Dear Friend,
How's this for the latest Republican outrage? A few days ago, John McCain's top economic honcho called America "a nation of whiners" and said that we're only in "a mental recession."
Are we all just imagining $4.00 a gallon gas? Were the 438,000 jobs that America lost already this year all just in our heads?
This is exactly the kind of garbage that Republicans get away with unless you and I stand up and hold 'em accountable. As the DCCC's Rapid Response crew, I'm counting on all of you to really let John McCain have it for this one. Tell John McCain that what you just paid for gas and groceries this week was no figment of your imagination. Now nobody ever said that John McCain exactly had his finger on the pulse of the pain that families are feeling thanks to George Bush putting our economy in the cesspool. But letting your top economic advisor call Americans a bunch of 'whiners' is a new low even for Team McCain.
Senator McCain already admitted that he doesn't know much about the economy. He's proving it more and more every week.
This is the same John McCain that called George Bush's disastrous economic record 'great progress.' Now he lets his point-man on the economy call decent hardworking folks who fell on hard times because of George Bush a bunch of 'whiners.' These comments insult the dignity of every single American fighting hard to make ends meet in George Bush's economy.
Help us hit back twice as hard against this trash.
Tell John McCain your story today.
James Carville
