Like 90% of the polls have had Obama in the lead but Ive been following presidential elections my whole life and the polls are often wrong. They say that polls are often innacurate when minority candidates are running for office since some people still have the politeness to hide their rascisms from pollsters.

That's true, Mirror. But..polls are not accurate. But..it can give us some information. Election day will tell all.

That would be because their ratings need McCain and Obama to be locked in bitter but close struggle.

Problem with the polls is that the same people answer those things.

I never do... Many other people don't and for that very reason the polls are skewed in that they are missing a LARGE piece of the real voter base.

I do not reply to polls because I want to hear what the canditate ACTUALLY believes in, not what they think I want to hear based on their polled data.

Unfortunately I am mostly disapointed... None of our prospective applicants have the courage I want to see. Not even the revered Ron Paul.

and right now, from what I can see of the future of this country.

Founding Father style courage is needed and yes Betsy Ross style courage from our accomplished women leaders. I find that sadly lacking when it comes to hoe down and root hog or die.
Instead we seem to have Benedict Arnolds at every cash cow sucking blindly from what will soon be empty teats.

the pollsters are always around the grocery stores here where I live in California.

I smile and nod and they always turn away.

from time to time, i watch them from a distance to see who they talk to.

try it sometime.

really.

you will be amazed at what you see.


The prejudice and patronizing filters and condescension of the left are glaringly visible.

they only approach people that fit certain visual images.


usually unsuccessful, poor, minorities, and tattered souls.


think this is bullsh!t?

watch them sometime and see for yourself that they are attracted to visual images projecting a particular image.


It is uncanny.

those polls won't work to show anything credible.



case in point.

The exit polls after that last election.

totally off base and opposite of the outcome, huh?

Palin is a moron awash in oil revenue taxes, hence her popularity.

What does Palin's approval rating have to do with her alleged "qualifications"? If that's all you can whip out ... They're hardly the same thing.
A jaw-dropping article from last week by Tim Wise: (I'm an Obama supporter, and this made ME think long and hard about a lot of things) --- also gives great insight into the TRUE masters of spin (and it ain't the left, baby).

Maybe, if enough fundamentalist crazy soccer moms vote for McCain because they love Sarah Palin (she's one of us!)

Some still pissed off former Hillary supporters could vote for him as revenge against Obama.

Privledge is when you do nothing with your life but play makebelieve.

You wear cloths with some absurd name attached to them.

Parade down a red carpet with reporters spaced at stratigic distances so you may show off your $10,000 bling, $5,000 dress, $600 shoes and $3,000 hand bag (while people a few states over are scrambling just to be able to eat as they pick up the pieces of their smashed lives).

Spout inane comments on a subject you know absolutelly nothing about.

Brag about all the things you have done wrong and gotten away with.

Sue people that tell you truths about how you are acting.

And then get rewarded with little golden idols for you useless lives.

COURIC: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?

PALIN: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie--that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.

COURIC: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

PALIN: He's also known as the maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about--the need to reform government.

COURIC: I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?

PALIN: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

Palin really CHOKED in that interview!

Yikes!
