Comments on: Poll: Obama/Biden Take Eight-Point Lead

Democratic Ticket Gets Boost After Convention, CBS News Poll Finds

[ragnar30066]

Isn''t it amazing how every election year the democrat party nominee is always way ahead until the results start coming in on election day.

Wishful thinking?

Nah. It''s like weathermen trying to manipulate the weather by predicting what they want it to be. And it just doesn''t work that way.

So her daughter is pregnant, it just shows that she''s just like the rest of the American families, hey she''s human, all she can do is teach her kids values, she can''t live there lives. And what does her having a child with down syndrome have to do with anything, God bless her for having the strength and courage to deal with it and keeping it. All this says her is that she is just like millions of other families out there, living there lives, trying to be an attribute to America, and trying to get by. Now Obama, hey where was his dad when he was growing up? Where is All his sisters and brothers that he hasn''t even met, and what about his brother over in Africa living on 15.00 a month in a tiny one room shack???? Next I hear they plan on attacking Sarahs religion, what about Obama being raised Muslim. And what kind of name is it for an American president, Barack Hussein Obama. I usually vote Democrate, not this year.

I don''t know what that''s supposed to mean.

Maybe that Palin was justified in getting him fired jusr because she didn''t like the course the divorce took? Is tyhat what you mean?

Meanwhile, some details are coming out:

At a news conference last month, Palin acknowledged that her administration had made more than 20 calls to the Department of Public Safety regarding Wooten.

Palin''s attorney also wrote that he understood that there was an "informal agreement to share information the parties obtain through their own inquiries." He requested copies of all witness statements, documentary evidence, a witness list and the "complaint or other charging document."

As for the copies of witness statements, French wrote that he had instructed Branchflower not to comply.

"I think you would agree that it would be highly unusual for an investigator to share information with one of the targets of the investigation. I am unaware of any precedent for such an arrangement."

And that''s choice just so long as you''re prepared to face the legal consequences, and the risk that your brother in law may decide to defend himself. Cowboy justice cuts both ways WellHell. LOL

Yep, the repeatedly banned nasty spammer. Oh well. :)

[kansas1946]

Biden is a drunkard, he will not be able to answer the phone at 3:00am. Obama needs to be truthful...Sarah Palin is GOVERNOR of Alaska (the largest US state) she is not Mayor....good try Obama, but you are constantly untruthful to the American people. I hope they wake up before its too late. John McCain is the ONLY qualified person for this job.

Liar. Your smear posts are dull and predictable. And the bottom line: Bush/Cheney DID invade Iraq and that''s not my opinion - it''s a fact. You call that pea between your ears a brain? Shows what you know.

Hey honeybunny, "taking out Saddam" and "occupying Iraq for seven years and exhausting our military and economic resources" are two quite different things. If you can get that through that little red bonnet of yours.

[eddynewhope]

I''d have fire him too for not taking this idiot off the streets!

How do you know what the trooper is about? You''re taking his ex-wife''s word who is embroiled in a bitter custody battle with him. People who are getting divorced say crazy stuff to make the other look like an unfit parent in order to win a custody battle. Beyond that, Palin is not exactly unbiased - it''s her sister after all. Because you''re governer does not mean that you can fire someone for not firing someone else who you don''t like. File charge if you want to, but don''t use your office to pressure his boss to fire him. Well you can but you''ll find yourself under investigation... OH yeah - she IS under investigation.

[rosieod4prez]

zerato - bad news ignorant Dem - the Senate runs those committees. And the Senate has the responsibility of overseeing the areas of concern for that committee. That is why they have on several occassions asked General Peteraus to report the them.

Is all this starting to get thru that little blue bonnet of yours ?

Biden stated in 2002 that Saddam Hussein was a threat to national security, and that there was no option but to eliminate that threat.[26] The Bush administration rejected an effort Biden undertook with Senator Richard Lugar to pass a resolution authorizing military action only after the exhaustion of diplomatic efforts.



So THERE''s a switch! The Dems wanted to take out SADDAM BEFORE BUSH AND HE ACTUALLY HAD TO RESTRAIN BIDEN.

Grow a brain liberal.

John McCain judgement and experience that only comes with age:

"There''s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

" I believe that the success will be fairly easy." [CNN, 9/24/02]

"We''re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. " [CNN, 9/29/02]

"But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

"But I believe that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." [NBC, 3/20/03]

"It''s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

"This is a mission accomplished.." [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

Want to repeat the last catastrophic eight years? Vote McSame!

Or it could be that McCain put a hockeymom with 5 kids one heart beat away from the Presidency. That is insane. Can you imagine Palin going toe to toe with Putin in a nuclear standoff? I would laugh if it wasn''t so scary.

[irliberal]

Here at home we have the KKK, the neocons, the confederates and people who actually think Rush Limbaugh presents facts and news.

I think those threats here at home are more serious. Terrorists abroad hijacked planes here and knocked down two buildings. We responded by invading Afghanistan AND Iraq - and now the Bush regime wants to invade Iran. Since we invaded Iraq - hundreds of thousands of civilians - dead. Over 4200 MORE of our American citizens - dead. A puppet government based on the KORAN (of all things) installed in Iraq. Billions upon billions of our tax dollars spent, our economy in the toilet partly because of those costs, partly because of the stranglehold the republicans have had on the leadership of this country for the past eight years. Neocon judges put in power, tax free political organizations (you call them churches) given more taxpayer money to pursue their political goals, global climate change ignored (thereby accelerated), and the USA turned into a laughingstock in front of the whole world.

How much more blood republicans? How much more blood before you''re satisfied? A million? Ten million? Doesn''t matter, they''re just arabs right? Pathetic.

Who did more damage? The terrorists of 9/11 or the neocons and the Bush administration?

The question is rhetorical. Of course.

McCain graduated from the US Naval Academy 894th in a class of 899. He wrecked five jets before they finally got rid of him. Obviously he is not the brightest bulb on the tree. He was shot down by an out-of-date Soviet missile by men with no experience in anti-aircraft warfare because he did not follow the rules of evasion taught in flight school. Lets just say the man has only one oar in the water.

He disses three out of every five people on the face of the earth by referring to all Asians as "*****.%u201D He said: "I hate ***** and always will." He may be viewed as a "hero," but I don%u2019t think being shot down qualifies him for the job of president. And I don%u2019t think he will do much for American - Asian relations should America screw up and elect this clown.

McCain''s flight instructor: "One of the worst students I ever had."

[irliberal]

Chronicling John McCain''s flip-flops, as of now, the grand total stands at 74 reversals.

I should note that there''s nothing offensive about a political figure changing his or her mind once in a while. Policy makers come to one conclusion, they gain more information, and then they reach a different conclusion. That is, to be sure, a good thing -- it reflects a politician with an open mind and a healthy intellectual curiosity. Better to have a leader who changes his or her mind based on new information than one who stubbornly sticks to outmoded policy positions, regardless of facts or circumstances. McCain says he''s "grown" and "refined" his positions. At first blush, this sounds completely reasonable.

So why do McCain''s flip-flops matter? Because all available evidence suggests his reversals aren''t sincere, they''re cynically calculated for political gain.

McCain has been in Congress for more than a quarter-century; he''s bound to shift now and then on various controversies. But therein lies the point -- McCain was consistent on most of these issues, right up until he started running for president, at which point he conveniently abandoned literally dozens of positions he used to hold, as part of a drive to pander and become palatable to the far-right Republican base.

Well I read the poll questions, and it is quite clear that the questions were put in such a way as to lead the pollee towards Obama. They even asked totally different questions with respect to each candidate; what kind of poll is that, if you choose positive questions about one candidate, and negative questions about the other candidate. There''s evena c omment about what Obama has to do to look better; and we are supposed to believe CBS news is unbiassed; what a crock. Only one poll matters, and that one will be held in November.

[eddynewhope]

Let''s see.... RowdyTexan, RowdyWicca, WellHell... OneTexTomale!
