The Republican Record: pass it on!
September 18, 2008 | Vetting explained
if you agree with this post feel free to add to it, edit it, and repost it. Its time to start talking about the '800 pound gorilla' in the room or should I say elephant!
There are two components of a vote. What you are voting for and what you are voting against. Would someone please tell the Obama Campaign to stop running against McCain/Palin and start running against the Republicans!
I am not voting for McCain because I am not voting Republican! They get an "F" in government and they broke my trust!
It is not enough to just use slogans like "more of the same" or "four more years" because Americans are so forgiving and forgetful they don't know what the same is. So articulate it. Make Republicans accountable for their record. Use the last 8 years like a cross is to vampires. Remind Americans everyday that it was:
Republicans who nominated Bush and McCain.
Republicans who squandered a budget surplus.
Republicans who could not bring Osama Bin Ladden to Justice.
Republicans who allowed Hurricane Katrina to devastate our citizens.
Republicans who impeached a president for lying about his personal life. But had no scruples about lying to get us into a war.
Republicans who doctored the intelligence.
Republicans who want to spy on its citizens without consequences.
Republicans who gave us Roberto Gonzalez..
Republicans who electrocuted Americans in Iraq.
Republicans who have made it unpleasant to travel.
Republicans who allowed 9/11(yeah I don't care what's the excuse, On who's watch pal?)
Republicans who had no plans after marching into Baghdad and let the place get looted.
Republicans who gave us the Abu Greb embarrassment in Iraq.
Republicans who not only want to defend democracy they want to spread it by unethically attacking countries.
Republicans who have tarnished America's image and leadership abroad.
Republicans who have given us $4.00 gas prices which were $1.25 when they won the white house 8 years ago.
Republicans who spent money like drunken sailors for the last 8 years.
Republicans who watched the housing market crumble.
Republicans who have given us a 6.2% unemployment rate.
Republicans who gave out no bid contracts to Haliburton and friends.
Republicans who declared "mission accomplished" but then it wasn't?
Republicans who have let the value of the dollar weaken.
The list could go on and on... so help me out!
Don't let this election degrade into a referendum on Obama's experience or McCain's alleged ability to change Washington. Don't let Joe Lieberman fool you. If there is one thing McCain proved with his VP pick it's that he is definitely a Republican.
So, the simple question of this election is: After the last 8 years, who do you trust to get us out of this mess America? Republicans or Democrats?
