But Joe the plumber is being villified for asking the messiah a question!

Which exposes the conspiracy to deny him his civil rights.

. Our oppressive PC enviornment is well known to our citizens. You learn to keep your mouth shut. Criticise a black or any “protected” minority and your in trouble. People have had careers destroyed because they did not follow the PC rule of speech.

I guess I am a slow learner. I have no intention, now that I can use my age as a weapon, to shut up and let a bunch of jackbooted snotnoses run roughshod over me--and they won't, not unless I run out of ammo.

I don't give a d@mn what color they are, what god they claim to worship, what country their grandaddy came from, so it isn't anything to do with race--and I won't let them brand me that way either.

Either we have the stones to stand up and fight when words will do, or we will live in slavery or pay in blood not to.

“down, way down in VA? How can you go before screaming and cheering crowds of 20,000 in Norfolk and elsewhere in the state and be so far down in the polls? How is that possible?”

I was actually at the rally in Richmond...I’m here to tell ya...the polls are absolutely-F’n BS...pure and simple...

The simple fact of the matter here is — the lamestream media is pissing on my shoe and trying to convince me it’s raining outside...

...since we never see Obama signs in front of homes flying the flag

I have seen empty flagpoles in yards where there were Obama signs as well.

The state that makes me believe this most is West Virginia. Obama lost that state to Hillary by 30-40 points or something ridiculous like that. He has been polling ahead of Mccain in some cases. That makes no sense.

Palin is coming to Indy today (actually Verizon Wireless Music Center; outdoor concert venue in Hamilton County, near Fishers). About 20,000 tickets available. All gone within 48 hours of the announcement of the visit. Don’t tell me the luster is off; this woman has rock star appeal AND common sense political philosophies.

Good points. However, it is not your neighbors you need to worry about, its outsiders driving by. I also live in a very mixed neigborhood and think my neighbors are great, still I would not put up a mac sign for the reason above. So far I have seen only one sign up in my neigborhood and it is a McCain/Palin sign, though it is slightly hidden behind some bushes.

I think the author has one thing wrong. It will be a landslide and it will be for McCain.

And these Hillary supporters know all about the Obama Campaign voter fraud! Spread these videos around to Obama supporters so they see just exactly what Obama ties to voter fraud looks like! Their fellow Democrats know for sure!

That's exactly what I thought in 1992.

Me too. I spent eight years shaking my head.

there are an army of Lawyers and radicals that will keep this in the courts

The trouble in the courts won't be the half of it.

Violence in the streets will be immediate and horrific.

I share your concern. Never underestimate the stupidity of sheeple. Remember what Criswell said to Ed Wood: “It’s all about razzle-dazzle. Appearances. If you look good, and you talk well, people will swallow anything.” The electorate is getting ready to swallow a huge load of horse $hit in the form of their False Messiah Odouchebag. But they don’t care. American Idol is still on, and The Chosen One will open the public coffers wider for the degenerates and the moochers. Spreading the wealth, you know.

but some will not vote at all or vote for 3rd party. basically letting obama win

Really, where are all the libertarians on this site that are usually around here during election time letting us all know they are voting 3rd party? Not happening this year because they are just as terrified of Obama as most republicans. If there is a 3rd party vote this year it will be dems voting green which is doubtful because the crazies of the left are fully behind Obama.

I seem to recall a general fear of REagan losing. Were’t the polls very close just before election?

Yes they were. Polls always are played around with this way, at least the ones they report in the MSM. A large republican bump after their convention then dems hugely overtake Republicans and in the last 2 weeks of the election they Begin to bring them back close and that last week there is a statistical dead heat.

I told everybody after the convention bounce we would not see real polling until the week of the election. Only way to get real polling is to see the internal campaign polls and in the past watch the state polls (I do not think they have been real either in some instances this year).

This is why you need to always see the weighting of the polls to judge how much you are being messed with. Without seeing the internals of the polls they are a waste of time!

We put Republican signs in our yard every election. I’m not worried at all, we’ve never had any problems. Those with Obama signs in their yards don’t have any problems either. Our main problem is after the election, the neighborhood association really gets on everyone to get the signs out of their yard, whether they be Republican or Democrat (this happens in local races too.) The association thinks they “clutter up” the neighborhood, LOL.

Our neighborhood has the lowest crime rate of any neighborhood in our fairly large city, and we have been successfully integrated for over 20 years. Our poll workers are usually older black ladies, who are Democrats, I’m sure, but are extremely helpful and pleasant, even though they know we’re Republicans (you can’t hide that fact during a primary because we use different ballots.)

I was just refuting the original article that said it’s scary to declare yourself a Republican in an integrated setting...that’s just not always true.

I agree. I’m very afraid that fraud will decide this election. Look at Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida. We will need a huge turnout to offset those votes for the “chosen one”.

I’m a Dem who will be voting for McCain/Palin, but I dare not say that around family, friends or at work. In order to avoid conflict, I just say I’m not satisfied with either candidate and will not vote. I’ve got into a very heated debate with a co-worker who could not tell me one accomplishment of Obama, but spent all her time trashing McCain and calling Palin stupid. When I disputed all her false claims and she stormed off in a huff. Later on she admitted that she’s not even a citizen and can’t vote, but doesn’t understand why I, a Black woman, would not vote for Obama.

There is a silent majority who WILL NOT pull the lever for Obama and for many of us, it has nothing to do with race. It’s about love of country and my gut tells me Obama is bad news!

But what is the RNC prepared to do if Obama wins the battleground states by close margins? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
