Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

I have no idea how this became such a close race. I understand that Palin is popular. However, after fact checking so much that she says she is a champion of is false. Plus, she is under investigation. PLUS, she who stands behind abstinence can't even teach it in her own home. What the hell is wrong with Americans?

Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

well first of all, most of these polls only call registered voters who have voted in a previous election, and who have a landline.

obama's voter registration drives have registered over 150,000 in VIRGINIA ALONE! if instead of doing polls by phone, they made it a national man on the street thing, the numbers would be MUCH different.

anyone who thinks this election is gonna be even remotely close is in for a surprise. come november, it's gonna be an early tuesday evening.

Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

One thing to consider is this -- McCain is enjoying a bounce right now, most of which you can probably attribute to Palin, but she might well be at her apex in terms of her ability to bring new voters over the McCain -- from the numbers right now, she's unlikely to contribute to a further rise in McCain's numbers, primarily because we're just not going to see a heck of a lot from her (at least the way things are currently slated to occur).

Politics is all about "what have you done for me lately," and if she's not around, she runs the risk of the McCain/Palin numbers dropping.

Also, her popularity right now is based upon her acceptance speech and what people [B]think [/B]she believes on this issues -- when she actually takes some positions on things, she risks either throwing a wet blanket on the far right that is so fired up right now, or scaring the hell out of moderates.

I'm trying to envision a situation where she has a realistic opportunity to really help McCain pick up more points, and I'm having a tough time doing it.

Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

^ basically it boils down to you having one extra chromosome.

what's funny is that everything she said is besides the most pertinent issues involving her candidacy, so as you can see, even side notes are quite troubling.

agree 100%

shosh, if you are going to call someone retarded, at least have some CONCRETE evidence to prove your opinion. otherwise, keep your name calling to yourself.

if you would take a minute and actually educate yourself and learn about the REAL Palin, you would be surprised that everything she said above is True.

just because she might not be republican, is not a reason to dislike anyone.

what i said was enough explanation. your entire post was just retarded.

but i will humor you:

  • what she is a champion of is false? like what?
  • then you give the first plus: she's under investigation... did you even bother to read about it? kthx
  • how do you know what she teaches in her own home? just because she teaches it, doesnt mean her children are going to follow it. they do have free will, or she could tie her down or provide a chastity belt. but if she did that, the liberals would raaaaage about that as well. so for you to even say that shows how retarded your post is. i teach my dogs how to use the bathroom outside but every now and then they have accidents and they piss on the damn tile. what does that say of me?

Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

it sure is funny though, the night and day treatment Bill O'Reilly gave to the pregnancies of Bristol Palin and Britney Spears' little sister. lol, what's the first thing he says about Spears' situation- "here, it's the fault of the parents for letting her run wild". But with the Palins, it's some close personal family matter not to be touched.

[B]Religion. All religion is man-made, false. Anyone who believes in an invisible being in the sky is about as crazy as people who wear straight jackets. And yes that goes for Democrats too.[/B]

  • then you give the first plus: she's under investigation... did you even bother to read about it? kthx

[B]She is under investigation for abusing her power. She wanted a police officer fired because he wronged her sister. She ordered someone else to fire him and they didnt want to, so she took it into her own hands. She has done this many times in the past. The whole banning of the library books thing and now this. We had a president for the past 8 years who abused his power, you sure you want a Vice President that will do the same? I sure dont.[/B]

[B]Yes it is her fault. Kids nowadays have it easy. Once they do something wrong, they have nobody to kick em in the ass anymore. It is called Discipline, and those kids have gotten none of it.[/B] [/QUOTE]

they are starting to see the hard numbers and realizing that barak is promising shit god couldnt deliver. and frankly.. a lot of ppl in the country hate blacks. cut and dry there. we cant change that. being honest here, as i hate barak just a little bit less than mccain, both hate them both a lot.

Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

this whole election is a perfect physchological explanation of ppl cannot empathize thier thoughts and feelings. lib's lack the mental capacity why ppl would vote for mccain, adn republicans simply dont want to .

Re: how the hell did mccain make this a near dead heat?

[quote=ddr;646889]see answers above.[/quote]

Thank you ddr for stepping in and answering. You are correct on all accounts. One thing I do want to say is about not being able to control children. This is very true I have one of my own. My point is that you should not only teach abstinence in schools because children need to be educated on all aspects of sex. Children do not always listen to their parents and parents definitely cannot control their children. It is irresponsible to think anything different. And, her daughter is fortunate that a baby was the outcome and not something deadly.

Lastly, even though I do not agree with much on the Republican side of the fence I appreciate the discussion and do not feel the need to resort to name calling. If you feel I am wrong in your opinion tell me why.

Other ways include nailing him on his traditional weak points...many people are still wary of a candidate who is inexperienced and who they fear will raise their taxes.

btw...it's [I]really[/I] mature to come into this forum and call other people "retarded", just because they don't agree with your own opinion... doesn't say anthing about the person you're calling names; says a whole lot about you.
