Those are very good numbers for this moment in time...

WHAT 35% of idiots CAN ACTUALLY BELIEVE that the stinking Marxist Dimocrats will be better on National DEFENSE!!!!! As a military man, there is no way in hell I want a dimocrat as my commander in chief. Thank GOD above I retired before slick willie got into the White House!!!

[Always Right]

Great news. The Democrats are gonna get more and more shill and these polls keep showing a significant shift.

Now Republicans need to also focus on highlighting their difference from the Democrats on the economy and energy policies.

I would say the election is now McCain's to lose!

The Bear’s recent foray into Georgia may have reminded a few people of the obvious.

35% of registered voters are dims or lefty indies like Joe... but Joe disagrees with them this time. That 33-35% number never changes in any of these polls... not ever. Any question that would obviously out committed dims, always ends in a 33-35% margin.

Problem is, it is not mere perception, it is fact, Obama and the Democrats have done everything in their power to try and cripple and defeat...ourselves...with two wars ongoing.

From the early 07 “This war is lost” or “The Surge will not work” to just two days ago Obama saying “ I would still not vote in favor of the Surge”.

This is one of the three* reasons I supported a generally unpalatable John McCain, he said he’d rather lose an election then lose a war, I’d rather vote for a guy I disagree with and win the war(s) then allow my worldview to keep that from happening.

(The other three were RTKBA, Earmarks, taxes add in Sarah Palin at #4..loves me some Palin)

This is what I have been telling people in conversations this past week: Whom would you rather have as Commander-in-Chief, in charge of our nation's defense and security, which IS THE #1 job of any President--Barack Obama or John McCain? That makes things very clear. I trust John McCain with that job. I do not trust Barack Obama.

McCain had a great line the other night, something to the effect of, "I hate war. I have experienced it and seen it up close." That is reassuring. McCain will be serious and cautious about putting our boys in harm's way, yet he is not afraid to be a warrior when necessary.

[Carling]

Wow. Flattest material ever by Triumph. Could tell his heart wasn’t in it.

[Charles Henrickson]

I give McCain credit for being right on the Surge, which was a huge decision and shows McCain’s good judgment on things military.

"WHAT 35% of idiots CAN ACTUALLY BELIEVE that the stinking Marxist Dimocrats will be better on National DEFENSE!!!!!"

Did the poll specify which nation?

[185JHP]

The basic position/attitude difference between most Obama voters & most John/Sarah voters rests on things that are simple in concept, yet terrifically profound in its effects/implications for our future wellbeing: God Guns Guts
Different ideas that are bumper sticker-simple.

[sgtyork]

Yeah, and his fur looked fake too.

[Fred]

So, you did not like the line on Oberman and Matthews..

[Carling]

Didn't make it that far.

I did notice the GOPers looking the guy holding the puppet in the eye. It's as if Smigel didn't know what to do. The best moments of comedy for Triumph is when the idiot celebrities treat the puppet as a person and pay Smigel no attention.

JMO, though.

Other Marxist idiots!

Perhaps the question to voters should be...One of our major cities has just been nuked by Iran who do you want in charge?
