John McCain has admitted that the economy isn't his strong suit, what would be worse for America is if he continued the failed Bush economic policies. And that's just what a new DNC ads points out.
Joe Biden starts things off:
There's not one fundamental economy issue, on which John McCain has challenged George Bush or his policies.
But wait, you'll say, he's a Democrat. Well, what to you hear what McCain's own backers say:
George Stephanopoulos:Sen. Grahm, John McCain is calling for an extension or maybe even an enhancement of the Bush policies.
Phil Grahm (let's not forget he said the economy was just fine and that America was a nation of whiners): Yeah, absolutely.
Liz Cheney: I think on the really important issues that face the country, on issues like the war on terror and the economy, Sen. McCain in fact is advocating those policies that those of us who supported Pres. Bush and the VP believe are the right ones for this issue.
There's more, but let's go to the I loved the part where Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) fails to offer a single difference between McCain and Bush on the economy. He keeps uh-ing and aw-ing ... and then says "I'm drawing a blank, here."
Sanford finally brings up NAFTA, but Wolf Blizter corrects him, and Sanford admits he was just "bringing up a point," and "what you'd want is consistency with regard to that position."
So, in other words, nothing, no difference.
Considering which administration's eight year policy brought us to the brink of global recession, can we afford --- and I mean our wallets --- to have a continuation of these failed policies? I'd hope the answer is no.
Oh, and for those who will say, "but Congress was controlled by the Democrats," yeah, right. Because of filibusters, 51-49 in the Senate is nothing. And because most, both Democrat and GOP, will vote the party line rather than their own conscience (something many have said the Founders did foresee), an override of a veto is nearly impossible.

#1 Obama's Links To Radicals & Terrorist Concerns Me More
I'm not voting for Obama as you might well have figured out by the title. And I don't believe most others would vote for him if the main stream media has been doing its job. The reason I'm not voting for him is because of his linkage to radicals and terrorist. And I'm just not talking about the Ayers connection. The one that concerns me the most is his affiliation with Raila Odinga, a radical from Kenya. It would take forever to fully explain it but I will post a link to a website that has a accurate description of the linkages. The title is: Barack Obama & Raila Odinga - Just Another Terrorist From The Hood - The website link is: http://www.thexreport.com - There are also some video's that accompany the story at the bottom.
