John McCut
Excellent blog post by Hugh Hewitt on what McCain should do after the Palin debate win:
His simple, closing message ought to be that the world is threatened by terrorism, and the global economy is threatened by rising taxes, chains on productivity, pressure on trade, and corrupt, self-dealing political elites at home and abroad.
McCain needs to declare that he’s been around a long time, and he’s seen all the big mistakes made and all the costs paid, and that he isn’t going to stand for it now.
McCain should pledge to be John McCut from day one in the White House:
He’ll cut taxes on new businesses and construction to jump start a flat economy and invigorate employment;
He’ll cut federal spending to make sure we have the resources for those that need it and not those who have gotten fat off of subsidies;
He’ll cut the chains that government has put on productivity, allowing builders to build and energy companies to explore and producers to make;
He’ll cut every trade barrier he can find and commit to an export economy that will surge the growth in American production of the goods and services demanded around the globe;
He’ll cut the corrupt culture of self-dealing that allowed Freddie and Fannie to pump hundreds of billions of bad loans to over-their-head borrowers and into the economy and thereby infect our financial system to the point of collapse;
And finally, he’ll cut the MSM down to size, calling them on their ridiculous double standard that sought to impale Palin while protecting Obama from his past. McCain should demand a MSM that serves that common interest, not the interest of Beltway-Manhattan elites and which holds all elected officials, not just conservative ones, to the fire. McCain should particularly demand that big media look at Fannie and Freddie and who turned them into Frankensteins and who profited thereby.
