Actually, Obummer’s “popularity” is slim to none (if you think a 6 point lead under 50% is awesome).

That’s right to the point, Emjem24!

If Obama is such a “sure thing,” as the MSM and LGM want us to believe, then why is he unable to break the fifty percent approval thresh-hold and shake McCain by putting significant distance between his poll numbers and McCain’s?

Obama’s oppressive popularity is the biggest media over-hype (read: exaggeration) since global warming.

When you have lemons, make lemonade. Obama is far more popular than McCain, so the McCain campaign criticizes Obama for being the more successful politician. McCain also blames Obama for high gas prices and complains that Obama refuses to take symbolic steps that dirty our country without making much difference on gas prices.

John McCain, the politician who acts like one!

Mathman:

Sniff. Sniff. Here’s a tissue for you to wet.

Anyway… Obummer, using lobbyists, promising anything (and then with the utmost expediency changing his mind) to get elected, saying derogatory things to blue collar Americans, hanging around a anti-American preacher for 20 years isn’t a typical politician?

Actually, Obummer’s “popularity” is slim to none (if you think a 6 point lead under 50% is awesome). With zombie supporters like yourself saying he’s handsome, and groovy and that’s what counts for president he should be creaming McCain. Oh, that’s right he hasn’t sealed the deal.

Your love affair with Obummer though, is a little disturbing. You really do need to get a room. If you don’t think this dope won’t sell you and your precious little liberal family down the river for his own personal amusement, perhaps he’ll let you sacrifice yourself for his new world order.

Does anybody have a photoshop for this? Blind Mule? Anyone?

There are four donkeys in suits holding signs. They read, in order –

“No drilling in ANWR.”
“No nuclear power.”
“No new oil refineries.”
“Bush has no energy policy.”

The socialists want what socialism does best; have everyone equally share misery. Except for the socialist elites…

Considering that liberals and their OPEC allies are blaming the speculators, an immediate move to drill will immediately bring down gas prices.

LGM, I think you just want there to be high gas prices just so people will stop driving.

It would have worked in 1940, but either people drive, or they don’t work. They don’t work, that means no money for the government and it can’t fund the precious liberal NGO’s.

Think about it, LGM.

There you all go again. Picking on smokers. Just like the liberals you berate for ‘knowing what is best for you’, we just happen to be one of the last groups you can pick on. As Jim White used to say on KMOX radio, ‘Save me from the good people.’

I smoke in private, my house, my car, outdoors, not around you – so get a life and move on.

Nobody was picking on smokers. I was making the point that we have not seen in the MSM pictures of Obama doing it…because it would make him look bad in the eye’s of libtards. But of course we see the MSM displaying PR types of pics that are along the line of what the Obama campain would show.

Sadly, McCain is a believer in ManBearPig and speaks the shibboleths of that fraudulent religion. Just as it would be anathema for us to renounce our personal faiths, McCain will not renounce his faith in man-made global warming and the passel of liberal canards that comprise the Catechism of these environment extremists and anti-capitalists.

For a sample of what passes for “deep Republican thought” (a double oxymoron, with the emphasis on the “moron” part) about energy policies, try to stay awake while reading this blather from the RNC Chairman, Robert M. Duncan. I think it’s about how Obama doesn’t have an energy policy and McCain does, but it’s so vaporous and busy with avoiding the fact that McCain is a ManBearPigist, it means little and will result in nothing.

My girlfriend was reading the paper a few weeks ago and saw a chart detailing the respective policy positions of Obama and McCain and remarked upon how similar they were on so many things. I told her that was the problem with this election. Instead of a clear choice between opposing viewpoints – liberal vs. conservative – we have a moderate liberal facing an extreme radical socialist, but the socialist looks really good on TV and is blessed with fawning airbrushed coverage by a fellow traveling Treason Media.

Just as in 2006, we’re going to be told that the lessons of the electoral results mean the opposite of what they really did:

* If Obama loses, it will because of the seething racism of bitter, angry, threatened white people. Our shame will be apparent to the world and we will decline even further in their view.

* If McCain loses, it will be because the public has rejected the religious extremism and cruel conservatism he stood for. Only by moving far, far, FAR to the left will they possibly be considered moderate enough to be trusted with a bit of power.

When that’s the way the deck is stacked, to expect McCain to be brave and buck his constituents in the Treason Media – and for that media to not distort and misrepresent what he says and does – is a hope that is much too high for even the hardiest rubber tree plant-moving ant to have.

It takes courage to throw off those shackles of truth. McCain has the strength of character to hurl lies at Obama the way Obama monkeys hurls them at everyone else.

Fixed it for ya.

And I don’t know how a math teacher can justify calling 4 or 5% margin between the candidates as Obama being “far more popular”. Hell, some polls show as little as 2% difference. Perhaps you were referring to how they are treated by the media.

The only thing Obamessiah want’s to drill is the same thing all Dimocraps want to drill.

What, Edwards’ mistress?

No thanks, she’s definitely a Monet.
