Yeah, you're probably right. Just not the people you think.

LOL, two days ago you had a thread called "Help Me" in which you claimed you had just voted early for Obama and wanted to know how to undo it. Today you're claiming you're voting for McCain. I seem to recall some Ralph Nader threads from you, too.



Wow, you're flip flopping more than McCain! Have you considered a career in politics?

McCain will win. The Dems internal polling in Pennsylvania, for example only have Obama up by 2%. That is why McCain is hammering PA away. If you add Obama calling people in PAS "bitter people clinging to guns and religion" and you add Dem Congressman Jack Murtha saying Western Pennsylvanians are "Rednecks" and "racist bigots"... you have a chance for MAC!


Obama has over-polled EVERY SINGLE TIME in this election, from New Hampshire to Kentucky primaries. You cannot rely on the liberal news polls.

I also remember one thing - the media and all the polls said that Dewey was going to smash Truman in the election and thus, it caused massive Rep turnout to stay home, as they figure Deweyw as a shoe-in.

WE all know how that's turned out.





VOTE GOP FRIENDS AND SMART DEMOCRATS! LET'S DEFEAT ISLAMIC-SYMPATHIZER, OBAMA! Obama!!

Uh, he's getting piled on because of faulty assumptions that his family equals every other family - and for calling pollsters Obama "thugs". If he just would have said, "I'm a democrat, but my heart is leading me to vote for Mccain", he would not be piled on. Your premise is wrong ... and your rant is based on a wrong premise.

I dont' see the Bradley effect worth hoping for. Obama won the primaries and he's going to win the General Election.

In parts of Pennsylvania I am convinced people are afraid to say they are going to vote for Obama. I am more then convinced.

It is the same thing around where I work, near downtown. I got the finger and some crazy guy in a van honking his horn like a lunatic for my "I love Sarah" and "Value Voters for McCain" stickers.

It is so bad I have had to laminate my bumper stickers and buy magnets and glue the magnets to my stickers. That way I can pull out my bumper stickers off when I park to avoid getting my car keyed/scratched up by one of the Obama roving hordes.

I also wanna point out to Joe The Plumber. All he did was ask a question from a presidential candidate and next thing you know, MSNBC (a/k/a/ Obama 2008 Media Wing of the Obama campaign) went out to INTIMIDATE this guy, digging up on Joe's life, etc.

I see a precedent here, a pattern where NO ONE will ask or question anything Obama and Congressional Democrats will do. If you do, they will come after you.

That is called FASCISM and TOTALITARIANISM. That is what Obama + Dem Congress + Liberal Obama-owned media will do if alkl 3 atre in power. Scary!
