Only One Jobs Report Left Before Election

[SwingVoter]

And the only things worse than yesterday's report were Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's weak explanations for it.

McCain has to do more to sound convincing on his economic plan, right now he sounds like he'd rather talk about Iraq.

I don't think we'll hear much from Sarah Palin on the matter either too. She didn't mention the term "middle class" in her convention speech once.

McCain will hide her, bring her out here and there to repeat a few of his talking points, send her out to the debate, and pray that nobody asks her a tough question or two.

I can hardly wait for her to debate Biden on foreign policy.

She doesn't know shit about anything outside of Alaska.

Hey Kirk----guess what--the economy isn't Palins responsibility. They don't have to answer for shit.

McCain and his campaign won't be discussing the major issues because they feel this is an election about personalities, not issues. The economy isn't one of McCain's stronger selling ponts anyway. According to the bleak economic news I'm reading it isn't one of the Republican party either.

Let me tell you something...the Republicans have been running their campaigns about personalities for one hell of a long time.

The last Republican who didn't was Reagan, and he ran on the platform that the terrible economy was ALL CARTER'S FAULT.

Most of the campaigns I can remember in my lifetime were mostly about the ECONOMY.

And while I am inclined to agree with you who remind us that the POTUS does NOT control all aspects of the American and world economies, McCain certainly does NOT want to remind people about the economic cicumstances they currently find themselves in.

Why?

Because like it not, when things are bad in the economy, the party in power gets the blame.

I do NOT think O can solve the problems of the economy.

I merely think he will not make it WORSE, like I think McCain might do, what with his continuation of tax cuts for billionaires and his apparently hawkish ways that might lead us into a THIRD land war in Asia.

I have no illusions about Obama solving things so fundamental to our economy.

I simply understand that on the margins a POTUS CAN make a difference, and with the help of Congress and the people, a wise POTUS can begin to turn things around.

McCain show no interest in turning ANYTHI(NG around.

He's quite content with things as they are.

Those of us in the middle class (defined as those making less than$5,000,000 a YEAR? according to Senator John --what-planet-does-he- live-on? McCain really do need to ask ourselves if we want a guy so obviously out of touch with our lives as McCain clearly is.

McCain is clearly a disciple of "Republican Free Market" theory. That is to say that the government should stay out of economics entirely and let an economic "free-for-all" go on. The only the Government interaction is in controlling the monetary supply. This allows the economically advantaged to take advantage of the economically disadvantaged in any way they would like. The only time government should interevene is when the "Free Market" backfires on the wealthy and major financial institutions collapse. Then suddenly a government bailout is in order. Socialism for the wealthy. Underlying it all is the belief in an extremely classful society where the wealthy are protected and everyone else be damned.

In short: goverment for the wealthy and by the wealthy. McCain has no economic plan because the wealthy are doing rather well right now. He'll bail out all the Keatings in the world when the time comes.

The Democrats seem to believe in Keynesian theory combined with "Fair Market Theory". That the "General Welfare" clause of the U.S. Constitution makes it the responsibility of the Government to somewhat manage the economy for the benefit of the entire people of the U.S., that financial crisises can be prevented thru judiciuos regulation, taxation, government spending and controlling the monetary supply. While a "Free market" allows for blatant theivery, a fair market protects everyone.

If Government had acted to stop the sub-prime mortgage scam (and yes it was a scam - bait and switch - with they intention of the home owners defaulting from the beginning), there would have been no crises.

The Dems have lots of economic plans because they believe that such is the responsibilty of the Government. McCain has no economic plans because he simply does not believe that it is the government's responsibilty.

But McCain doesn't have the gonads to publicly state what he truly believes: Damn the working class.

I knew, I absolutely KNEW, that when Communist Russia collapsed, it would be hard on the American working class.

You want to know why they've said to hell with Americans, sport?

Because they don't need us anymore to be their bodyguards.

NOW, they don't need to delude us about being free men.

Now they can treat us with the same contempt they have been treating peasants worldwide since the late 19th century.

Our libertopian chums are going to discover what it means to live in a world where money talks and governments balk, and many of them are going to be surprised how easily they can be replaced by some cheaper smarter hungrier third worlder.

The dismantling of the American middle class is about half done/

And it won't be until the average American worker is as hungry and as desperate as the third world workers are that this process of bankrupting the national government and the people of America will be over.

World-wide Neo-feudalism is their goal, and we're but a generation or so from that velvet glove coming completely off.

White mddle class Americans?

We don't need them now, we've got Mexicans, and Chinamen and eventually we'll robots to serve us in the MASTER CLASS.

Oh yeah, barring unforeseeable events, it's coming folks.

You lawyers?

Folks, I think you're next on the neo-cons' hitlist of annoying people they need to neuter.

They've silence the fourth estate by taking ownerhsip of it all; they've destroyed public education; they broke unionism all to hell, they're been eliminating the industrial class workers nearly my entire life; universities either fly right or never get any of the largess of the government, university professors who say the wrong things never get tenure anymore, many of them can't even find work anymore; the medical establishment is being allowed to help them setroy the scoial service safety net, but as soon as that's done, they've seeded the ground with their own destruction; they OWN every police force in thenation, now thanks to HSA and other ffederal programs; they're sitting back and watching one state government after the other go broke trying to take us the slack they've put into social services...

What the hell is left?

A load of noble sounding slogans and of course, the right we all have to bear arms which is, without a doubt, going to be completely worthless to helping us keep our way of life.

But hey, I'm not bitter or anything.

This is how the elite classes have destroyed expensive empires that they no longer needed for a mighty long time.

They use that empire to fund the next and they leave the people of that empire with the debts.

It's called ATLAS SHRUGGING
