Nb2d,
Nov 03, 2008
: Palin 2012, I can't wait for her to clean up the mess Obama and his socialist, code word Progressive; welfare state will create in the US.

The Congress lead by Reid and Pelosi with Obama will run rampant with big government, high taxes, and regulations while taking our rights away one at a time. We can join France in a world of elitist snobs in the good fight against capitalist and freedom while China and Russia win the heart and sole of the world with their Marxist and Lenin need to dominate. America the great is doomed to become mediocre at best. Who can the liberals blame with the republican conservatives out of the way? It will be us the individuals because we did not give enough to support the government mandates of tax and spend. It never ceases to amaze how governent spending is never equated to the fact the money for the endless programs that spin off huge inefficient bureaucracies is taken from those who work to provide the jobs that produce the capital.

Just think of the possibilities, open borders with hordes of illegal aliens to choke our schools, medical facilities, social programs and loss of national identity. An abortion clinic to kill the unborn on every corner, no more executions of the serial killers because life is sacred if you or one of the lucky ones to survive an abortion. Our Gay population will be able to be married by law in our formerly sacred institutions of worship because of a US law that will now control our morality by editing our Holy Bible to fit what our governments considers politically correct.

The next most protected group will be the peace loving Muslims who will be given tax supported Madras schools to teach the words of Allah, “ convert to Islam or die by the sword” with one other alternative to death or conversion being subjugation by paying atribute tax as a safur. Just when we thought the Muslims are finished we find that we or now under the Shari law. Finally our women can be put back in their place and stoned to death as punishment for being raped comes to mind. Or as Ann Coulter said if only they would stop killing us to prove how much they love peace.

But wait, there is more good news. Finally we can appoint those activist Judges who finally impose their will on the ignorant masses who had put their faith in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights that those poor uninformed founding fathers put in place as a noose around the necks of us the truly liberated. We should never be trusted to exercise free will when our government can do it for us so much better.

Finally we can have freedom of speech when Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, Michael Savage, and Mark Levine with are outlawed in favor of the more enlightened Al Gore.

The days of a country that held language, borders and culture as a meaningful unifying factor can be quickly be disassembled in favor of a true open society to pursue its own self interest as long as it meets with the approval of the politically correct philosophy of our all knowing government. Thank you Mr. Savage for platform of Language, Borders, and Culture, if only we had listened to you..

U Sneeds Change,
Nov 04, 2008
: @Nb2d
Well since it has been a Republican Pres and Republican Congress for most of last 8 yrs, since Dems only shifted into majority last 18 months, who has been driving this pathetic economy for last 8 yrs. As a Republican, very disappointed with McCain who has with time grown sour angry unstable corrupt; with economic disaster etc, his idiotic choice of dumbviciouspalin:
- clueless on pledge of allegiance, not to mention practically everything else
- governor 90 days/yr of population less than most modern cities or American counties
- says no real Americans except in a few states
- doesn't want to be part of U.S.,loves Alaska Independ. Party
- religious hypocrite abstinence? didn't know for 5 months pregnant h.s. dropout daughter
- corrupt fires people with elected power to just be spiteful, 'hell hath no fury'; troopergate
- spends $25000 taxpayer money on funtrips plane/hotel bills for kids brought i.e. 5 nights to a 4 hour business event
- cut funding 60% for special needs children until she has one
- makes rape victims pay for the rape kits yet got cozy with big oil for piles of cash
additionally, McNasty is more and more mentally shaky too angry PTSD; pathetic grad 894 of 899 crashed 5 warplanes gave info on his POW mates for better treatment disliked by Vietnam Vets and votes against improving Veterans benefits cheats on wife 1 after her traumatic disfiguring car crash and leaves her and 3 kids heartbroken, condescending elitist with 9 houses 13 cars and doesn't have much common decency can't shake hands or look people in the eye has mad rage outbursts 72 yrs old has cancer 4 times unhealthy 1 heartbeat away from trailertrashpalin pres; we can't have those two or more economic incompetence.

FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right: Today's Polls, 11/1
Nov 02, 2008

Submitted by Jonfa: As a final word of warning, proceed cautiously with any polls that were in the field last night. Friday nights are difficult enough to poll, and holidays are difficult enough to poll, but when a Friday night coincides with a holiday (in this case, Halloween), getting an appropriate sample is all but impossible.

Locris,
Nov 02, 2008
: This is beginning to look like a five-state election. Those states are Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Nevada. Essentially all relevant electoral scenarios involve some combination of these five states.

I should caution that by far the most likely scenario is that Obama wins some relatively decisive victory of anywhere from 3-12 points in the popular vote. If Obama wins the popular vote by anything in this range, he will find plenty of blue territory, accumulating somewhere between 300-400 electoral votes. The electoral math will matter very little.

Why I Simply Cannot Vote For Barack Obama

Scbalazs,
Oct 28, 2008
: I respect this guy's opinion, but he's presenting his views as independently-thought, but they're pretty much the standard talking points coming from the GOP. He lost me when he got to the "associations" point, since he's just regurgitating the GOP line, and if he really independently looked at both of these guys' associations, would find questionable on both sides. And really, Acorn, look it up, not any closer to Obama than it is to McCain (who was a keynote speaker from them in '06). These are both establishment men, who have both done admirable work for the country but have also compromised to get where they are. That's how our country works. If you really are going to make an independent decision (which probably nobody does), read the policies with a blind eye, listen to what reputable people (i.e. nobody online) says about them, look at their records. Ignore the talking points.

: @Macztar I too am voting for Bob Barr. As a member of the Libertarian party I have found the other candidates platforms leading away from a government based on the precepts of The United States constitution. Many will say that Libertarian candidates don't a have chance to get elected. The libertarian platform is the US Constitution. The future looks bleak for our republic. Libertarians will keep their integrity despite the outcome.

: In reading all the posted comments it appears that all the "experts" have had their say. Why haven't any of you stepped up to run for office if you're so darn smart? This is a country where the majority rules. And the majority for the last half of this sitting president's term has been trashed by the Democrats in Congress. Their pork barrel spending is bankrupting the country and you'd actually vote for more of them? Get a grip! Wake up and THINK for a change! Before the Dem's took over in the Congress there were LOTS of jobs and gas was really affordable. Now jobs are vanishing like the icebergs in the Arctic. (Maybe faster?) And gas is still WAY too expensive and I believe it's only lower than $3 per gallon until the election is over... and then, watch out! With the Socialists running Congress we're in for a REALLY rough road to travel. Our founding fathers would probably roll over in their graves if only they knew...

Shout it, blog it, twitter it and podcast it. The blogosphere is mightier then the sword! You, sir, are mightier then the sword! Mourning is for the dead. Democracy isn't dying on my watch.

: It's utter (and long discredited) disinformation, chiefly led by right-wing talkshow hosts who have no scruples about making completely unfounded assertions for ratings. (I know - I used to work with Michael Savage.)

Do you trust the non-partisan factcheck.org? http://tr.im/pq7 or PolitiFact http://tr.im/pq9 ? They debunked this b.s. back in June.

@calgaryguru You just confirmed what I said. Do you know how easy it is to get a copy of a birth certificate for purposes like this? I can't get on a cruise ship without an _original_ copy of my birth certificate and the Obama camp provides a photocopy for proof of citizenship? And answer me this, why FREEZE the records until AFTER the election? Come on man. All I'm saying is, if it's not an issue, just provide valid proof and everyone will shut up. If you leave room for speculation, there will be speculation.
