What ideas has McCain stolen from Obama so far? |
|
This started as a response to a previous post about McCain's appropriation of elements of Obama's new economic proposals but I thought that the subject might merit its own thread.
It seems like McCain has so far:
1.)Latched on to Obama's proposals for a timetable for withdrawal in Iraq (or did he? I don't hear any "100 years" talk anymore but then I thought he said that we would "win" and be able to withdraw by 2013 so........? I'm confused) 2.)John wants to move (possibly "surge") more troops into Afghanistan after Obama's July speech arguing for a transfer of military resources from Iraq to Afghanistan. 3.)Did John have his OWN "bailout" proposal or did he just latch on to the House Republican alternative and then the compromise that was later worked out? 4.)Now apparently, he is attempting to steal Obama's "thunder" in terms of his economic proposals. 5.)McCain has adopted Obama's "change" mantra (as if it WOULD ever sound credible coming from McBush and Palin-Cheney)
Anything else that he has stolen from Obama so far? Feel free to add on.

1. He's tried to co-opt the whole "change" message. |
|
Or another answer from Sarah Palin: "Any of them. All of them."

3. Making the white guy look stupid and weak by comparison. |
|
McCain's totally on board with that.

7. The Republicans nominated a "novelty" candidate |
|
In response to Obama's nomination. Had Obama picked Hillary for VP I'm not sure exactly how they would've dealt with that (although if Palin had still been picked by McCain, I'd have loved to see THAT deathmatch)
