Try this verbatim quote:
Military voters, who favored President Bush in 2004, have overwhelmingly been making donations to the Obama campaign over Mr. McCain, a decorated Vietnam veteran. The Democratic ticket has made frequent visits to the pockets of Virginia and North Carolina that boast big populations of military families. Dozens of troops and their children waited to catch a glimpse of Mr. Obama at a recent rally in Fayetteville, home of Fort Bragg.
Hear that? Dozens!
And there is no verification that they are really troops; and their children are only registered by Acorn.
And get a load of the follow-up quotes:
"I have a child with diabetes and I have a son who did two tours in Iraq. And I just feel like President Bush, with his policies, has tried to kill both of my kids," said Mrs. Pirner, a teacher in Barrackville, W.Va.
They are quoting TEACHERS from to prove that North Carolina is going for Barack?
Even for a troll, this should have stood out as enough to discredit the article.
Now we move into the class warfare "worst economy in the last 50 years" Jeremiad:
They have seen record unemployment, and young families that moved there from more expensive parts of the Northeast are seeing their health care costs skyrocket.
Record unemployment? As of July 2008, according to CNN, Virginia unemployment was 4.0%. West Virginia was 5.3%. North Carolins was 6.0%.
Sigh. Sometimes there are so many fish in the barrel, you run out of ammo.
Better luck next time, troll.
Cheers!
“Better luck next time, troll”
Cheers back to you, my FRiend.
We will see in another week just how North Carolina and Virginia vote.
I would prefer to see overwhelming majorities for McCain. But I think the results are going to be dismaying.
How’s the Virginia Republican for the Senate polling, as of late?
