Dole speaks on economy, her opponent
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole called Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin “brilliant” and said she credits McCain for continuing to push hard for the war in Iraq.
Dole also said McCain understood the economic problems facing the country and he had joined her in trying to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac several years ago.
“It is too bad that the Democrats didn’t listen earlier,” Dole said. “They did not listen to the Republicans and they should have because we were the ones trying to push legislation through.”
“They break something and try to blame it on the Republicans, and then it’s a bumper sticker,” Dole added. “We ain’t going to let that happen this time.”
Dole claimed her opponent, Democrat Kay Hagan, has ties New York Sen. Chuck Schumer who lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and her campaign is receiving money for him.
She told the crowd to be prepared for higher taxes if Democrats gain control of congress.
Dole also participated in a “Nobama” chant before leaving the stage.

The dumbocrats are the ones who caused the current finacial crisis since it is just one of their vote buying schemes. If this is what it takes to get dems elected, I don’t think we can afford them any longer. Better to go republican before we go into a depression. Let send those dumbocrats packing starting with O-ba-same-a.
