This election is in the bag.

And with bank failures occuring around the country, just wait for the “keating 5″ ads to start running.

Won’t happen. The only people bringing up the Keating Five are the angry kids who know nothing about it except “scandal” and “McCain”.

The reason real pundits and support groups won’t bring it up is that McCain came out smelling like a rose while the other four (all of the Democrats) did not. It will only serve to highlight Democrat folly, which is why no one who matters has brought it up yet.

New McCain ad: “Maybe”

This ad mixes offense with a little defense. It hinges on Obama’s use
of a rather obscure legislative battle over DHL and whether it wound up
costing jobs at all. Factcheck explains the actual issues at……

Obama – Ready to Lie!

“Yes, he can!”

He not only can…..he does.

Obama’s a Noob!

Do you trust a noob with YOUR Money?

Trusting America to a Newbie is dangerous anytime and everytime, but at a time of war…? Unconscionable.

I like it.

Do an internet ad targeted at gamers.

“Obama’s a N00b! Would you let a N00b pilot your spaceship America? I don’t think so!”

You might argue that Obama’s tax plans might hurt the economy

Might? Obama’s tax-n-spend desires, if fully implemented by a willing congress, will cause a depression. Obama insists on punishing the very people and companies that are in a position to invest and create jobs.

Obama is clueless when it comes to all things economic; he wants to raise capital gains taxes as well as many others.

Obama cites “fairness” in raising the capital gains tax; it’s veiled codespeak for “Let’s do it the Marxist way: redistribute wealth from those that earned it to those that did nothing to earn it.”

Let’s put it this way: If Obama were a fireman, and the alarm was sounding for “The US Economy, Main St., USA” he’d arrive with a pumper truck filled with gasoline and say I’m from the federal government and I’m here to help!

If I understand it correctly, Sen. Obama plans to tax 401K’s, and the rumor I heard was 15%. I don’t know about anyone else, but I see little sense in continuing to donate.

Going back to the tax rates of the 1990s doesn’t mean that households will pay 1990s taxes. Because the tax brackets haven’t risen along with incomes, average taxes would be significantly higher, and grow each year.

If the tax cuts expire, income-tax revenues by 2018 will rise to 10.8% of the total economy from 8.7% today – an increase of 24%. Compared to the average over the last 50 years, allowing the rates to rise would increase tax revenues by 32%.

Believe it or not, income taxes will rise even if the tax cuts remain in place, because the revenue-increasing effects of bracket creep more than offset the lower rates. With the lower rates, total income-tax revenues will increase to 9.3% of GDP by 2018. This level is 7% higher than today, and 13% above the 1957-2007 average. Thus even with the tax cuts, revenues will increase by more than enough to fix Social Security.

So even if the tax cuts are made permanent, future Americans will pay a greater share of their incomes to the government than in the past. But for some in Washington, that’s not enough.

Obama will lose every state that Waffles lost, and a few more for bad measure

Then, the knashing of teeth will begin, and the Dems will have their own Night of the Long Knives

Seixon on August 15, 2008 at 5:58 PM

When Bush’s tax cuts expire, bracket creep will move quite a few people into wage groups they weren’t before. Read up on bracket creep and bush’s tax cuts for a little bit different picture.

In a month, everyone will forget Georgia. Maybe less than a month.

DNC will put out ads showing McCain and Bush on the same page, foreign policy wise, and ask “do we want more of the same?” and this is gonna backfire on McCain.

Look, I’m gonna vote for the guy, but I can’t see him winning. And I’m not even sure I want him to win – he’s not the guy who is going to get us a majority in the house or senate nor steer republicans back to fiscal responsibility. He’s just not. I have a feeling that if he’s elected, republicans will look worse than they already do. Because he’s just your average big government guy with a decent foreign policy.

He has come along way with his support of Georgia. McCain’s leadership during this crisis as switch my vote from “voting for McCain because he isn’t BHO” to “voting for him because he has a good forgein policy views” so no change from the actual outcome of my vote but a world of difference in attitude and willingness to work for his election. I’m sure I’m not alone

That’s where McCain’s problem lies and why he’s gonna lose.

lorien1973 on August 15, 2008 at 5:42 PM

If he’s just get off the global warming bull$hit, as well as shore up some other minor problems…McCain has got the job.
