Edited on Tue Jul-15-08 10:51 AM by Cronus Protagonist
McCain and Bush keep harping on about how the _fundamentals_ of the economy are so juicy good, and it's a _psychological_ problem in that *some* people are whiners and do not get that the _fundamentals_ are good, so these losers act like chickens with their heads cut off.
Cue the opposition (and among them most Democratics and the Obama campaign)... "You're crazy if you think that the economy is good, drilling for oil in ANWAR will change the price of oil and Iraq is going well..."
McCain/Bush response? "SEE!!! These people have PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS! And they're so dumb/ stupid/ crazy/ un-American that they'll NEVER see that the _fundamentals_ are good, even if they got slapped in the face with them! They WANT AMERICA TO LOSE!"
I expect this argument has been tested against specific samples of hoi polloi and it will poll in favor of McCain come election time. After all, who would vote for a CRAZY person who's SO DOWN ON AMERICA?
