wants to stick to his tax and earmark theme he needs to expalin HOW it works and contrast that to Obama’s.
Nobody cares about earmarks now.
After last week, every Joe Schmoe knows that we are about about to create a $700,000,000,000 unsecured credit line to Wall St, and so the number like 10 or 20 bln in annual earmarks no longer sounds impressive.
This talking point must go, or at least be deemphasized.
Darn right! I get really irritated with conservatives who see everything on our end through rose colored glasses and automatically lampoon everything the enemy is doing instead of paying attention. This is not the 1984 or 1988 election. This isn’t even the 1992 election, but you’re getting warmer if you think it is. The left is treating this like the 1980 election. We cannot afford having the Democrats in control, but we cannot afford another ineffectual Republican running for the presidency either.
