Our Financial Crisis - The Facts Don't Seem to Matter

I think Thomas Sowell probably has it right.  Facts don’t matter when it comes to the financial crisis.  The McCain campaign seems strangely reticent when it comes to connecting the dots for the American people about the cause and the principals in the financial crisis.  The republicans are not doing a good job explaining their economic policies and are doing even worse at showing how misguided Obama’s economic policies are.  How many times did Palin talk about Wall Street greed during the debate instead of democratic intransigence? 

In fact they are not really economic policies at all - they are class-warfare social policies.  Although I believe McCain/Palin will close the gap and make it a close election, I fear that Obama will be elected by a majority of Americans that don’t understand the issues, and perhaps don’t care.  Combined with Acorn voter fraud the democrats will be tough to beat in the key battleground states. 

McCain is pulling out of Michigan because the campaign doesn’t think they can turn a heavily democratic state.  This is the frustration of us conservatives.  Michigan’s voters would rather stay with the party that helped get them into the mess they’re in instead of trying something different.

The real tragedy is that Obama’s “economic/social” policies will not help the economy and will most likely hurt badly, not just not the U.S., but the world.  But he’ll be thoughtful and articulate throughout it all.
