“Real America”, Ted Stevens Trial, and Voter Suppression in Ohio

McCain/Palin Claim: "Real Americans" Live in Small Towns; Rest of Us are Un-American

October 20, 2008

I host the Leslie Marshall show today for three hours. I’ll be talking about the strange claims of John McCain and Sarah Palin that “real Americans” live in small towns. They say that Democrats and those of us in cities and suburbs just aren’t pro-America. What are we, terrorists?
I also debunk the myth that ACORN is engaged in voting fraud and discuss Republican plans to disenfranchise voters across the country with my guest Brad Friedman.
Then on to the economy with the First Lesson of Economics 101: Why the Middle Class are the Engines of the Economy and not the Superrich.

The Last Presidential Debate

John McCain had a choice in this campaign. He could have run a positive campaign. He could have run to the middle of America, to moderates, to the middle class, to bipartisanship. He could have chosen well-respected Maine Senator Olympia Snowe and ran as a deficit hawk.
Instead he chose negative campaigning, and an appeal to the far-right, the superrich, and the hateful fundamenatalists, typified by that lawless “Cheney-in-a-dress” Alaskan Governor he chose as his running mate.
Last night’s Presidential Debate showed why John McCain’s fateful choices doom his campaign. With the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Americans are finally tiring of negative campaigns. McCain has tried his best to “swift-boat” Barack Obama…and failed miserably.

It sounds counter-intuitive and it is. But we need more debt right now. More Government spending and less taxes on the middle class and poor.
Today I look at the insight into our complex, modern economy provided by…the Bible.
