The Senate race in Texas has been bland and quiet lately, so we decided to have some fun and launch our own ad. We want to puncture the myth of conservative machismo. For years the Republican leadership has generated a false myth of strength and character, whereas in reality they have a record of weakness and failure. From Bush and Cheney on down, they’re sad little John Wayne wannabes, and Democrats need to hammer at that. We have to reverse the dialogue on the so-called “strength” factor in American politics—where Democrats are portrayed as wimps and the GOP as warriors. Swing voters tend to vote on the basis of values and personal character, not lists of issues and five-point plans. This year Republicans, once again,are trying to win by claiming they are strong and Democrats are weak. The time has come to burst that bubble. We need to connect issues to values and values to character. And we need to attack. Values are weapons; we need to use them.

THE PRESIDENT: Your Eminence, Vicki, Kara, Edward, Patrick, Curran, Caroline, members of the Kennedy family, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:

Today we say goodbye to the youngest child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy. The world will long remember their son Edward as the heir to a weighty legacy; a champion for those who had none; the soul of the Democratic Party; and the lion of the United States Senate — a man who graces nearly 1,000 laws, and who penned more than 300 laws himself.

But those of us who loved him, and ache with his passing, know Ted Kennedy by the other titles he held: Father. Brother. Husband. Grandfather. Uncle Teddy, or as he was often known to his younger nieces and nephews, "The Grand Fromage," or "The Big Cheese." I, like so many others in the city where he worked for nearly half a century, knew him as a colleague, a mentor, and above all, as a friend.

Ted Kennedy was the baby of the family who became its patriarch; the restless dreamer who became …

so do you think that the US has become a "nation of whiners" as former Senator Phil Gram – (R) Texas, McCain’s chief economic strategist, stated? How out of touch are McCain and his advisors???

“We have sort of become a nation of whiners,” he said. “You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline” despite a major export boom that is the primary reason that growth continues in the economy,"

Is the full statement and he is correct. We constantly complain in this country, but it is always the fault of someone else.

Can’t pay your mortgage? It’s not because you didn’t read the fine print about what you were signing. It was because those greedy lenders tricked you.

Can pay your electric bill? It’s not because you bought that new car or big screen on credit. It’s the fault of those greedy oil companies.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Gramm is right we are not in a recession yet, the factors have not been met. However to listen any average person tell it we are and have been for years. Whining leads to self fulfilling prophesies as confidence drops.
