“Do you want to keep it and invest it in your future, or have it taken by the most liberal person to ever run for the Presidency, and the Democratic leaders who have been running Congress for the past two years — Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?”
The above is a statement made today by Presidential Nominee, John McCain.
Hey, John, I'm not sure where you've been the past eight years, but just in case you weren't aware, people in the US don't exactly have much money to invest anymore. The country owes more money now than it did when the first Bush was in office, the jobless rate is increasing exponentially, and outsourcing has never been higher or more prevalent.
Also, you cannot expect the people of this country (
those with working cerebellums anyway) to actually believe that the Democrats having minimal control of the house and senate have something to do with the tax guzzling wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the failed banking system (
which the Republicans only helped along by not passing regulatory measures in 2005), or the low approval ratings of Republicans nationwide... can you?
I know you've only been a senator for a couple of decades, but just in case you weren't aware, the house and senate need a much larger majority than they have in order to get certain measures passed, and even when they do, they still need the approval of the President who, just in case you might have missed it, is a Republican.
So sure, you might want to blame the Democrats for the way the current state of economic turmoil this country is in, but remember that while you're pointing one finger at us, three more are pointing right back at you. And this, "my friend", is from a real American citizen, who isn't a six-pack of silver bullets or boxed wine drinking voter. Which brings me to my last point, why is it that everyone who seems to be "Pro-America" a.k.a. McCain/Palin is always referred to as Alcohol-related Somebody? If you need to be chemically altered in order to be able to agree with their policies, perhaps it's time to put down the Franzia and start drinking a little H2O because you're going to need a clear head in order to vote for the right candidate.
I saw this. Heard this. I fell down when I heard the "most liberal person" comment. WTF.
I totally get the desperation and the need to throw cheap jabs, considering the source, but DAMN.
