Glow Fading?

As for John Adams and the cold molasses movement of democracy, royalty, in the form of the Idiot Prince is what got us into Iraq, sans congress. Democracy is what was just about to get us out, until our candidate waffled. We were screaming in glee at the promise to get out. Now we are trying to remember all of the other promises that we screamed in glee about. How good are they? That's where your poll votes went. Down the failing promise toilet. Better put a bandage on that self inflicted cut.

You Obama sheep kill me. Media bias? Obama must be sending you a supply of drugs each month to keep you in your stupor. I am a journalsm major, and I have hever seen such bias in favor of Obama in my life. Hillary Clinton got bloodied and battered by the media more than any other male or female to run for president. Yet, she kept on standing up. Obama responded to every primary she won by sending out surrogate supporters to play the race card. And when he got challenged by the media on an issue, he whined about the media. If he can't be a man and stand up for himself, how in the hell can he be leader of the free world?

None of the Obama supporters (I'm sure a number of them are paid Obama staffers who do nothing than play the internet) ever provide a reason to vote for Obama, only to dis his opponencts. But not only are you a bunch of unthinking sheep, you are idiots to boot. To keep bashing Hillary Clinton will not bring any of her voters into your camp. You don't have a snowballs chance in hell of capturing this Clinton supporter. You burned that bridge too long ago. But you keep doing what you are doing and everytime you type on a keyboard you just confirm your stupidy and ignorance. I don't know if you sheep can compredend this, but you have to get Clinton supporters and independants to win. Given the dismal state of the Rep party, any Democrat who has a pulse should be running away with this. Obama needs to quit llstening to his slick PR people and hire intelligent people to advise him. Which is another sign of his weakness; he is unable to recognize that. That is a fatal flaw in leadership qualities.

For right wing Republican rush droids, I suggest you tell you wives to take you keyboards away and lock them until the election. Your diatribe will not win ANY independants or Clinton voters to your side. You are as stupid as the Obama sheep.

I have been a life long Democrat and will continue to be. But I can think for myself. I, like all of you sheep, was taken in initially by Obama's oratory skills. But when it came time to cast my vote I looked at records and consistency. He had virtually none. At least I know what McCain's core set of values are even if I don't share all of them. I have no idea what Obama's are. I'm sure he loves his family but beyond that, I have no ideal. Like I said before, better the devil I know than the one I don't.

Comment: Barack Obama's apparent lack of core principles and his liberal elitist attitude toward ordinary Americans by him and his wife with comments like Americans "clinging to guns and religion", being "embarassed" because Americans aren't bilingual, America is a "mean country", for the "FIRST TIME" Michelle is proud of this country, or "as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station", is just the beginning as to why people should not support Obama. People didn't know that "CHANGE" meant changing positions to try to appeal to the current audience. Barack is a phony that is a far-left liberal elitist at heart.

The great majority of the Obama supporters do not know Barack Obama and the liberal news media likes it that way. This guy is so far to the left that he voted against a bill that would have protected a baby born alive during an abortion. This is not only far-left, it is downright evil. There is no reasonable justification for that vote. It goes along with his belief that unwanted unborns are "punishment". He is rated as the most liberal (by the National Journal) in the Senate. His associations are with radical left types. He has accomplished nothing as a Senator. He has shown no leadership traits except to campaign for the presidency. His leanings are to a socialist government just like other Democrats like Maxine Waters who wants to nationalize the oil industry.

What we have here is a news media that is so infatuated with Obama, they provide no critical coverage of him resulting in a public that is ignorant of his qualifications and his voting history. Imagine if a white conservative with the same weak record of leadership and experience, made the same gaffes, changed positions, and made the same elitist comments, was campaigning for the presidency. If that white conservative was leading in the polls, the same Obama infatuated news media would be calling the public misinformed and making it their mission to inform them of his weak record and would cast him as an out-of-the mainstream conservative.

Come on Newsweek. Your last poll had Obama up 15 points when ever other poll at the time had him up 4 to 6 points. The times Bloomberg poll did not have him at a similar margin they had him up 12 points. Obviously, another bad poll, but you had the destinction of being not just an outlier, but clearly definitely wrong. And yes over the past few weeks Obama has shown that he has absolutely no principals, but his hateful moveon.org supporters can take comfort in the fact that he is obviously lying as he tacks toward the center, although on Iraq, that was key to his defeat of Hillary in the Primary, he is probably not lying. He's facing reality that the war in Iraq is all but won, and the consequenced of his policy of declaring defeat in the face of victory and giving it back to Iran and Al Queda would seriously damage this country and destroy his Presidency if he is elected. The reliable polls like Gallup & Rasmussen, who aren't working for his campaign, show that he had probably settled from a 5 or 6 point lead to a 3 or 4 point lead. However, Obamamaniacs can take heart. Even though Obama is clearly an old style chicago politician, even slicker and less principaled than Bill Clinton, John McCain hasn't shows to date that he has the fire in the belly to really take the campaign to Obama and beat him, even though it's getting clearer and clearer that anyone outside of moveon.org should be very afraid of an Obama Presidency.

The Zogby polls show Obama in a clear lead across the US in terms of electroal votes. Zogby usually calls it really close. They were accurage during the primaries in calling Clinton-OBama percentages in the various states. I would like to think of my fellow US citizens in a higher regard. Unfortunately, if we end up electing McCain't, it will be telling in more ways than one - our electorate is under-educated, chicken-sh--, and parochial.

Much too narrow-minded to be the world leader we once were.

Such a pity. But all good things must come to an end. Look to China, Europe and India to be the future world leaders. The US is seeing its heyday peaking now.

Comment: "Obama's overall decline from the last NEWSWEEK Poll, published June 20, is hard to explain"

Are you kidding me? The media focuses 99.9% of their attention on every move Obama makes. Every day I flip on the news and more days than not the first 20 minutes is dedicated to Obama, what his wife wears, whether he had breakfast that morning and what color socks he has on. Just like with Hillary, the news agencies are going to grind this candidate into the dust. I am undecided about my candidate right now, Obama or McCain but wouldn't it be refreshing to see unbiased, fair and equal coverage on the candidates for once? Personally I have chalked up mainstream media to the same level as the National Enquirer or Star magazine. It sickens me.

Mayor Ed Koch had a saying that went something like this: " If you agree with me 9 out of 12 times, vote for me. I f you agree with me 12 out of 12 times, you need a psychiatrist" Ditto Obama. Think of the far reaching consequences of electing McCain: Supreme Court and other court appointmentments, his dedication to " winning" the war in Iraq (at what further cost in blood, money and international relations, the economy and his drill anywhere anytime philisophy, not to mention his opposition to VA benefits. Think of his pal Phil Gramm and their agreement that the recession and the rough time you are and I are have financially is all in our heads. I guess with that last tank of gas I just breathed in too many fumes and I only imagined it was more that twice what I would have paid 8 years ago, 'til I get the MasterCard bill...Yes, I am upset about the the Fisa vote by Obama,, too. I guess that's one of three of twelve I disagree with him on. So I will write a letter, more than one letter, urging possible criminal investigations re; FISA, and Valerie Plame, etc. once he becomes President, if you all who demand a 12 for 12 rating don't prevent me from doing so. Write to the guy and let's see if we can get some sort of commitment on that. We'll NEVER get it from McCain, and you know it! Please don't cut off your noses to spite your faces! If any of you watched the recent "John Adams" series on HBO you know that some of our Founders discovered the hard way that one of the disadvantages of Democracy is that it works slowly, but it is still better than royal or other types of fiat.. Gramm called us a nation of whiners. Can we please prove him wrong and do something about what we don't like, and have a little patience? Would you care for a president Obama or (horrors!) McCain handing down rule by fiat like George III or George W.? Remember that someone we all admired (I think) talked about politics being the art of the possible.

Since Obama has become a Rebublican on many issues, voters are thinking maybe we should go with a Republican. Someone who has shifted on all the major issue, makes is difficult to believe he would not be constantly shifting as president. It should be a democrat year, but polling is showing the Democrat congress approval ratings in the single digits. Rassumssen shows it a one point race, McCain may win this.

"Change" means getting out of Iraq. Going there to see if we need to get out of Iraq is not "change". It's what we've been doing for nearly six years now. Next thing you know, he'll start saying that if we cut and run, they might consider following us home, trying to get the cut and run vote. Horse apples.

Big Media want a RACE. That's good for advertising dollars. So many of the stupid and offensive gaffs by both candidates go unreported.

Q: The WORST thing to happen to America in the last 20 years?

A: The corporate change of news divisions from "Prestige Operations" to "Profit Centers"...

The news you get is the news that's most profitable for the Media owners. It has little to do with the facts...

Maybe Obama will see that his "pirouettes to the Center" are making him just like every other politician and that it's not a strategy that is working. But most people's biggest complaint about him was that he was "too Liberal" and now they are all following McCain going toward the Right, trying hard to appeal to the lowest common denominator among the Xtian Right, etc.

I say dump all the idiots and start appealing to the masses of well educated Americans in the suburbs and urban areas of all the major cities. Give the educated twice the intensity in their judgment and vote; decrease the power of the rural, backwoods and less educated populace so we can have a truly rational election.

This pandering to the morons and rednecks is really getting us in deep trouble - nationally, internationally, politically and economically. We are shooting ourselves in the foot, cutting off our nose to spite our face.

Don't let this happen to America again - no more cowboys, war heros, super-patriots and pandering to a Christian electorate who is narrow-minded, ignorant and prejudiced. Let's have an election that truly refects the collective INTELLIGENCE of the American People - and not disappoint the entire world for another four to eight years with our terrible judgment and bad actions.

This article is funny. Voters are uncomfortable with Obama, but it's "hard to understand why," unless they're "confused about his religion"? I'd say people are less confused than offended. They may not care that much whether Obama attended Koranic studies as a child, but they care a lot that he attended an openly racist eelbrain church for 20 years as a grownup.

The comments about Gramm are funny, too. Honestly, is there anyone who doesn't agree that Social Security is a "disgrace"? If it's so fabulous, why is it mandatory? -- except for legislators and unionized teachers, of course. I've never included the expectation of a Social Security check in my retirement plans, and I never will. It's a welfare tax, pure and simple. I'll never see a dime of it. I'd go beyond "disgrace" and start throwing around words like "fraud" and "lunacy."

Tell you all what: Let's see how the next poll for Newsweek will be AFTER Phil Gramm's incredibly stupid comments about most American's economic problems being in their heads, which in turn made them sound like whiners. We'll see the newest gap between Obama and McCain then. Otherwise, don't bother me with such trivial nonsense.
