Entry: The Dream team Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_dream_team#16709 Post contents: The economy is not going to help McCain, as the latest polls show that the American people blame the poor economy on the war on Iraq - and they have a point because wars are expensive, and the geniuses in charge never stopped to think how they were going to pay for it. Not only they believed in bloodless victories, but also on bargain basement victories. Somehow you need to teach them the following mantras. "Wars take soldiers. At some point you may have to start thining of a draft" "Wars cost money. At some point you'll need to raise taxes to pay for them" If you do not want draft or taxes, do not get into wars. But if you do, make sure they are absolutely necessary because you'll have to supply them with troops and means, and those can only come from the American people Anything else is smoke and mirrors (You know, the debate about taxes reminds me of the dentist's drill. I absolutely hated it and thought it was the worst thing. Until my dentists numbed me with novocaine to have it done, and I spend the rest of the afternoon waiting for it to wear out. Since then I have submitted to non-anesthetized drilling with no complaints because it is over quickly and I do not spend any time with a numb mouth afterwards. So it is with taxing. All the complaints about "tax and spend" Democrats evaporate when you consider "spend money that isn't there" Republicans) Sent at: 2008 10 11
