yeh, it’s BS....so are the Rasmussen polls, and the Gallup Polls and 99% of the polls out there...

for cripes sake people- WAKE UP!!!!

McCain and the Republicans are getting their butts beat because they fight like little girls...they never point out how the rats are responsible for the mortgage crisis, they never call out the media for their biased views, they never take hold of whatever advantage comes their way....they constantly get abused by the rats and seemingly could care less...

but all these polls trending toward hussien are wrong....what an effin joke!!!!

Polling has several purposes. It tells a propagandist how well its working. It tells him how he needs to refocus his propaganda.

It helps to shape public opinion by convincing people they are on the winning or losing side.

And it prepares the ground for electoral fraud. If the polls have been telling you your man is losing, you won’t question the returns too closely when he loses. Or if you beat the fraud artists, and you manage to win, the bogus polls will provide the justification for legal challenges after the fact; if you can find a judge who can “award” the election the polls will help to provide political cover.

you know during this bail out I wanted and expected to see republicans coming out and saying about Franks and Dodds, I wanted to see more about ACORN and mention obama in the same sentence.

McCain has been saying nice things , not naming names

well when on earth is he going to realise it is not working

Don’t worry about the polls, worry about winning. The polls will take care of themselves.

All polls are saying the same, ALL

the fact is we are losing now and we need to fight back plus realise where we are .

we’;re going to lose if we are in denial about all of this.

we should have always fought like we were losing instead of being nice

I hope you are right but I am really not taking too much faith lately into how McCain has dealt with this last two weeks.

Even the debate McCain should have named names and brought up ACORN to the public but never

yeap, it is all but over for us. I hate to say it but Obama is going to be 44th President. I will not call him my president, and we are headed for 4 Carter years with high interest rates, gas lines, tax hikes, but hell this is what the stupids want, this is what they will get.
