See I Told You So - An Open Letter to McCain
It’s important, because the sentiments expressed here by Gene and others who are good observers of economy, culture and politics should be listened to.
A few I would point to.
Oil went crazy this summer. I kept saying. Too High. Will go lower. Can’t hold.
I was RIGHT.
I said that the whole ethanol and windpower concept was stupid.
I was right.
I said that concentrating on national security instead of economics in this election was a failed strategy.
I was right.
I said that the credit crunch for small business was the real problem. That if you want to stimulate business get money moving into small business again.
I was right.
I suggested in March that John McCain would be wise to pick Sarah Palin as his VP candidate.
I was right.
I prognosticated that McCain’s maverick and across the aisle philosophy would be his biggest weakness.
I was right.
I am going to tell you two other things I am right on. Sarah Palin is right on Illegal Immigration. I have said it before. These people are here, they aren’t going away, let’s get them in the system. Get used to it and quit believing in fairy tales. Palin understands this. So do I and we are RIGHT about this.
AND to win this election from here on out, my advice (about which I am RIGHT) is:
IF it’s the economy the real issue must be Who do you trust? That must be the drumbeat from here on out. Do you trust the empty suit novice or seasoning of years and EXPERIENCE (Palin).
Someone who reminds you of your co worker not the one who laid you off
Obama looks like someone we don’t know. Work on that. Don’t spend any time on how wonderful McCain is, he’s not, spend time on the Obamamystery. How scary he really is.
People operate from Fear and Greed. Most people won’t walk across the street to GAIN a hundred bucks even if they believe they could, but they will walk, even run across the street to keep from LOSING a hundred bucks.
SPEND TIME SHOWING PEOPLE How MUCH THEY WILL LOSE IF THEY ELECT OBAMA.
Fear and Greed.
Greed is in, now get the fear factor in play.
If you read what I have written about Obama in the past couple weeks I am not alone in fearing what this empty suit will do to me, the ones I love and this country, HOW MUCH GREED would it take to change my vote? You haven’t got that kind of money. That’s why these have lost their punch.
Free Health Care, empty Job Promises, Stock Market stuff, Etc Etc Etc. I know Jobs are being lost, I know our health care delivery system sucks, I know that the economy is falling in the toilet. BUT that’s all about Money
That part of the electorate is in. What will sell now?
What about destroying my lifestyle. I fear that. So do others.
Oh, and since this is an open letter to the McCain campaign. I want to hear about reform of those things that are already destroying my lifestyle.
Don’t EVER use the word earmark again. It’s a non starter. Ditto Taxes. MONEY NO LONGER CHANGES VOTES. LIFE ISSUES DO.
Guns, culture, religion, homosexuality, abortion, fairness doctrine and all the other lifestyle things that cause people like me to fear an OBAMA administration.
Besides they are true. He is out to destroy your freedoms.
I was right about these other things. I still am.
Is anybody out there? Do you want to win this thing?
Gene knows. There are other wise voices here. Hear US!
