Sounds like the same "Hah! We gotcha beat..." that we kept hearing in 2000 and 2004. How'd that work out for ya?
Democrats: Still looking at polls and not learning the difference between "likely" voters and ACTUAL VOTERS. Likely voters led you to claim a 14 point victory 4 days before the election in 2004. ACTUAL voters let you down. When will you learn?

Tragically enough, it's fooling millions. We're gonna end up with the worst president ever thanks to the hypnotic efforts of the messiah and his supplicants.
Why, pray tell, is he spending MILLIONS of dollars fighting a lawsuit to prove his citizenship. All he has to do is choke up a valid birth certificate, and not the photocopy. He is spending, LITERALLY, millions to fight against this. WHY? WHAT IS HE AFRAID OF?

Go to any right wing blog and they'll probably have the link, or the screenshot, of the "sarah palin is a c*nt" tee-shirt that was posted on the obama/biden official website under there supporters blogs. While they can't control what their supporters will post, they can sure as heck moderate what is posted under barackobama.com and they let it ride for a few days before taking it down.
Both sides are just as bad. The MSM simply doesn't report ALL of the hate that the supplicants on the left post and scream.
By the way... "Traitor" and "kill him" were in reference to AYERS, not Obama. Which is, funny enough, an indepth investigation that the journalists are refusing to undertake beyond the official campaign line. If they looked into this with 10% of the effort they spent trying to smear palin, your boy would be history. IN. THE. TANK.

Sushi, WHAT are you talking about?
1/ Victory was defined a VERY long time ago. Just because the left's talking points ignore them doesn't mean they do not exist.
2/ EVERYONE is for a reduction in the need for oil. The facts are that in order to wean ourselves off dependency from foreign oil, we need to expand OUR OWN production. Oil is used for far more that fuel, and we have it. Tech leaves a very small footprint today and has been shown to have very little, IF ANY, affect on ecology. It's a RESOURCE... why not access it to our benefit?
3/ Your buddy BHO isn't going to get anyone out of Iraq any quicker than anyone else. "Free pizza's for every household" is a great mantra, but he's gonna find out that it's a different story once he's in office and actually is responsible for the mess. It's not as easy as he wants it to be.
Back to Ayers... these are LEGITIMATE questions that need to be asked and answered. Answers from Obama's CAMPAIGN managers are not sufficient when the investigative efforts of the media is non-existent. There has been, and IS, enough of a connection established to warrant looking into it.
He didn't know Wright was a racist. He didn't know Pfleger was a racist. He didn't know Acorn was a voter fraud machine, even as the trainer. He didn't know Ayers had a radical past. He didn't know Rezco was a crook. so forth and so on.
He seems to surround himself with crooked thieves and known racists, but he NEVER knows about their crimes or offending behavior? It is MORE than time for a serious look into each and everyone of those connections. "I didn't know" works once or twice. But it seems to have replaced CHOPE as his official motto... why?

Your all forgetting the inevitable "October surprise". The results of the debate aren't going to matter for much longer. Someone's gonna roll out some sort of information that the MSM will be unable to hide, or that the candidates will be unable to refute satisfactorily without making their entire debate performance into a lie.

I like how everyone piles on Fox... The remainder of the network channels are in the tank for Obama, and everyone just keeps piling on the ONE channel that leans to the right...
Of course they should remain neutral. If they don', they are SHAPING the news instead of reporting it. It all stated with that newstard Cronkite and gone downhill since then. "Journalists" now feel it is their duty to shape future events, especially politics. Omitted facts, statements, etc... are all ways to shape without lying. CNN is especially good at it. And so is Fox.

That would be awesome. He should keep copies of all those articles from the foreign press that has the 'nads to talk about Obama being best for our country. As president, when something happens and they need aid... he should mail them a copy of the article with an "ask him" written across it in big red letters.
Of course.... he won't.

Typical polling methodology. Take the demographic that supports the result you want, and poll a majority of them.
Best poll yet: MSNBC's "online" poll. IT geeks DESTROYED them after by showing that only 21% of poll participants were from the US... All other IP's came from overseas, mainly Europe. Hence... never trust an online poll. And by extension... never trust ANY poll. The only one that matters is in November.

Hey, if it wasn't for McCain and the republican's, this plan would have just given the money to Paulson. At least now, the companies are required to participate in the bailout thru insurance, the coffers of ACORN isn't being fattened, and there is some oversight and accountability. None of which was in Paulson's "blank check" plan, and very very little of it in the socialist plan put forth by the left.
As bad as it is... it would have, and still could be, much worse if the dem's had their way.
