Make the lie big, make it simple

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

John McCain, in a recent interview, said that when the troops return from Iraq is not important. He also said "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should." After 8 years of W Bush's incompetence, can we afford John McCain's? Working Americans voted against their self-interest to put Mr. Bush in the Presidency, will they do the same for Mr. McCain?

In 2000, the Republicans were handed control of the Presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Supreme Court. The results of that control has been a disastrous war in Iraq costing the soul of this country, 4,000 American lives and more than 30,000 wounded Americans. A barrel of oil is $140 and gasoline $4 a gallon. Unemployment is 5.5%, the highest in over 20 years. A surplus built by Democrats has been squandered and we now have a $400 billion deficit. Oil companies are raking in record profits.

Will voters be motivated by emotion substituted for thought, fear, ignorance or propaganda? Will working Americans vote their self interest come November, or be fooled again?
