So many on this board are trying to defend McCain by saying that somehow the economy is fine, fundamentals (I mean the real fundamentals, not the "American worker" as McCain claims the phrase means) are strong etc.

The reality couldn't be further from the truth. Even the Christian Science Monitor admits the economy is in the tank:

I am interested to see that the Republicans don't disagree that they said the economy was just fine as recently as last weekend. Now we've had another day where the stock market is plunging to the lowest level in several years and the credit squeeze is affecting many businesses large and small.

Reality is, we are hearing a lot of misinformation.

It's time to change things up. Whatever the Republicans are doing, it's not working.

It's worse than denial, its outright deception. GOP wisdom: always say everything is perfect in America, and when someone points out a problem call them a traitor,

The GOP is too self-serving. If it's not about them, which the economy is not, since most of them are "fat cats", then they don't give a damn. Proof that they need to be removed from office.
