Barack Obama, unraveling in Illinois? Still leads in poll of Chicago dead voters.
One small Voice

Posted on 09/24/2004 7:09:33 AM PDT by 1smallVoice

Each day that goes by has people asking 'Where's Obama?' The democrat candidate for Illinois Senate has been MIA as Alan Keyes has cris-crossed the state of Illinois exposing Obama's liberal voting record. People are starting to hear the truth and Obama is losing support downstate.

The Chicago dead still support Obama by a large margin.

I agree. I had high hopes for him but he has proven himself to be a completely incompetent candidate. He has no political sense.

Exactly. Keyes's main problem is his faith. He has no idea how to control it from a political standpoint. Bush is almost cuddly about his religion, you get the feeling that it really aspires him a be a good, compassionate person. Keyes, in comparison, just comes out looking like a fanatical psychopath. When a Republican is running for a Senate seat, you don't insult the Republican Vice President's daughter because you feel what she's doing is a sin. Great way to make sure you get NO votes. Keyes is an abysmal failure, and a danger to the party.

Why all the controversy - would it have been better if Obama ran uncontested? I guess some think so.

Yes, I think it would. If Obama ran unopposed then he would be "Obama, the man who ran against nobody, and won." But now he will be "Obama the giant killer", "Obama, the man who took on the great Conservative hope, and creamed him by 45 points". All Alan Keyes is doing is adding to the Obama mystique. He's going to build Obama up to be something bigger than he has any right to be. He's the best thing to happen to Obama since the DNC speech.

Keyes is not a typical politician, he answers their questions and the media hates him for it.

What is Obama's position on reparations? gun control? Gay agenda?

He supports a government giveaway to some people by suspending all their income taxes for a period of time.

It's not only wrong, it wouldn't work even if any sane person agreed that "reparations" should be made.

Everything you know about Keyes has come throught a liberal media filter. Are you happy about this? Do you not care that you are not being told the truth?

Do you really know who Obama is?

Obama was raised a Muslim in Jakarta Indonesia. Where have you heard this little fact from the media? You have not. WHY?

The word is Obama is doing exactly what the Keyes candidacy was supposed to prevent: campaigning in other states for other Democrats. He's 45% up in the poll of live people, this one is over.

Neither. He's a good man who makes a terrible politician, and who should have stayed in Maryland.

I already know what he thinks, he's a big government authoritarian. I don't need to know anything else.

Obama will make Carol Mostly Brawn look like Margaret Thatcher, just as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch makes Pravda look like the Limbaugh Letter.

The Post-Dispatch poll is consistent with the Trib poll done Aug. 13-16. In that one, it was Obama 65%-Keyes 24%. In this one, it's Obama 68%-Keyes 24%. If the candidates have done internal polling that shows differently, I haven't seen it.

You hear wrong. While I do not support Obama for office, it is wrong to lie about him.

Age: 42, born Aug. 4, 1961, in Hawaii. His firstname, Barak, means "blessed by God" in Swahili.

Religion: Member of United Church of Christ.

I don't doubt the polls. I was sarcastically referring to the title of this thread as the correct poll, all others being unconstitutional per Keyes.

If a journalist want's to depict FR and a den of right wing loons, a couple of Keyes threads would do the trick.

No, he’s a muslim, not a Christian. He’s supported by terrorists.

His dad (an economist he met once before he died when Obama was 2) was associated with terrorists.

He’s a stealth candidate fueled by shifty, terror connected sources.

Did I mention he’s a stealth Muslim?

How do I know all this? I read a couple of Keyes threads, don’t need any more proof than that.

You might note my comment in 59. These threads should serve as an embarrassment to FR.

If a journalist want's to depict FR and a den of right wing loons, a couple of Keyes threads would do the trick.
