Senator McCain's attacks won't work this time around, because the American people are FED UP, have tuned out of FAUX NEWS and have tuned into CNN for "fair and balanced" reliable coverage.
Senator McCain's attacks won't work this time around, because the American people are hurting, worried about their economical situation and understand that with a McCain/Palin administration they will most DEFINITELY have another 4 years of the last 8 with a president who admits that he doesn't even understand the economy, which is vital right now. McCain proclaims his 4 more years of Bush economics and the partial cause of the economic mess we are in now watch John's own testimonial here Look there, there it comes directly from his own mouth!
Senator McCain's attacks won't work this time around, because although painful to recognize, America is not a perfect country. There are people who are frustrated with the government and frown on what it has done in the past and still in the present. There are people who are not living the American dream because of blatant inequality, corporate greed, an an unfair, broken system. They understand that when Senator Obama moved from his privileged lifestyle in Hawaii with wonderful, loving, white grandparents to a less than privileged life with an unforgiving and unfamiliar minority makeup on the south side of Chicago where he was viewed as "the outsider", that America was less than perfect, less than what he grew to understand about this great country. He understood that SOMETHING WAS WRONG in this segment of America and imagined that the same could be found all over this country of ours. That something needed to be fixed and to fix the deep rooted problems, he needed the power to do so, and that power could only be found in the highest office of the land.
Americans are not so naive and stupid to believe that Senator Obama wants to attain this power to hurt us, and has associated with people who frown down on America as motivation to hurt us. He bravely entered unchartered and honestly scary territory and decided that ALL people deserve to be understood, deserve to be given a chance at the same dream that he has had. It takes a brave man with leadership qualities to do that, to say no to a high paying salary with the elites to take a low paying ones with the so called "undesirables." He is ONE OF US, he is a common America and has bravely chosen that path. What all of that has done, has made him more empathetic and more down to our level of struggle to actually "GET IT." He "gets it" can you imagine John McCain down in the ghetto working with youth trying to understand, help and..."get it." No, I'm sure he would take that higher salary position among the elites. The American people understand that it's because Senator Obama HAS come in contact with and have gotten to know these angry as well as less fortunate people, that there is more to America than meets the eye. That America is broken and needs to be fixed from someone who was brave enough to look at the more undesirable aspect of it. Someone who has come out of his comfort zone and immersed himself in the true makeup of America. The diverse and not so free makeup of American society.
The American people know what is at stake here, and realize that it will be a missed opportunity for restructuring of a broken system, for affordable and equal health care for all Americans, for a chance at a wonderful education for our children, for equal pay for equal work, for pro choice freedom for women, for a fair head start minimum wage that will be competitive in a market that is becoming more and more expensive by the day, for tax breaks so that we can afford to live the American dream and keep our homes. No, the American people will get it right. I have faith in them.
So, no the McCain attacks won't work this time around, the American people have had ENOUGH of the misconstruing, the misleading, the misinterpreting, the manipulating of circumstances. The American people have had ENOUGH of politics as usual and are ready to be lead by the true leader who by evidence is choosing to put "Country First" and that is Senator Barack Obama!
Are you saying that America is not perfect? Are you saying that there is a world out there beyond our borders that we must recognize that we are a part of? You, sir or madam, must be a Terrorist and are dangerous.

I completely agree that Americans are worried about their economic situation. These are the same people who go to a doctor when they are ill and take their car to a mechanic when it breaks down. So when it comes to the economy, they should stop blindly following political ideology and consult the professionals - the economists.
Economists have analyzed the economic impact of both Obama's and McCain's economic plans, and over 300 economists (based on the July press release, which has now increased to 530 economists according to The Economist) have endorsed McCain's economic plan.
If voters' main concern is the economy, and for many people it is, McCain's economic plan is the clear winner.
You are living underneath a shell. If that is so, then why would he proclaim that he doesn't understand the economy, think it's fundamentally sound along the lines of President Bush!

And after 8 years of very badly played fear mongering from the current so called conservative administration, the 'fear' card is being trumped on a regular basis by reason and the understanding that fear is all the repukes* have had for the last 8 years.
* NOTE: I refer to them a repukes, as they have no resemblance to a true republican or conservative in any manner, with the exception they call themselves republicans.

Stop kidding yourself!
You didn't read the economists' statement, did you? There's over 300 signatures on the economists' statement endorsing McCain's economic plan (July press release), and that number is up to 530 now according to The Economist.

Americans are worried about the economy and unfortunately, as in the case of Obama, they haven't really done their research or they would not be blaming John McCain.
Obama has been given a free pass by the media. Imagine a Republican candidate with little or no political resume and ties to the likes of Ayers, al-Mansour, Wright, Pfleger, Rezko....in Obama's case, he's done little or nothing politically but has this long list (the ones I have listed above are few of the most well-known) of connections to many with questionnable character.
