I fear you are correct

It is very sad the number of people on this forum who fell for the lies of the liberal media and consider it as the golden truth. They believe their biased polls, they believe all the fabricated doom and gloom scenarios that the media unleash each minute, they now believe the lies that McCain is fighting with Palin over the style of campaigning, they believe that is all over and we cannot win.
Yet those are the same people who make fun for what they like to call “sheeple” and say that they are controlled by the media but in reality they are worse than any “sheeple” because they fall for all the lies and fabrication that the media spew constantly.
They are the one who lecture Republicans to get a spine or balls or whatever macho word they like to use in each comment they post but yet they have already surrendered and declared all is lost and we cannot win.
For the vast majority of us Freepers we are going to fight and we are going to win and will never believe the lies and fabrications of the media.
The events of just one day can change a political campaign. - I think the polls are generally a crock, and some are manipulated to the advantage of the Democrats in order to attract those who always want to be “on the winning side”.
The only problem with this is that if Obama wins this will be pretty close to impossible to do. Obama, with what will probably be a pretty heavily controlled dem Senate and House, will bring back the "Fairness" Doctrine and take steps to regulate political speech on the internet, leaving the MSM free to act as a dem socialist mouthpiece with even less opposition then they have now. What we are witnessing is an attempted political, cultural, and societal Socialist Coup in this nation with the results of this election determining if said coup will succeed. If it does succeed, if the socialists win next month, then I fear that the damage done to this country will be so great that any attempted redemption will take decades to accomplish, if it can be accomplished at all.
I have some ideas that we can discuss. I will talk to you or e-mail you this week.
jveritas ping!
One of the best FReepers EVER, IMO.
I’ve never seen so many defeatist as I am this year. Playing right into the democrats playbook they are. Listen to the MSM, they speak truth to power (not).
You guys all think McCain is leading?
Could we start a thread asking for personal stories for such a video?
How about using quotes from people with powerful images that would represent their personal stories like you stated in post 117?
They could actually provide the photo of their American experience?
Its time for me to do a very positive video
Seems to me I'm seeing a large influx of disruptors, either gnashing their teeth and flailing their arms, or YELLING, insulting and generally rabble rousing incoherently.
The DUmmies are probably enjoying the scene, laughing hysterically at us!
Another vanity post we don’t need. Especially one that attacks some FReepers for posting their opinion that just so happens to be based on the facts.
If you want to ignore everything the media reports, so be it. Sounds kinda paranoid to me. Singling out some FReepers for not be excited about a poorly run campaign by John McCain, in of itself, is pure whining. If you want to ignore the polls, have at it. I guarantee you, the McCain campaign isn’t ignoring the polls.
Yes a lot of them signed up this year.
Awesome! Thanks for voicing my thoughts!
Amen. There are MANY ways to fight - and FR is a resource showing some of those ways.
One way for Christians in the fight to “wage war” is in prayer.
Christians (huge minority) in India practice concerted, united prayer and turned what looked like, even up to the DAY of their elections, like s total trumph for the Anti-Christians in India.
God intervened and the anti-God, anti-Christ forces LOST.
So it will be in this country IF all those who call themselves Christians get serious in prayer.

of course, we must WORK, volunteer, talk to others, be poll watchers, give $, give informative flyers wherever you can - doctor’s offices, hair/nail salons, barbershops, any small business, grocery stores, GET OUT and GET BUSY -
But we must pray.......as if our very lives depend on it. Because in many ways - they do.
Thank you for your encouraging post. I don’t care if it is a vanity.
What facts? Are you referring to the polls that showed Kerry winning? Are you referring to the polls that showed Gore wining?
What's that line "If you tell a falsehood enough times people will start to believe it"? That's what's going on here.
If you believe all is lost go buy another bottle of peroxide and watch another hour of Oprah. Why bother to post unless you have another motive?
It is obvious that they do have differences over how to campaign, and correspondingly are each campaigning differently.
