All could be lost

It will be a great day when Obama takes the oath of office. After 8 years of oil wars, lies, and policies the benefit the rich it will be a great day. We must not become complacent, we steel must fight to make sure that every vote is counted. We must also make sure that every person who is 18 or over will go and vote. The time for talk has ended and action must be taken now. Change will not come if we sat and do nothing, it will come when people get up a do something like Rosa Parks when she did not get up.

Obama is not the only race we should look at. People must keep in mind that the president is only one part of our government . We have to have a Congress that reflexes the change that we need in the U.S. Republicans in the Congress have stop many good pieces of legislation like the Children’s health insurance program. A law that would have give 10 million kids health insurance. Bush vetoed this good bill and house Republicans would not override the veto. In the Senate Republicans would not allow a final vote on legislation that would tax the profits on oil companies, like Exxon Mobil who made $64.7 billion in three months. We need to have members in congress who also believe in change.

DNC Day 2

Last night convention was better in the fact that the speakers went on the attack a lot more. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) said in his speech “John McCain calls himself a maverick but he votes with Bush 90% of the time that is not a maverick that is a side kick.” This is the type of language that democrats should be using on John Bush McCain. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) in the same speech “They cut taxes for the must of us and past the pain to the lest of us. They give huge subsidies to Oil companies and they ask for four more years, how about four more months.” This show me democrats are doing a better job of framing there massage.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-MT) gave democrats some red meat that is well done to eat last night. He said “John McCain voted 25 times against renewable and alternative energy.” Also “ John McCain has taken more than a million dollars in campaign contributions from the gas and industry.” These fact can be used in ads and talking points by left 527 groups. This a go was to get the word out.

Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) “John McCain has no problem hitting the snooze button on the economy because he’s never been apart of the middle class. And I would like to say to him Sen. John McCain it’s time for your wake-up call. This step up rhetoric is what is need to fight McCain with. They need to do more of the same.

DNC Day 1

The goal for Democrats for the convention is to go after McCain hard. They did some of that tonight. They need to step it up a lot more, you have to call McCain and his fair right Republican friends. Pelosi could have done a better job of this. I would have called out house Republicans for not voting the override the children’s health insurance program. The Republicans are going after Obama hard so Democrats need to do the same. What is good is how Democrats are going after Hispanic voters. This group can give you states like Nevada and New Mexico. Also Democrats did a ok job addressing weakness in Obama’ support, but have a working white family speak. They need to do more of this to help move polls in state like Ohio and Iowa.
