We can agree to disagree but my suspicion is that you are looking at him through a very partisan prism

How so?? I''ve been listening VERY carefully to Mr. McCain ALL WEEK long. He''s gone from the fundamental of the economy being strong to we need a Commission to study the crisis to SUDDENLY it being so critical as to cancel the debates? I''d say YOU are the partisan one my friend if YOU believe that!!

[skyk239]

your usual sarcasm. You said I never post ideas. I have. so you criticize me for posting this. Yes I think CBS does a poor job on this web site in monitoring it when people use foul language by masquerading it but block commonly used language and encourage the equivalent of drive by shootings It does nothing for our national discourse since most posts are attacks on other posters and only create enmity for each other.

I guess when i started posting here I had higher hopes I was wrong

I don''t know WHERE you live by in MY working class community the poster was about as AVERAGE in his statement as it gets. I really don''t think you folks UNDERSTAND the ANGER out here right now for the Rich, the Republican''s or THIS President.

The poll that suggests a 9 pt advantage to Obama has been proven to be unobjective and biased. When the facts were checked on this poll this is what was found. Blacks were polled in a 3/2 ratio to whites also the geographic area polled is a democratic leaning area. This poll does not show what is going on with the race. The other polls showing 47 to 44 a statistical dead heat is the fact that there is a margin of polling error of +/- 3 points. In effect we are still tied going into October. I think the debates should start shifting the poll numbers.

Attention Repig''''s : A video showed up tonight on Cable T.V. A Black Preacher from Kenya named Murthree or something like that, was laying on of hands or something and Saying some real crazy sh-t over Palin''''s head. I guess he chased a witch out of Kenya or some thing, It will be shown quite frequently in the near future. Man this is one crazy Hag. Get ready Repig''''s for a big nosedive, just do not Jump off of bridges just yet,

Wow! Yeah I saw that too! Wild! It makes the Rev Wright look tame that''s for sure.

nfortunataly, Robish2 is right. A 3% lead in a poll is not statistically significant. However, there is a lag time associated with public opinion polls and the latest ABC poll is probably closer to the truth.

McCain trying to call off a debate is a huge gamble. If it is viewed as a political stunt and Obamas crushes him when it is rescheduled, the party is over.

You are very accurate and THAT I believe is the reason for the actions of McCain. He''s caught with his statement on Monday though... the Foundation of the Economy is Strong. How do you go from THAT to opposing the buy out of AIG, to a Commission to STUDY the situation to things being so bad that the Debate must be called off. That''s a leap few can or will make I''m afraid.

[alanrobisch]

And, it does nothing to change the fact that McCain is playing a dirty trick to avoid a debate that he is ill-prepared to have. All of a sudden, right now, he needs to be in D.C.? I don''''t think so.

You may be right but why should a one shot poll be more accurate than an ongoing poll by Gallup. It is as current as yesterday

[skyk239]

You have to be completely MENTAL to continue to follow the policies of THIS Administration and McSAME! THAT should be obvious to anyone at this point. What should be just as obvious is that the Tired Old Man that the Republican''s Picked is up to his NECK in the REASON for the Melt Down we presently have! The De Regulation King has suddenly converted but in his 26 years he was the MAN behind ALL the regulations put in place to PREVENT this very thing from being removed.

[alanrobisch]

As Darth would say, "So"??....If you dislike the lack of YOUR idea of what should be allowed on CBS, might I suggest you either buy CBS and change the format, go elsewhere and post your ideas, or simply live with the reality of the situtation, which is you don''''t control the World and get over yourself.

I was with you until the distortion statement. both have used distortion in their ads.

Posted by alanrobisch2,

You are still with me. Both sides have distorted statements or made omissions. I respect your position with the election and I try to provide a non biased view.
