As I seem to state often on this thread, you wonder why nobody takes you all seriously?
People who work for minimum wage are usually too young or too dumb to vote.

And you are an economic genius I take it!?

Let me break it down for you:

Use Government force to Raise my workers rate of pay

I am forced to Raise the cost of what my workers produce

You .. are Forced to Pay More at the checkout line!

Nothing .. I repeat nothing (well maybe forced inflation) has changed except your continuing ignorance of how the Free Market works.!

So now .. Those $1.00 fries Now cost you $2.00!

And You think WE should take YOU seriously?

Or if they vote, they will vote for people like Barrack Hussein Saetoro Abdul Nobama, just like that black woman crying after Obama was elected, she thought Obama was going to pay for her mortgage and put gas in her car hahaha

Also note .. We don't EVEN have to have a named candidate to be in the lead!




"Republican Candidate" Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%
This is before a candidate has been chosen, debates have taken place etc. We've got a long way to go. I recall a certain somebody here who posts polls non stop to validate their position on McCain's pre election strength and that turned out to be a whole lotta nuthin'.

If Obama actually put his heart and soul (if he has one) into doing his job, instead of constantly campainging, we might be doing better. But as he walks away from inportant talks with Congress, as the country hangs in the balance, well, his little temper tantrums will not get him re elected.
I for one do not need a preschooler as a president.

You said you did your research, you provided no evidence of said research.....

I don't know. Republican and Democrats alike have been major disappointments. I say we give the kids a chance!

Bottom line, if the economy shows signs of improving, Obama will cruise to re-election. If it doesn't, he'll be in a tough race against a reasonably electable GOPer (*cough not Bachmann, Palin, Cain, Paul or Santorom cough*)
The last I heard was that Palin is now in the lead and she isn't even running, yet. She says she will maker announcement in late summer. She may be really elected by the time she gets into the race.

In other words, you have zero evidence to back up your claim that Gallup is a left-leaning organization. Fail.
