It's the economy, stupid

[partypoker]

The guys worried about the Economy voted for Paul and the Anti-War vote went to McCain. Face it: New Hampshire chose to die in the Live Free or Die state.

that proves that we need to get the ANTI-WAR message out there! According to the data, people worried about the economy are for Ron.


But both would be great.

Everyone is worried about the economy - if they are not worried they soon will be. If the economy is not the major issue, we'll make it. They want the war to be the issue because they know the americans are too brainwashed to care about it. The war is not the issue, it's the media issue. The real issue that impacts every american is the economy.

Based on exit polls and testimonials from NH people here...it's obvious that people are unaware he is anti-war. It's not that they don't respond, it's that they don't know.

No, they just don't care about the war.

"Exit polls found 64 percent of Tuesday's Republican voters still support the conflict."

"In Tuesday's primaries, both Democrats and Republicans rated the economy as the most important issue in the primaries, and almost all voters said they were worried about it, exit polls show."

"Ninety-eight percent of Democrats said they were worried about the economy. And 87 ercent of Democrats rated the economy as not good or poor, according to exit polls. But they were more positive about their personal economic circumstances, with 59 percent saying they were holding steady and 14 percent saying they were getting ahead.

That 64% will be divided up between several other candidates. Meanwhile we can't even capture the rest because they didn't know Paul was against the war. And honestly I'm not worried about what democrats think considering we need Republicans to win this thing.

64% support the war doesn't mean 36% will not vote for someone who does not support the war. The war issue is dead, the new issue is the economy.

You have to adapt and evolve or you won't win.

You could be right, but I'm sticking to my guns. I've converted many a people with the foreign policy argument, and believe or not a couple of them were Bush neocons.

The economy and foreign policy are really intertwined anyway.

Yes, convert people with the antiwar message but also stress that the war is causing the collapse of the economy and dollar because we borrowing money to fund this spending.

From CNN this morning,

"McCain won Tuesday thanks in part to independents, late deciders and voters who put the war in Iraq at the top of their agenda, exit polls suggest."

"He is the one who ardently supports President Bush's troop buildup in Iraq," said CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider.

"Most Republicans support President Bush's Iraq policy, including New Hampshire Republicans, and that was the top issue for McCain voters."

For anyone that still thinks that he received the 'Anti-war' vote!

Further evidence the war issue is a non issue because the media has portrayed the surge as a success that pushed violence to all time lows, when, 2007 was the most deadly year on record. We will get logical people who are against the war, we will not get illogical people who are against the war.

We need to push economy. Save the economy, stop spending, cut the budget, etc. The economy is headed for the shitter, FAST. The s&p is about to tank, 8 days straight negative. People will become affected by this.

The economy must be the main issue.

Save the economy!

The economy is great because most of the other issues don't really trouble many other people but anything that hits your wallet is sure to be important to every American.

 

[stevedasbach]

we can't gain much ground with the economy stance, it's all about teh anti-war stance according to the exit polls in NH

The exit polls I saw indicated that the economy was the number one issue. Plus, Dr. Paul ties it to ending the war and overseas spending. Linking war and foreign policy to the economy is a better approach to reach Republicans.

How can we expect to win the election when there is impending economic disaster and Ron Paul is talking about student visas?

TALK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE.

THE ECONOMY AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY.

This Needs To Be Stressed.

This Is The Most Important Coming Issue Of The Campaign.

The Stock Market Is Crashing And Headed To The Gutter.

It's seems pretty obvious that the vast majority of Americans think that it is the government's job to run/fix the economy, so that if the economy is bad they vote for someone who will 'fix' it. Of course 'fix' it means more government, not RP.

 

[partypoker]

Fixing it means withdrawing troops and cutting government spending by 1T.

99% of the population has absolutely no clue about the economy or economics in general. Do you think people understand it? Do you think people understand that the stock market is a giant inflated bubble, and probably needs to massively correct, or do people want a politician that will stick on a band-aid and continue to prop it up?
