    Meet McCain's New Speech...

    Posted:
    10/15/08
    David Knowles observed Monday that McCain's much-ballyhooed new stump speech contained very little in the way of, um, new speech.
    *McCain now takes a swipe at President Bush for doubling the national debt.

    *McCain admits that he is behind in the polls.

    *He jabs the media for helping to cause this situation.

    *He says that even though he's 6 points down, he has Obama exactly where he wants him.

    That's it.
    Of course, McCain supporters are fond of attributing information that they don't like to some sort of "tank-related" behavior, so I was skeptical at first. If only someone were to do a side-by-side comparison...



    As long as he's rolling out the golden oldies, why not try a speech that has some useful advice for McCain in it? From McCain at the 2004 RNCC:
    My friends, we are again met on the field of political competition with our fellow countrymen. It is more than appropriate, it is necessary that even in times of crisis we have these contests, and engage in spirited disagreement over the shape and course of our government.

    We have nothing to fear from each other. We are arguing over the means to better secure our freedom, and promote the general welfare. But it should remain an argument among friends who share an unshaken belief in our great cause, and in the goodness of each other.

    We are Americans first, Americans last, Americans always. Let us argue our differences.

    But remember we are not enemies, but comrades in a war against a real enemy, and take courage from the knowledge that our military superiority is matched only by the superiority of our ideals, and our unconquerable love for them.
