We’ve been screwed for a long time now. But it’s good you finally realize it.
I hope you’re not basing your woes on poll numbers...
If I remember correctly, GW was much farther behind at this time in 2004....
keep the faith bud :)
I like sucking bright-colored lollipops and making my tongue turn different hues.
Man Up!
If STUPID Americans vote for such a LIGHT-WEIGHT and a MARXIST to boot, then our country is beyond screwed....it is OVER....never to come back.....and with our history of ABORTIONS, I think God has drawn back the cloak of grace that HE has bestowed on this country.
You girly man. Get some backbone and keep fighting..one bad week of polls and the doomsayers are out in force.
Sounds like some DU pansies too me.

“...Bill Clinton on Thursday told ABC’s Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been “resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac” ...
Wight or weong we will soon cee.
Over, did you say OVER? Nothing is over until we decide it is! was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!?
If it’s the polls that scare you...quit reading the polls.
We’re 5 weeks out, lots can happen.
Hillary, early on in the primary was written off (not great analogy because she did lose to 0), but my point is she was behind in some polls by 13 points in the NH primary, and she won it.
I don’t know whether to believe the polls or not, but I do know that during the primaries Barry overpolled, so I don’t put a lot of stock in them.
It’s up to McCain (and the Republicans) at this point. They have to stand up and make the Dems own their problems. So far, IMHO, everybody on our side has been too timid to call a spade a spade (and that’s not a racist remark, LOL.)
The MSM is desperately trying to shut this down now — that’s what’s getting to you. Agitprop.
IMHO, it’s time to be concerned, but it’s not time to head for the lifeboats. 0bama has benefited greatly from the (false) perception that the bailout is due to “Bush-McCain policies.” He also held it together in the first debate, enough that coming in second didn’t hurt him.
And yet, for all that, it’s only a 5-6 point gap nationally, and closer that that in some of the battleground states that are now leaning 0bama. It won’t be easy, but those numbers can be moved, IMHO. I think the following 3 things are key:
-McCain’s got to drive home the truth behind the Fannie/Freddie mess and the nature of the bailout. Bill Clinton has given him a helping hand by pointing out Congressional Democrats blocked reforms during his own administration. McCain needs to run with that.
-McCain also has to start nailing 0bama on the specifics of his spending plans. There’s plenty of material there than can and should scare the dickens out of the taxpayers. Exposing the sham of 0bama’s “middle-class tax cut” alone ought to swing some voters.
-Finally, McCain needs to redouble his efforts to attack on the energy issue, and Sarah Palin needs to be the tip of the spear. She’s got more experience and knowledge on this issue than anyone else on either ticket.
Sheesh give Mac a day to breathe. I have great faith that he will pull another Macattack this week or next. :D
Think good thoughts - like an October strike against Iran.
BTW instead of handwringing we should read and pass this around.

The story has been written, Republicans blew yet another, gift wrapped opportunity to win this election, by telling the truth, exposing Frank & Dodd, and standing up for conservative principles .
They failed Reagan again, this time I fear it's for good.
It's time to abandon this fraudulent, power sharing, 2 party system. 1n 1996 it was their turn, now it's their turn again. How else can you explain the gross incompetence and malfeasance?
Republicans don't want to win this year, & no matter who is in power, the Government continues to get bigger..
It's time to abandon the National Party, and run & support candidates on the local & state level in new parties, whether it be the Conservative Party, the Piedmont Party,or the Blue Cockatoo Party. It would give the local papers something to write about, and give Talk Radio something to talk about.
And when the newly elected Senators & Representatives go to Washington, they can caucus with whomever they want and will not be beholden to such asshats like Trent Lott, & Denny Hastert, who just tote the RNC/DNC line.
Take the power away from Washington and return it to the states. We elect them to do just that, yet they fail us time and again, it's time to take matters into our own hands.
Conservatism wins every time it is tried, so lets play that card every time.
Two days ago, Zogby was predicting a McCain electoral landslide. Pull yourself together and remember these two words “Wilder Effect”
God bless you, ‘W’. God has a way of humbling each of us in our turn. He sure as heck has humbled me.
Ping!
