McCain's Plan for Success

Most of the issues discussed on John McCain's blog are the differences between McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden.  One main point is the economy.  There are links to commercials released by McCain about Obama's plan to raise taxes.  One particular commercial is how Obama's plan to raise taxes will negatively effect the working families of America, Senior citizens and give money to those people who don't pay taxes at all.  This ad plays off Obama's "Joe the Plumber" ideas.

Here is a link to another set of videos of John McCain's speech given at the ALfred E. Smith Dinner.  The audiance consisted of democrats and republicans.  The general point of McCain's speech was to humorously criticize Obama's plans for America, should be become president.  Although the issues were presented in a funny way, McCain is successful in portraying his ideas and beliefs to an influential audience.  This was broadcasted live, so many Americans at home had the chance to see into some fundamental points of McCain's campaign.

It includes updates by the author of the blog, videos of speeches by John McCain, new commercials and quotes from the McCain. This blog gives acurate information for longtime followers of John McCain and provides explanations for new-comers.

2- This blog is different in several ways from other blogs I have looked at in the past. The biggest difference is that this blog is maintained professionally and is considered reliable. This blog also has videos imbedded in the site. Most other blogs I've seen are less professional and are not for informational purposes, as this one is.

3- John McCain recently discussed his policy for the economic future of this country. "Instead of rejecting good ideas because we didn't think of them first, let's use the best ideas from both sides. This great country can do anything we put our minds to. I will ask Democrats and Independents to serve with me. And my administration will set a new standard for transparency and accountability. We're going to finally start getting things done for the people who are counting on us, and I won't care who gets the credit." In my opinion, this idea is one of the best I have heard so far. I agree with this in that instead of trying to prove a specific party's way of thinking or doing things is the only way to govern a country, we should take the best idea presented and use it. Instead of thinking single mindedly, the president, or candidates, should think about what is best for the country as a whole.
