Nice cut and paste, though.

McCain–the one-time Maverick–shares most of those same views, and advocates most of those same policies. The current energy crisis is being used as an excuse to give big oil what they’ve been after for years: ANWR and offshore drilling. The fact that it wouldn’t effect our domestic supplies or prices for nearly a decade is totally ignored. Again, a crash alternative energy program that could free us from our dependence on foreign energy within a decade while simultaneously addressing climate change at no additional cost is reduced to a few vague comments. This certainly serves the interests of the oil industry–both domestic and Middle Eastern–but it hardly serves the future of the United States.

People surely aren’t so slow that they’ll miss one obvious truth: McCain policy is a continuation of Bush policy. This is true in the realms of economics, tax policy, international affairs, defence, the domestic social agenda, health care–you name it, it’s all the same. McCain’s voting record–90% in line with Bush policy–clearly demonstrates it. So does his campaign platform.

Which party has been in control of the White House for nearly 8 years? Which party has had a controlling majority of congress until only recently? So, who’s to blame for the war, the economy, the doubled national debt, the 41% decline in the value of the dollar, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the weaking of our regulatory agencies, the rapidly rising unemployment rate? Which party got rid of laws mandating more fuel-efficient automobiles by way of court action? Which has pushed homeland security, while leaving our national borders wide open?

These are the people you’ll vote for in November?

If you were attentive, you may have noticed the emphasis Sarah Palin put upon the power of the presidential veto in a recent speech. If that wasn’t a tip of her hand revealing the cards they intend to play, I don’t know what would be. I figure the republicans have an obstructionist strategy in mind to keep a democratic congressional majority in check for 4 years. If they manage that, considering the present dissatisfaction with congress, we’ll probably see the republicans back in high gear by 2012. Our chance for change will have passed, and along with it the greatness of our nation. That will all be swept away in a tidal wave of unsustainable debt and foreign energy dependence. Our assets will be sold at auction to foreign investors.

Have at it.

Dear Barack –

As a life long Republican… having briefed you in Congress… I’d rather pound my head flat than serve in the “Hope and Change” administration… but thanks for thinking of me.

I’d also point out your name is Barack… not Barrack… or are you so vapid now you can’t remember how to spell your own name.

Sincerely,

Bryan@rightcommentary.com

really, try some new points bot. you seem to peddle a lot of stale stuff here.

HQ is calling you–Soetoro-Obama has a text message for you…

“….help….I’m melting……..”

I wish that were the case. I believe that Colorado will go blue. As for Virginia – it all comes down to if Obama can pull off what Webb and Kaine did – win 70% of Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun county and lose the rest of Virginia by no more than 10% of the vote… If he can do that – he will win Virginia…

I think Obama has a slight advantage in both Colorado and VA… but he will have to fight hard to wrestle the Old Dominion away from the Republican party…

I have to disagree, mostly on gut instinct. My wife, for example, didn’t much care for either candidate, but she is now fascinated with Palin and plans to vote for her. Many women don’t follow politics in the same way men do. In older days, women voted for who their husband supported, as an act of loyalty to him. I hope that is changing as much as I think it is. But still, many women will vote for Palin just because she is a woman, and I don’t blame them one bit. Just as most AA voters feel compelled to vote BO because he’s one of them.

I have seen McCain bumper stickers popping up as well. Surprisingly, on Fri, I saw my first McCain
bumpersticker on a Toyota Prius. Had only seen
Oblowme bumper stickers on Priuses to that point.

The occurrence of Oblowme stickers seems to be
lower than that of Kerry/Edwards in 2004.
Of course, this is anecdotal.

Have seen as many or maybe more McCain stickers
than Bush/Cheney.
