14 days to go. I just read this AFP {France version of the AP} article and I had to double check the date. It really was written on Monday 23, 2006. Here is why I had to double check. The article is entitled, "Values-minded US parties miss mark with voters" , is talking about family values.
"Republican and Democratic candidates in upcoming US congressional elections are campaigning hard on family values but may be missing their target as the economy and Iraq war have voters on edge.
Republicans saw "family values" -- such as banning late-term abortion and defending "traditional" marriage between men and women -- as one of their keys to victory in 2004.
But with the November 7 vote approaching, the family values issue took a distant sixth place in October polls by USA Today/Gallup and CNN, behind concerns such as the Iraq war, the war on terror and the economy."
OK. They are going to talk about the fact that the election is about issues. Man was I wrong. They say that the Republicans can no long "own family values" because of FOLEY... Foley is STILL in the news? Then here is when I had to look again at the date,
"People are fundamentally struggling, because they're having to pay higher property taxes, they're paying more in tuition, they're paying more for gasoline, and so the family values translate very much into what's making it harder for them to raise their own families," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Luis Miranda."
What? Higher property tax? Paying more for gas? It goes on to say basically how the Republicans have blown it, there need to be a change, Blah, blah, blah. It’s just another incorrect Bush attack. It is all his fault after all.
How is the economy? Well their sister outlet, the AP says,
"Wall Street extended its October rally Monday as investors grew more confident about upcoming earnings reports and as a decline in oil bolstered hopes for higher consumer spending. The Dow Jones industrials crossed 12,100 for the first time and reached a new record high close.
Dow component Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which pleased investors by announcing plans to cut capital spending to improve profits, helped the blue chips to their new high. The Dow's record came just three trading days after its first move past 12,000."
WAIT!!! The evil Wal-Mart helped do this?
"The price of oil, which fell to lows for the year Friday from its mid-July highs, is making investors more bullish on sectors like retail, which will benefit if consumers have more spending money. Doubts that OPEC members would follow Saudi Arabia's lead to curb output pushed a barrel of light sweet crude lower by 52 cents to $58.81 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
"The picture being painted is pretty easy to suggest that the pressure on the economy from higher oil prices is easing," said Richard E. Cripps, chief market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus.
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, said it will be more selective about where it will open stores, though it still plans 600 new locations next year. The retailer, which has been pushed by Wall Street to be more prudent in its expansion, was the Dow's biggest advancing stock.
The company said in a meeting with investors that it plans to bring costs in line with a slowdown in its sales and earnings growth. The move is expected to boost return on investment, and sent shares up $1.91, or 3.9 percent, to $51.28."
Yes folks, the economy is terrible. Bush and those evil Republicans messed it all up. Look at the deficient. You mean the one that has been cut in halve THREE YEARS EARLY because of Bush’s tax cuts? We are fighting a war you know.
Truth is simple. The LWL attack lines have been done away with. Their ammo has run out. People are SICK of hearing Foley, economy is terrible, we are losing the war, time for a change, {With NOTHING to compare to.} and the constant, and organized attacks but news agencies that claim to be un-biased. Yet fail to hold the Democrats accountable for nothing.
I really have to wonder. I mean this. They, the Mass Media Drones, and the LWL have thrown EVERYTHING into getting in power. Let’s just say for a second, maybe they were wrong? Maybe the American people are smarter than they think, and they lose. What are they going to do then? After the lawsuits, recounts, accusations of the election being stolen yet again, faulty voting machines, not enough voting machines, blocked access to polling stations, whatever, what are they going to do? How will the vast majority ever trust the MMD to be un-bias agin?
Now Nancy Pelosi can "pledge" "No impeachment" all she wants. We all know that they have subpoenas ready to go. They already have a plan for impeachment. They have even written books on it. This IS their main goal. She can talk about God and her family being very pro-life. {No kidding folks} But we all know that she is VERY pro-choice. Even voted against the law that protects under-aged girls from being forced to go across state lines and have an abortion without Parental Notification. She can talk about how modest she is but,,,well, here,,
Eleanor Cliff asked "How do you get more of who you are across?"
Pelosi says,
"Somebody said to me recently that modesty is a private virtue and a public vice. You have to self-promote at some point, and that’s probably the hardest part of this job for me. But if we win, I think it won’t be so hard. The spotlight will be there. I’ve just got to do the job I do with the respect I have from my colleagues—they know how impressive I am."
How impressive I am? Spotlight? You get the point. She can already taste the power. But what if she loses? Yet, the MMD and the LWL continue their course. I feel they should be careful though, they may have already, passed the point of no return.
Merely 14 days to go. Get ready. Go vote.
