McCain DRILLS His Speech Into Nowhere



Last night during the RNC, John McCain mentioned drilling for more oil a total of 18 times! While barley mentioning issues concerning poverty or rebuilding of the middle class. I wounder how many more tax breaks for oil companys would he implement IF he was elected into office and how come the middle class would not recieve any prominent tax relief.


"After listening to all the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle-class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation's leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces," Clinton said in the statement. "So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: No way, no how, no McCain-Palin. - CNN"



McCain shows no love for the Middle-Class



Yesterday during the RNC, John McCain failed to mention any issue concerning middle class Americans.

"If you watched the Republican National Convention over the last three days, you wouldn't know that we have the highest unemployment in five years because they didn't say a thing about what is going on with the middle class," Obama told workers at a specialty glass factory.

"They spent a lot of time talking about John McCain's biography, which we all honor," the Illinois senator said. "They talked about me a lot, in less than respectful terms. What they didn't talk about is you and what you're seeing in your lives and what you're going through, or what your friends or your neighbors are going through." - The Associated Press


I guess one would try to argue  WELL THATS WHAT SARAH PALIN IS FOR, but then again....

Tonight, Barack Obama will make his first appearance on Fox News with Bill O'reilly on the O'reilly Factor.
Barack Obama will appear on Fox News with conservative Bill O’Reilly on Thursday, the same night John McCain gives his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here. What a coincidence! - Wall Street Journal: WashingtonWire


This just hours before John McCain gives his acceptance speech tonight during the RNC. Hopefully they'll be able discuss real issues such as Obama's stand on poverty in America and not delve Obama's favorite gangster rapper.
