I think the voters care a great deal about whether they're being lied to or not. Calling what we're in a recession is exactly that.

What's wrong with saying what I said in my post, about how the economy, despite the trouble we've endured the past year, is still rising and that Democrats are diong their dead-level best to kill it? That's a winner.

And Kerry was factually correct when he stated his "I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it" statement was not a flip-flop. That worked out well for him, didn't it?

The voters do not care whether or not there is actually a real economic recession. They just care about their personal recession. That is why the MSM and the Dems were able to twist "recession" to fit their purposes. Again, we win absoluetely nothing in this battle.

Roy – There is a difference between a recession and "people not liking the economy".

We are not in a recession. Period.

No, people do not like the economy and I never said that McCain shuold not acknowledge and try to repair that. But he is wrong to just change the meaning of the word to suit his political purposes just as the MSM has been wrong for doing the same thing for a year.

Yes, people are feeling bad because of the high gas prices and not because there is a recession. However, what is the point of trying to deny that people do not like the current economic conditions?

The argument that there is no recession is a loser. I suggest you drop it.

Because it is not based on facts?
