While the election race is on it is important to keep up on how the wingnuts see it. You’ll have to live with them no matter what’s the outcome.
Washington Times did an interview with the now again maverick John McCain:
Sen. John McCain on Wednesday blasted President Bush for building a mountain of debt for future generations, failing to pay for expanding Medicare and abusing executive powers, leveling his strongest criticism to date of an administration whose unpopularity may be dragging the Republican Party to the brink of a massive electoral defeat.
"We just let things get completely out of hand," he said of his own party’s rule in the past eight years.
In an interview with The Washington Times, Mr. McCain lashed out at a litany of Bush policies and issues that he said he would have handled differently as president, days after a poll showed that he began making up ground on Sen. Barack Obama since he emphatically sought to distance himself from Mr. Bush in the final debate.
The return of the maverick in the public mind?
That highlighted poll reference may be caused by the IBD/Tipp poll, a seemingly conservative view prefered by freepers because(?) it doesn’t go into electoral votes, the only measurement that counts in the end. But that ‘poll’ caught this:
The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000.
Huh?
What would have cause that? Palin’s wardrobe bill that was, in 60 days, twice the yearly income of the top income families asked in that poll? That is somewhat implausible to me.
But then. Who knows?
Democracy does not mean that people vote their interest.
