If McCain't wins, it will not only be a miracle, but it will be because the polls were rigged by the rabid Republican zealots who rigged the Florida polls and then the Ohio ones so that Bush Jr. could get "elected" for two terms. Man, what a farce.
Knock yourelves out, McCain't supporters - your day in the sun is long over. You won't win this Fall unless you cheat, and we ALL know what a hollow victory that produces... Look where we are after 8 years of Bush Regime policies. "Y'all enjoy!"
Funny a day ago I saw a poll that said Obama lead by 7 POINTS.? Considering all the fluf articles Newsweek produces on a bi--daily basis for Obama these newsweek numbers totally figure.
This is good news for the Obama campaign but they should not get complacent. Republicans fight dirty so be prepared at all times. It is time for us to send that old decrepit broken down straight talk express to the junkyard.
Here, here, Spice! I'm with you, girl!
I tuned in to CNN the other night and heard a love fest for Obama. It was pretty nauseating!! Why does no one question the empty suit? If you go to You Tube and type in Obama and VA, you can hear one of his impromptu speeches. The stumbling, bumbling display certainly sounded like he was waiting for a cue from offstage into an ear phone. If McCain had made such a horrible speech, he'd be on every network and they'd be calling him senile. What is brilliant Ivy-league educated Obama's excuse?
at least Obama is not out to kill Veterans benifits!! as McCain is!! is this the meaning of your post?? screw the Vet and don't tell the soldier till he is out???
Don't forget to type in gaffes along with Obama at You Tube and you'll hear all kinds of idiocy.
I'd always wondered about that. I'd heard Obama was a brilliant speech maker back before I heard him, but then when I finally started listening to his speeches, I was bored to tears. Clinton has better speeches and better debates. I guess no one was watching her.
Obama can. Mc Cain't.
Do you realize that if we as a people took a collective responsibility and initiative to make changes to our own lives, that would go a longer way to a sustainable energy policy than drilling ever would? Personal responsibility, I thought, was a Republican mantra. I hope that just doesn't mean when it doesn't inconvenience you.
All of our plastic cars and computers and just about everything else is made from petroleum products. Oil is not going to be eliminated for a long time. I'm all for conservation and plan to buy a hybrid next time, but oil is where it is for the near future.
Fine. And I agree with you. Our dependence on oil is broad and far reaching. But, just imagine if everyone bought a car that got 10 MPG more than they currently drive. Just think how many barrels of oil we would not need. A revolution starts with a change in behavior and investment in alternatives. It is not pretty, and people do suffer for it, but it would be for the greater good.
I'm hoping to do better than 10 MPG. The American auto makers were making rust buckets for years till the Japanese did it better. Now we have cars that look like new when they're over 10 yrs. old. If the American public demands it, auto makers will supply. The time is now!!
I'm reading some of these comments and obviously they are listening to right wing slime and sleazy
Here is some advice, If you can not respond like an adult , Instead of like a 14 year old, who's snuck
on the site on his parents computer or is unsupervised on his or her own, Stop spreading lies
and false information.. He is ahead.. he is a wonderful candidate.....and will be a wonderful president
unlike you , I have done my research and have made it my mission to squash the smears, and start
debating on the issues ahead.....Some of the comments are vile and no one is caring what the ignorant
posters say...He is ahead .. People are free thinking and can set aside the rubbish and LOOK at the numbers......obama 08 I'm fired up and ready .....FISTBUMP
It really gets me that the word "taxes" is a like kryptonite to some people. You do understand that taxes are necessary for many things we take for granted, right? Police, Firefighters, libraries, roads, etc. -- all the stuff that we use or have available to us everyday without giving it one second thought. All these people who fear a raise in taxes somehow think money for our these things will just come out of thin air or say "Who cares if we have to borrow for these things. Budget deficit be damned".
So how much is enough?? 20% Federal taxes, 5% state taxes, 7% local taxes on purchases, 9% or more for retirement, what is the percentage for Medicare, 18.4 cents per gallon on gas, in OH 22.6 cents per gallon on gas, many cities have a percentage point or two, how much is enough?? Enough to pay for Congressmen's lunch, enough for their SUV rental and fuel and driver?? You have got to be kidding!! They will find more and more to spend.
That is why we need a revolution. I hope that we still control who is elected in this country. We as a collective people. If we see our representatives at whatever level spending our money on crap and pork, we will vote them out. Do that enough times, then we will have the right people to make the right decisions. The problem is that we are so entrenched in partisan, biased politics (i.e. people will vote Democrat or Republican no matter what). We need to get away from that. Plus we need to stop focusing on extraneous issues like Gay Marriage that take our minds off of these things, and focus on getting this country back in order.
I like your thinking PSA; the one catch?? My son was trying to decide what to do with his life, I asked him, please don't be a politician. I know you'd have the right ideals but how long would it take to get corrupted? Look at the ones who didn't get corrupt. John Kasech and Tim Penny were two wonderful idealists, one Rep. and one Dem who worked together on the budget. One term or so and they left. Did not run again. What does that tell us? i'm glad they left with honor.
Obama's plan on energy: tax holidays are a gimmick (he voted 3 times for it), No nuclear energy additions, no offshore drilling (it will take five years before we see anything - with this logic WHY build bridges - we can't use trhem for 5 years...) So with no addition in energy how will we power our country WITH HOPE!! YES! HOPE follks - that;s how Obama plans to solve the energy crisis
The US consumes 25% of the world???s oil and we have only 3% of the world???s oil reserves, but. the important thing to keep in mind is that, oil companies are sitting on more than half of the public lands they already have leased for drilling. They could start drilling there tomorrow, if they WANTED to. Don't you get it? It is to their advantage to keep the prices high. Selling a little for a lot makes them just as much money as selling a lot for a little. The advantage to the oil companies of opening up more land is that they can pretend a while longer that the delay in getting to full production on that land is keeping prices high. Of course, ultimately we simply can't drill enough on our own soil to make the difference.
Hey PleaseSaveAmerica, Fox is more "fair and balanced" than what you listen to. You want to get real? Try listening to BOTH sides!
How do you know what I listen to? Who says I "listen" to anything. I am not a media robot.
OMG, it's scary to read through these posts and see so MANY of you seem to be in denial, leaning seriously or slightly toward McCain't.
The rest of the WORLD is rooting for OBAMA - it's not just the liberal media. It's EVERYONE. Get real - he's smart and savvy, cool, intellectual, a great communicator and a wonderful leader - what else could you WANT??? An aging DUMMY with a Martian for a wife, who is about to keel over he's so ancient, and who spouts the same old shite for the same old arses that typically manipulate this country for the benefit of their pocketbooks? The Rich and Reactionary, the Retarded, the Die-Hard Republicans?? You want MORE OF THE SAME??? I can't believe how stupid we've become as a nation.
It's embarrassing.
Am I theonly one worried ab out these comments about Mrs. Obama? In her senior thesis, she asked: Does immersion in an elite white institution draw blacks away from their community? She surveyed black Princeton alumni, finding their ties weakened after graduation.
???The path I have chosen to follow by attending Princeton,??? Mrs. Obama wrote in the introduction, ???will likely lead to my further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society, never becoming a full participant.???
She revised the contracting system, sending so much business to firms owned by women and other minorities that the hospital won awards.
Mrs. Obama is on leave from her more-than-$300,000-a-year job.vice president of community affairs at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Yeah, Michelle Obama hates white people and America; and Barack is a muslim and hates puppies, also he is planning to force everyone into gay sex orgies while melting down guns to make pentograms. Jackasses.
Folks, Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike. Hear me now.....
The *only* poll that matters is taken on November 4th, 2008. Let's move beyond polls and talk about real issues, for the love of humanity.
Let's put a moratorium on whether the Newsweek poll is right or wrong. Who cares!
Refer me to a national poll that shows McCain ahead if you please.
"O" Team--Your post is confusing--CURIOUS George--Who are you referring too? Obama or W?
Wait till gas prices go up to $10/gallon, what they're paying in Europe right now. We'll all freak out.
We need to wean ourselves off of petroleum a lot faster than you think. It's going to impact the global economy even more than it is now... We have no real substitute - and petroleum makes up (or is a component of) so many of our every day products - plastics, microchip manufacturing, food and beverage manufacturing, medicine, cosmetics, just about everythingf in Walmart, in your house ,in your car, and in your life.
Global supply is peaking and demand is rising - oil prices will remain high and only get higher over the next decade as we run out of light sweet crude that makes our gasolene, etc.
RIght, most Americans don't realize how good we have it. The rest of the world is in a crisis, and we're heading that way fast. Global demand is up to about 100 million barrels a day, and there's only about 85 million barrels being produced a day. Demand is going to keep rising, and production is starting to level off.
It's a poll that is refelctive of the population - with more than 50% calling themselves Democrat; 30+% saying they're Republicans.
Why is this so hard to understand? IS anyone actually reading through the article or are they just responding in knee-jerk reaction to the headline? DUH, better wise up if you're going to be voting this Fall. Get an education.
How in the world can this poll be taken seriously? When you have a 2-1 margin in favor of a democrat, are the results really so surprising? Newsweek should be ashamed for putting up such a faulty poll? Can they explain why they have skewed the poll so far in favor of a democrat?
What the hell r u talking about? You dont have any access to the voter registration demographic of the polling sample. I agree, Obama isprobably not ahead by 15% nationally, but he is ahead by more than 5%, so cry me a river.
I thought Newsweek went bankrupt.
