Prop it 139 Drop it

Partly thanks to an increasingly likable image, the Republican presidential candidate has pulled even with the two Democrats still brawling for their party's nomination, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo news poll released Thursday. Just five months ago â;; before either party had winnowed its field â;; the survey showed people preferred sending an unnamed Democrat over a Republican to the White House by 13 percentage points.

    You're getting worried, Engineer.
    Your candidates feet are getting muddy in the muck.

    And here I was beginning to believe no one would be dumb enough to support an war mongering piece of doggie do. Shows how really ignorant some people are.

    Sounds great to me. We need to finish instead of the Democrat white flag Harry leading the charge with either Democrat going along.

  LOL...I wouldn't panic just yet, engineer. I love this poll... Of freaking COURSE McCain would start looking better to terrified flip-flopping cons once he became the nominee. Their dreams of a Huckleberry, Randy Rudy or Moneybags Mitt Presidency all dashed to hell by the time the later polls were taken. They know they had *better* start sucking it up and "liking" him--cause it's take him or leave him. How could he NOT look good?
  Similarly, with only Hillary and Obama left to duke it out, of COURSE their spats will take center stage (CNN was already doing a 24/7 chronology of Hillary's cackle) and they will lose some points with the public. This ain't rocket science.

    Yes you are correct. The media is the only reason Obama and Hillary are losing points. It has nothing to do with their pettiness, ineptitude or bickering. Really. The public clings to the media's every word.

I hope the fools do elect McCain. Nothing like hitting bottom to slap ya upside the head and force you to open your eyes.

  It certainly happened to the DNC, so why shouldn't it be the same for us?

    "Hitting bottom would be electing someone like Obama who's chummy with a domestic terrorist."
    You mean domestic terrorists like Karl Rove and Scooter Libby who blew the cover of, endangered and destroyed the career of a CIA agent?

  I would hope that a 10 Trillion dollar national debt, a bitterly divided and destroyed country and a ruined economy would be bottom enough. ;-(

    One thing I've learned these seven years. Many Americans aren't as smart as I once gave them credit for.

  "Mason calls himself an independent and voted in 2004 for President Bush, whom he considers a strong leader but a disappointment due to the "no-win situation" in Iraq."
  --And voting for McCain will change that exactly how? Mason sounds VERY poorly educated.

    I wish neocons like Lieberman and Mason would stop misrepresenting themselves as independent.
    It's dishonest.

    The fact that he assumes being a prisoner of war qualifies someone as an expert in the political arena and on foreign affairs bespeaks the kind of rampant ignorance that is spreading like wildfire!

  ""You can't trust Hillary and Obama's too young," said Pauline Holsinger, 60, a janitorial worker in Pensacola, Fla., now backing McCain who preferred an unnamed Democrat last fall. "I like him better, he's more knowledgeable about the war" in Iraq."
  --Wow... Sounds as if they deliberately polled the most unbelievably stupid and ignorant people they could find. Holsinger was only an adolescent when JFK was elected at 43 (Obama is 46) but I can't believe someone who can't be earning much more than minimum wage (if that) wouldn't know or care that McLame fought tooth and nail to torpedo the minimum wage increase this past fall. OMG. What IS our children learning in school. ;-(

    Our soldiers are well paid and well trained in their specialties, however if they are wounded and have to leave the military, there should be tuition available to pursue an education.

    Why would McCain hate vets? He is a vet.
    But he does not advocate sufficient benefits for soldiers.
    He's rich; they aren't.
    He is saying now that if soldiers are offered college benefits, they will leave when their tours are up.
    He is right, they will; and that is their privilege.
    He is taking advantage of their poverty.

    It was his grandfather John "Slew McCain" who crashed 5 planes
    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/st...
    As a self-confessed military brat, he inevitably chose a navy career. There was no other option for the grandson of John 'Slew' McCain, a man who had commanded aircraft carriers in the Second World War. Slew McCain was so driven that when the navy passed a rule saying only aviators could command a carrier, the old man went to flight school while in his fifties. He crashed five planes before finally getting his wings, and then his carrier. In one Pacific battle, planes under Slew McCain's command sank 49 Japanese ships in a single day.

  Hopefully they will do some research because if they do, they will DEFINITELY change their minds about him!
  Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge can be a mofo!!
