Robert Stacy McCain reveals what is wrong not only in the mainstream/Democrat media, but much of the conservative alternative media — a hubris that they know everything and we the people are merely their pawns. Swallowing hook, line and sinker Democrat media predictions is a dangerous game for conservative prognosticators. Way back in 1980 the pollsters told us the election was a tie — Reagan won in a landslide. Jeffrey Lord’s insightful “In the Tank for President Kerry” is a goldmine of wisdom. Yesterday, CBS led with this headline “CBS Poll: Presidential Race Tightens.” Obama’s lead had shrunk by 6% from their poll last Wednesday and now its 48% Obama, 45% McCain. The RealClearPolitics average has Obama up by 6%. The problem with polls is they are not factual information, but media tools to promote Democrat candidates. Even when polls favor the Republican the media will spin it for the Democrat every time.

What should McCain do? Dig deep and go after Obama. It is time to take the gloves off and start punching. McCain has nothing to lose as history has proven “dirt sticks to dirty candidates” and Obama is as dirty as they come. His ties to corrupt bankers who caused our current financial downturn are real and should be exploited. The Obama camp has already dug up the ancient “Keating 5” so McCain should tie Franklin Raines and the current financial mess to Obama. That would knock the feet out from under Obama on the one real issue that’s helping him the economy. When voters realize Obama is a major part of the problem he’s history, but is up to McCain to make that link, because the Democrat media won’t.

p>McCain needs to air ads showing Obama doesn’t even know how many states there are or basically isn’t bright enough to be President. Lampooning and making fun of Obama isn’t going to hurt McCain, but it is going to cause Obama and his handlers to go berserk. McCain needs to start having fun at Obama’s political expense. Scorch the political landscape and scatter Obama’s political ashes to the wind. br> — Michael Tomlinson /p>

Thank you for printing this article. It’s very helpful.

I understand articles in left-leaning publications trying to suppress right-leaning voters. I understand articles in right-leaning publications trying to suppress left-leaning voters.

This article, whether true or false, will only serve to suppress votes for McCain.

Publishing something like this at this time has what purpose? Have your marketing people given you advice that you would sell more magazines if Obama is elected?
