Seven years of a right wing, authoritarian, conservative Republican Bush regime in the White House, over a decade of a right wing, Republican controlled Congress until last year, and a right wing, corporatist Supreme Court and the McSame-Palin Republican convention is hypocritically talking about change.  It will be change for the worse.

 

McCain campaign manager, Rick Davis, said that this campaign would not be about issue but personalities.

 

Davis is a lobbyist in the McSame campaign overflowing with them.

 

One of the issue they are avoiding like poison, a hallmark of the Bush regime and its rubber stamps like McCain, is the following reported by McClatchy Newspapers:"Employers shed jobs in August for the eighth consecutive month, and the unemployment rate shot up to a higher-than-expected rate of 6.1 percent, the Labor Department reported Friday.

"The jobs numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics point to continued slow growth. On top of this week's Wall Street volatility, the continuing housing crisis and weak retail sales, many economists are again suggesting the U.S. economy may be on the brink of recession.

" 'The spike in the unemployment rate to 6.1% and the eighth month of continued job losses confirm that recessionary conditions persist in the labor market. Working families are in real trouble,' said Jared Bernstein, EPI senior economist for the liberal Economic Policy Institute.

"Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, said Friday that, 20 percent of manufacturing jobs have disappeared over the last five years. That fact is causing industry leaders to become pointedly more political in their assessment of the economy.

"GOP presidential candidate John McCain "fails to grasp" the importance of the sector to America's national and economic security, said Paul, who represents smaller U.S. manufacturers.

" 'Laid-off manufacturing workers don't want to be retrained for lower-paying service sector jobs; they want an administration that will fight hard to keep their jobs here and to grow new manufacturing jobs,' he said, promising to campaign key states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan "to make sure the candidates and voters know just what's at stake in this election."

John McCain not only "fails to grasp," he is part of the problem.
