SOCIALISM, APPEASEMENT & SURRENDER BUSTING DOWN THE DOOR

Can McCain win? He better

Jimmy Z

The first thing I want to do is encourage everyone again, whatever your spiritual stripe, to pray for this country. God is still in charge, and whatever we face in November is something that God Himself allows. That being said, His influence can change things dramatically as we approach the coming months. Prayer is key in this election cycle, because our country is facing a threat from within. It is not hyperbole to suggest that Barack Obama is the most left of any candidate to attempt to win the Presidency. I pray we do not see that occur.

John McCain is our opposing candidate. It is clear to me that while McCain is not much of a desirable candidate, he is an infinitely better choice than the leftist Obama.

The danger we face in this election is not so much that McCain might lose, but that Obama may actually win. Our job, and McCain’s, is not to tout the reasons why McCain would be a good President. That’s a short list at best. In fact, the argument that ‘McCain would be a good President because...’ is a loser.

On the democrat side, the list of reasons why Barack Obama would be a good President is equally uninspiring. Barack Obama is not running on his record -  he has none. What Barack is doing is running against the two Bush terms and he’s had 8 years of help from the vast left wing drive-by media to make his fraudulent case for him. Gasoline prices, and the growing economic concerns, couldn’t be timed more perfectly for Mr. Obama. People are worried and fed up, and they’re willing to vote for anyone other than the party in power.

The task before us is clear: Our job is to inform the electorate. The majority of voters are ignorant. Douglas wrote a great piece earlier today in which he showed that while voters believe congress is doing a terrible job, they are willing to vote for the party who is running congress.  Purely idiotic, this is the result of ignorance on a scale so massive it boggles the mind.

What John McCain must do is campaign not on how good (mediocre) he himself is, but how bad Barack Obama is. McCain must take Mr. Obama’s views and positions and dissect them one by one. Mr. Obama is not likely to engage in a one on one town hall-styled debate, so McCain is going to have to shred each of his leftist positions one at a time, on television, in commercials.

There are plenty of topics McCain can excel on, but he (and we) are going to have to do the educating. Two come to mind: Taxation and health care funding for illegal aliens.

McCain is hardly likely to speak out against funding health care for 12 million plus illegal aliens and their families (with more family members set to arrive the moment such health care is funded), but he ought to. Americans have no interest in paying for illegal aliens to get American health care, especially when so many Americans cannot afford their own health care insurance. This is a flat out winner for McCain.

On taxes, I would have to think only the most brain dead liberals think that raising taxes anywhere is a good idea considering the shape that the economy is in today. Barack has backed off of his tax increase talk, and he’s been talking more lately about his tax breaks for the working class.  Forget that he cannot cut taxes enough for the working class to feel it; the working class pay a nearly insignificant share of federal taxes anyway.

So McCain needs to outline for the American people how Mr. Obama’s tax increases on the ‘wealthy’ will play out for Americans. McCain must illustrate graphically how these tax increases will shut down the economy, and why many more people will lose jobs. McCain then must make his case for cutting taxes even more, and why that will increase federal tax revenue and begin moving the economy in the right direction. This is another flat out winner for McCain.

There are also many key events still yet to happen in the campaign that will affect this election. The two candidates will likely meet for some kind of debate. McCain needs to be strong and point out what’s wrong with Mr. Obama’s philosophies. If there are no debates, McCain needs to be outraged and make Americans outraged.

The conventions will tell us a lot about America and how left she is willing to go.  And the choosing of the running mates will have an enormous impact on the race; in fact, there is no other more important decision before John McCain. His running mate can win it for him if chosen wisely.

Friends, I remain optimistic -  not so much because there is a stockpile of reasons to be so, but because I refuse to live in a state pessimism. We have our work to do, you and I. The new media is where this race is going to be won or lost, I believe, and we are in the thick of it. Be of good cheer, as Sean Hannity likes to say, because if we remain on God’s side, God will watch out for this land of liberty. Now let’s get to work.
