John McCain hasn’t even announced his choice for VP yet, but that hasn’t stopped Democrats from launching an entire site dedicated to attacking his top potential nominees. How? They’re already equating each and every one of them with Dick Cheney.
The top quote on the site is from John McCain, who had this to say about to the current VP:
“With a little more luck, I might have been able to ask you to be my Vice-President.”
The quote’s date? October 2001 — a time when Bush was enjoying some of the highest approval ratings in American history and Democrats were standing solidly by the Bush Administration.
Anyway, the attack centers on the following people: Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Charlie Crist, John Thune (how man people have mentioned him?), Carly Fiorina, Fred Smith, and Eric Cantor. They accuse Crist of calling Bush his hero, though they’re apparently unable to provide a quote substantiating that. Romney gets slammed for changing positions, which probably isn’t a great line of attack when your own nominee is flip-flopping by the day. Fred Smith gets attacked for saying this back in July:
‘I don’t think we’re in a recession,’ Smith said Monday in a Bloomberg Television interview. ‘We’re in a period of extremely low growth brought on by high fuel prices and the financial meltdown.’”
I don’t mean to get technical here, but we’re not in a recession. We continue to experience positive growth and the numbers just released by the feds are better than the previous month’s. We happen to be in, uh, a time of extremely low growth that was sparked by a financial meltdown and high fuel prices. Apparently Smith is wrong because he doesn’t agree with the DNC’s unsubtantiated talking points.
But remember: It’s the Republicans responsible for negative campaigning. That damn Karl Rove!
