Let's see if things start to get back to normal now. Not much of a scheduel at all at the GOP site. I am sure they are put things in line as fast as they can.

What are you even talking about??? Now I hate Palin because I thought Fred gave a great speech? LMAO Um...okay. Whatever you say.

Clearly you have an agenda and attempting to have a discussion with you is fruitless. Enjoy your day.

I’m telling you this lack of awareness on these kinds of things is costing the Republican Party. I don’t care if I am in the minority, it doesn’t change the truth. The fact is, over-all, Fred has a small following, but it’s enough to cause damage to the Republican Party. It’s too bad that the base gets fractured by duds like Fred. He is a real disservice. Sorry you’re a fan. In his own way he is another Bob Dole only with a southern accent. Please don’t let that throw you. Without the accent he is just another Dole. It takes so little sometimes to pull people in. It’s amazing to me.

It would be unfortunate, if it is true, that Sarah Palin will have her teenage, pregnant daughter and the guy who got her pregnant sitting with them, thus making them targets of the media and diverting from issues.

I think it would be great. It would show that she is not ashamed, like the libs of all people think she should be, and she has her values on straight.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Whatever. The final Gallup poll in 2004 had Bush 49, Kerry 47, Nader 1, undecided 3.

Bush, of course, won, 50.7 to Kerry’s 48.3. In other words, undecideds who voted broke just about evenly.

Calling polls “BS” is a longstanding tradition here at FR. Just recall how everyone was saying in 2006 that the polls were “BS”. Well, as it happens, they weren’t. And they never are (the good ones, at least. Network and newspaper polls, I agree, are not nearly reliable as the big ones, including Gallup).

It is now widely known that the 2004 exit polls were manipulated in an attempt to help Kerry. Obviously the media will not admit this, but that is precisely what happened.

See this link:

http://thehill.com/dick-morris/those-faulty-exit-polls-were-sabotage-2004-11-04.html

But, the 2000 exit polls were pretty well spot on. They showed a narrow Gore victory in the “popular vote”. Which is, as we all know, precisely what happened.

In any event, I am not talking about exit polls here.

I am talking about the polls prior to the election and the fact is, they are quite accurate (the good ones). And if you look at realclearpolitics.com and use their average, that is a good snapshot as well.

The bottom line: as of TODAY, McCain is losing. We have ground to make up.

Pretending that is not the case is not helpful at all.

I believe we can do it, but we have to understand where we are.

Did anybody see on Fox News the look on Bechtol’s face, when he was told that O’Reilly’s going to interview Obama on Thursday. He was in a state of shock and disbelief. So much so, he put his head in his hands.

After a minute or two passed, he said, “I wouldn’t put him on that show, but if gets through it, it could be a plus for him.”

Too funny. :-)

Isn't that disgusting? Obama cares nothing about poor black Americans. His brother should thank his lucky stars that The One has never done anything for him.

A few years ago and I would agree but O’Reilly has changed. When the Clinton’s were in office,that would have been the time O’Reilly would have given Obama a good interview. He’s more or less lame now.

I meant the biased libs were full of BS not you...

I distinctly recall some reporters saying this was a Kerry landslide by exit polling...in effect trying to get the Bush voters to go home early, much as they did in the Florida panhandle for Gore back in 2000.

So yeah, it’s all about the legit. polls sure but it’s ALSO about manipulation, as you pointed out.

To assert liberals can somehow be objective in polling with all the evidence of being so blatantly biased in their reporting is absurd.

So yes, it’s a matter of weeding out objectivity and this is simply not going to happen with liberals.

As we know.

Who is narrating the Reagan piece? It sounds like a East Coaster.

Sounded like George Segal?

Agreed.

My only caution is that the good ones (ie, the ones who do this as a business rather than for propaganda purposes) have generally been pretty accurate. So I fear that we are (for the moment) trailing.

I believe we can turn it around. Tonight will start that process! Woo hoo!

Oh yes, we need to take this fight to them right up in their stupid faces until the vote!

Take nothing for granted...we probably are trailing and it’s little wonder after the full force of the hypocrat smear machine in overdrive...

So far I’d give us a C-...barely passing grade in response to it.

But the beauty of this party is we often don’t HAVE to get in the gutter with them...as President Bush, Fred Thompson showed a few minutes of hard hitting fact disarms WEEKS of their attacks!

W said if McCain can survive the north vietnamese prison guards for 5 years, then you know he can handle the ‘angry left’!

PRICELESS!

Fred said something about McCain won’t need to rely on a teleprompter much less look to leaders from other countries for approval.

BRILLIANT!

I can hardly wait till tonight!
