American09 - Joe the plumber was a mccain plant, remember he admitted he walked up to Obama. Anyway he is Charles Keatings ex son in law, the same Charles of Keating 5. See how scummy mccain is?

A suit and tie or an expensive dress highlighted by makeup, is not a cloak of honesty, it is a costume to hide behind! They can suit up and lie, cheat and steal all day and come home to children to whom they scold for doing the same. If that''s not true, then inform the people about your man O_Bama then you might be able to take a little pride in yourself for at least trying to be honest!!!

Sarah Palin, who is Sarah Palin? Who is Joe the plumber? No-one knew either of them until the liberal socialist propaganda machine drilled into our minds who they are! That would be fine, I want to know who she is, I don''t care so much about Joe the plumber (Yet) he''s just an American that asked a question that outed a liberal and an agenda! Why isn''t the news drilling us with that information? Why doesn''t every American know their names and their guilt? If O_Bama was a Republican, he would have been disqualified long ago, his name wouldn''t even be a foot note in the pages of history. But since he''s a socialist/liberal democrat his name is already in the school books that our children are forced to study!! You should be ashamed of yourselves you hypocrits!! The people deserve the truth, not your agenda pushing rhetoric! Every tvaholic I know that is not interested in the news, hate Sarah Palin and Joe the plumber! Clean up America, turn off the tv!!!!!!!!!!!

''Just five percent of the likely voters surveyed remain completely undecided.''

Who in their right minds wouldn''t know who to vote for by now? It''s scary that elections are often decided by these kinds of people.

How many extra secretaries, supervisers and workers are hired, just to keep up with the governmental pile of paperwork and regulatory demands? That cost is passed down to the price of the product or service that you consume, plus a tax to you, just to keep it fair! Those same people are doing the governments policing duty, yet they themselves are also being robbed of a persentage of the wages that they earn by simply using the movement of their body! Does the government own your body? If not how can they justify taxing the production of its movements? But that''s a whole different subject!!!

I enjoy seeing Bill Clinton standing behind the podium with O_Bamas (New World Flag) plastered on the front of it, he looked worried. I don''t think they have seen Americans this upset. Except, maybe when they tried to shove Universal Health Care down our throats the first time! All concerned citizens should vote and vote for freedom not socialism!

On Palin thinking she was talking to the French President...

The comedian identifies French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday as his special adviser to the U.S., singer Stef Carse as Canada%u2019s prime minister, and Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier. And Sarah Palin doesn''t have a clue.

Who ever said "Tax the poor"? None that I know of, they always say "Tax the wealthy" and the poor get taxed, plus loose dollar value because of the money being scooped of the top. Al Cappone (A well known Chicago thug) went door to door to collect protection money, those that didn''t give was punished or put out of business. Sound bites can be used as a weapon, just as surely as the more traditional ones. Al Cappones students/prodigies know the power of the word and use it well to force or have you agree to pay for protection! The mob is not gone it thrives in Politics, primarily Washington DC!!!! How come the Democrat congress and Senate are being so quiet, they trying to hide from Americas rath! Lets start Prosecuting the theives that attacked the financial institutions of America! Prosecute them, incarcerate them and seize their assets both foriegn and domestic!!!! Swiss and Island accounts could recover a lot of the money stolen from the American people!!!

I''ve caught rattlesnakes bare handed and swam with cottonmouths neither put the fear in me as O_Bama and a Dem controlled House and Senate. The fear is not so much for me as it is for the children who will never know the greatness of the gift of a Nation. The only Nation on earth owned by the people, it is on our watch that that ownership is being challenged. Lets not let the future generations down!!! Twelve hundred dollars to washington/state buys two hundred dollars worth of food stamps for the needy. You paid them one thousand dollars for their services! You have to feel good about yourself, otherwise you''d realize what an idiot you are!

No, it is more like a race between the turtle (McCain) and the jackass (Obama).

The turtle and the rabbit, McCain is the turtle with his ever steady pace. O_Bama is the rabbit, running to and fro! In the sory book we all know who won the race, it appears that might happen here also. I know in my conservative area of the United States the economy is still doing ok, how about your liberal area? Look around you, you might find the problem closer than you think!!

Has everyone heard the Palin Masked Avengers Prank call?

Palin thinks she is talking to the President of France and says America should be more like France! NO THANKS!

Palin actually believed the French President would make the following statements??? Yes, she did.

I just love killing those animals.
Taking life is so fun.
I can see Belgium from my house.

T0 D-CRAT LOSERS - Part III

The trackers don''t move in sync with each other -- one goes up, another goes down," he tells the Huffington Post. "This is what we are seeing today in fact. Already we see that Obama is down in Zogby but up in DailyKos and Rasmussen. No doubt we''ll see more of the same in the next three days. There is no evidence here of any real trend toward McCain in either the national polls or the state polling as smart analysts like Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com and Mark Blumenthal and Charles Franklin of Pollster.com have shown."

For what it''s worth, McCain lead pollster Bill McInturff sees things Zogby''s way. In a Friday conference call with reporters, McInturff said "I don''t see how you have party ID at negative 8 [percent for Republicans]. That''s not America ... anywhere in the last generation and a half."

Aside from determining the next president, Tuesday''s election might be used to settle a few scores in the polling profession, as well.

FYI-Why not use a REAL tracking poll for your information instead of some trumped up bs? realclearpolitics.com has ALL the information you''ll ever need!

To D-Crat Losers - Part II

On Saturday morning, Drudge trumpeted the latest one-day finding in John Zogby''s latest three-day tracking poll on the presidential race. While Zogby''s three-day average still shows a 5-point lead for Barack Obama over John McCain, the pollster notes on his site today that McCain led Obama by one point, 48 to 47, in the last day of surveys.

More cautious than Drudge, however, Zogby says that it''s too early to declare that McCain has made decisive gains over Obama. "If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama''s good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on," Zogby writes.

To D-crat Losers regarding Zogby
But as the Huffington Post reported on Thursday when discussing the latest Fox News poll, Zogby has a unique methodology in his polling. He fixes -- or "weights" -- the partisan balance of his respondents, unlike most pollsters. While his admirably transparent and stable practice guarantees a certain methodological sameness from day to day, therefore making any new lead for McCain worth reporting, Zogby''s partisan weighting can also raise other questions.

Asked earlier this week what the partisan weighting of their poll currently is, a Zogby aide told the Huffington Post: "Party ID remains at 38 Democratic - 36 Republican - 26 Independent. We have added a point for 18-29 [year old voters], 1.5 for African Americans, and 2 for Hispanics."

Earlier this year, Zogby told me that "party ID is a lead variable, and a major determinant in how people vote. I apply a weight to party ID, and if I see a reason for it to change, I will."

All an Obama victory is going to do is lead to a blood-drenched civil war.

I don''''t believe it! If what you Post is true then the idea of America is fake and only valid if a White is President. Real Americans are not that shallow, maybe fake Americans like you are.

Boy, you are really emotional, aren''t you?

I don''t even care who gets elected, because this bankrupt country is in its death throes.

Good riddance, I say.
