    Dream on democrats and liberal media. McCain will win this election because the people is not buying the CNN polls and the forcing of the "race issue". The liberal media is trying to make us believe that if you are not supporting Obama, then it must be because you are a racist. when in fact the only reason is that he is simply not prepared to handle the task and to be the leader of the free world. His whole campaign is just a huge dog and pony show.

    VOTE MCCAIN - USA!!!!

    the day by day polls are very confusing as to what is actually going on. I think it will have to come down to Election day to see. Certainly it's going to be tight no matter what. Florida is going to be a VERY interesting state, to see how that goes.

    Let's see on Palin.

    She doesn't believe in dinosaurs and she can see Russia from her window. The Russia part is her foreign policy experience. The dinosaurs relate to her beliefs? She tried to have a "state trooper" fired for having divorced her sister. The ethics panel found she "abused her office and violated state ethics laws." She says "I'm glad they cleared me."

    She has a really "excited voice" that kinda goes to a crescendo like something really fantastic is going to happen. She calls McCain, a 72 year old elitist and washington insider a maverick.

    Is that pretty accurate?

    You know the McCain of 2000 would've scoffed at Palin for VP...She's the Albatross the Far Right forced him to wear and now they will finally pay for all their abuse with a landslide humiliation this November.
    You heard it here first folks!

        Hey Propeller I wish you would have stated in your polling that over 40% of those polled were democrat and only about 30% polled were republican.

        Hmmmmmm. I am so sick and tired of this bogus polls. They tell us nothing.

        Remember Bush was behind in 2004 and won

        Reagan was behind in 1980 by 13% and won.

        These polls are so statistically insignificant they are embarassing.

        Palin has fallen? Hmmmmmmmmm I habitually see her getting 15,000 to 20,000 at her rallys #'s Biden could only dream of.

        Don't believe the hype. These polls are conducated by liberal colleges and liberal newspapers in highly populated democratic zipcodes.

        Palin knows more about running government than Hussein Obama will ever know. Liberal media is responsible for most negative information that small heads and uneducated voters seem to relish. Fools. Patriots of America, unite and fight those who would destroy this nation.

        Liberals, one thing my communist friends.

        Becareful what you wish for because you just might get it.

        = o)

        For the life of me I have no clue why so many liberals hate Palin. She has never done anything to hurt anyone on these polls. She is not part of the corrupt Washington Political machine and she doesnt socialize with liberal media.

        If anything, Obama, Biden, and the left media are being racist against her.

        For those of you who call Sarah dumb look at your Biden.

        1) Wanted to divide Iraq into 3 separate countries before the surge and got laughed at out of the room. Patraeus basically called him a moron.

        2) said you cant got into a 7/11 without speaking Indian now a days.

        3) said President FDR gave a tv speech about the stockmarket crash in 1929 to Katie Couric when in fact there FDR was only a governor and there were no tv's

        4) Said he got shot at while being in a helicopter in Afghanistan and the chopper had to make an emergency landing. As John Kerry said, bad weather caused to land early.

        5) Biden continues to say he was raised in Scranton when in fact he spent 99% of his childhood life in Delaware.

        6) Last debate Obama called out corporate credit card companies for having their HQ's in Delaware for the tax exemptions. Ummm that is where is Biden is from and he hasnt done anything to change it.

        7) Back in Feb 2008 during the Democratic Primary Biden only got 2% of the vote in Delaware. To me that tells me his own people cant stand him.

        I will take a Palin who is for lowering social security taxes, lowering income taxes, lower capital gains taxes, lowering dividends, lowering gas prices by drilling while increasing the taxes oil companies pay to redistribute their wealth to everyday folk vs a Biden who is so wrapped up in Washington it is scary any day of the week.

        What does Biden offer America? he has been in the Senate longer than McCain and is affiliated with over 100 lobbyist.

        IAF organizers like Obama were thus trained to target individuals for hate and denunciation, to exploit the organizational benefits of having enemies, and to pursue “justice” by creating conflict and confrontation. Personal targeting and scapegoating became a central organizing principle for IAF-trained community organizers, instigated by Alinsky’s lieutenant and successor Ed Chambers. Rooney makes clear that the IAF is brutally cynical about the constant need for fresh victims. Obama’s IAF thus made it official policy that political opponents were to be turned into personal enemies (or “ripe targets”).

        We are presently seeing this “politics of vilification” by members of the Left in their targeted hate against Sarah Palin, who is a personal victim of IAF-style programs that build animosity against their political opponents. This method that the IAF employs is profoundly wrong morally. Barack Obama, an IAF community organizer, has not spoken of a single fault with the IAF.

          “IAF leaders are brazenly explicit about their appetite for power.” (p. 222)
          “Once you have power, you can afford to be nice.” (p. 226)
          “To wean [churches] from fulfilling traditional expectations.” (p. 223)
          “To energize [a pastor the IAF wanted to recruit], the first thing they did at those meetings was to begin conspicuously with a prayer.” (p. 99)
          “You need diverse sources of funds, so that if [one church in an IAF-inspired coalition] want[s] to pull out our money, fine, we still have Episcopal money; if they want to pull out, then we’ve got Lutheran money. Plus, the fact that over three years we have put over $150,000 of our own money in the bank. So they can all take a big flying [expletive], I don’t care.” (p. 232)
          “There is no nice way to bring about change. All change comes through pressure and threats.” (p. 226)
          “Increase militancy by polarizing the situation, by identifying the enemy, and by developing the situation in terms of good guys and bad guys.” (p. 89)
          “It is absolutely essential to select a ripe target [a person] and build animosity toward him or her.” (p. 228)
          “A target has to be selected and mercilessly zeroed in on.” (p. 228)
          The person selected is to be “targeted as a stock villain, a lackey of the corrupt political establishment.” (p. 228)
          When a target has “become too shopworn to continue to light up anyone’s emotional switchboard,” it is necessary to choose new people to target “as action lightning rods.” (p. 228)
          “All IAF organizers take huge delight in planning the drama of confronting authorities. Perhaps it is their ecclesiastical backgrounds, with its loving attention to rituals and ceremonies, but clearly their enthusiasm for the details and rich symbolism of staged events is irrepressible.” (p. 85)
          [New York Mayor Koch:] “I had the feeling I was in some Nuremberg stadium. There was a military band. There were more than 1,000 people, chanting. They were thumping standards on the floor. It was like mass hysteria and very militant.” (p. 86) [Do we not see here a model for Obama’s Greek-columned, fireworks-enhanced stadium acceptance speech?]

          On the seventh anniversary of 9/11 last month, Barack Obama told an audience at Columbia University that his best education came not from Columbia (where he earned his bachelor’s degree) but afterwards, when he became a community organizer in Chicago. Obama intended no offense to his alma mater (and none was taken). But his remark raises the question just why he thinks the lessons of community organizing exceed the lessons of an Ivy League education.

          The “community organizer” training Obama received in the mid-1980s, and that he continues to praise today as central to how he will govern if elected president,

          what is really sad is how many people played into his philosophy to find victims and villify, what they have done to this woman and her family is immoral, thee is nothing about the attacks on her that are civil, it should be an embarrasment to this country for all those looking on who dream of living in a free society what this free society has lowered itself and become, you see the liberal attitudes in everything, the entertainment world pushed the limit and each time they got away with it they pushed it further, children have to be monitored in their own living room on what once were family channels, the music and entertainment world want to be over the top with the sensationalizing their every display, the vulgar pornographic and violent behavior has given children a very brazen view of the world so young, the media has lost ethics to editorials passing them off as front page news,you have to aske first who owns the news organization I am viewing, who wrote the article, and what is their motivation, so much reporting has the omission of the entire news story selecting and absolutely distorting the facts, to false reports, that have no basis in fact, our children hear our supposed leaders call the #1 leader of our country a terrorist a liar, a murderer, no respect, so they see disrespect at every level so seeming it's ok to confront authority over differences of opinion, no debate just hateful disagreements, what the heck has happened, now we have an election that has been anything but civil, and what the liberal media has done for a fair and free election is just an embarrasment, the liberal attitudes have turned having a difference in values into battlefield of hate talk, the conservatives and the moderates have to feel offended by such a display

          Be careful citizens of the USA, Obama is just around the corner from being a socialist. How many controversies does it take to make his supporters realize he's a fake. By the way did he ever produce his legal birth certificate?

          Careful, don't feed the trolls. suhfrr, scottinwny, pettefft, rrohrbackd and psimon2251 are about the 20th through the 25th posters I've seen that have no props, no submissions, no profile, no history at all on propeller. They come, they submit stupid slanders, intending just to make people angry, and then they disappear.

          Is there anything propeller can do about these fools (or this one fool for all I know)? I'll take aniokly or automan or sortofcute anyday compared to these mindless, unidentified individual(s) who appear, disappear and then possibly reappear under a different name the next day.

          I am a McCain supporter and I'm proud of that fact. If Sen. Obama is elected I wish him well. I just hope he shares Oprah's wealth with me! In fact he can share all of Hollywood's wealth with the entire state Louisiana. By the way the most corrupt Governor is not Governor Palin. It is Governor Edwin Edwards (D) of Louisiana. If I could fire my former brother-in-law I would do it in a minute. Maybe he's a loser! Conservatives out there, if McCain loses...remember President Obama will share the wealth with us, including his own...
          This is the worst blog for spelling errors! Get your dictionary out! If you don't have one "President Obama" promises to buy one for you, and you, and you, and you, and you!
