Knocking out the Democrats

Issue that Knocks Out Dems

The Republicans are going to come out on the short end of the stick if they don't give the voters a reason to vote for them. The Iraq War that McCain is hanging his hat on is a hard sell mainly because the Dems are not going to simply surrender if elected. They do not want a defeat on their watch. Already Obama is talking about no
immediate withdrawal. A trip to Iraq in Obama's future will yield what he already suspects, that we are very close to winning there. When that happens, there will not be enough difference in McCain and Obama about the war. The only differences will be that Obama will claim a new strategy for getting us out. His new strategy will be what is already happening, just wrapped up in a different wrapper. So if he is elected, Obama will be able to claim credit for the victory and bringing home the troops.

The Obama camp will tar McCain as a continuation of the Bush strategy. But there is an issue out there, that the Dems cannot run away from. That issue is 'energy'. The Democrats have prevented us from both developing new oil fields and building new refineries for making gasoline and other refined products.

The Democrats have prevented us from building more nuclear power houses. The reason we have these high-energy costs is directly attributable to the Democrats and their policies. The only solution we hear from the Dems is a windfall profits tax. Yes, it is the same Democratic solution they offer for all problems, more taxes. The Republicans should be all over the energy issue. If ever there was a knockout issue, it is the energy issue. Maxine Waters stated publically that her answer was to "Socialize" the oil industry.

These paragons of elitists and ignorance do not deserve to win again in November. They do not deserve either the Whitehouse or the Congress. The main achievement of the Democrats since 06 when they won a majority has been obstructionism.
