This is McCain's audience without Palin

STALIN- Palin...

I tell you after some of her most recently reported comments I consider her to be the closed politician America has ever produced to mimic Stalin's mindset of oiligarchic egotistical power.

I will begin using this epithet in every correspondence about her. If others feel it is appropriate I hope it is picked up. There may be a few independents at least who are intelligent enough to realize that this is not a compliment. 

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

Now I know what is wrong with the Republican Party.

Right now, the Republicans are being p#ssy-whipped by Palin.  Without Palin and her special powers, McCain would end up with something like the outcome he had in Jacksonville.

McCain in Jax

As a lifelong resident of Jacksonville, I can say I have never been more surprised than this!  It was only in the past 2 years that I started to notice fewer "W" bumper stickers.  These mostly Baptist and Pentecostal (they hate each other, by the way) idiots all around me worship at the altar of Bush.  Some of them even stood in line until 10:30pm to vote for his father, even after the election had been called for Clinton.

If that is the best turnout that could be mustered for the current incarnation, maybe that means we are learning something here.  

It gives me hope.

Polls disconnect

All the polls are supposed to have Obama and old man Mccain equal.  There seems to be some sort of problem either with how the physical counts differ between Obama talking to 84,000 people and old man Mccain talking to a couple hundred, and the polls showing old man Mccain equal with Obama.

I am getting the same feeling,

  I know a few McCaniacs here, but have yet to meet very many.  I know they exsist, but I just don't see that many.  

 But I have always been wondering, just who are these polling people talking too?  I have never been polled.  But than again, if I were to be chosen, I would lie to them anyway.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

Regarding polling,

because this exact discussion came up here the other day, some good points were made to me:

1. Who is willing to take a poll and who isn't? Frankly, RL is too damned busy for me to take more than enough time to thank the person calling politely and beg off! And as Happy points out, some folks (although IMO a small percentage) WOULD give false answers for the sake of messing with the results.

(and if I had the spare time, I'd probably wanna play in that poll, too! ;) Definitely appeals to my weird sense of humor...)

2. For the sake of "accuracy", are the pollsters supposed to have an equal number of Dems/Reps/Inds/Undecided? Okay- that right THERE will skew the results; look how many newly registered voters there are now or how many, like myself, have made the jump from "Ind" to actually declaring a party this year.

So who the heck knows?

But for alot of Johnny/Janie Lunchpails, the 6:30pm MSM channels and print local newspapers are the one little bit of info they subject themselves to, and the commercials do have power. They don't have either the time or the inclination to truly educate themselves about the issues or the candidates; that's why SO MUCH is going to be riding on the various debates.

I am SO looking forward to seing the head-to-head match-ups and glad to see PHB is gonna be doing the "Cover It Live" chats, same as during the DNC, for all of the scheduled events. (Election Night too, I imagine??)

Republican Patriotism

What does it say that in this picture the flag is draped horizontally across chairs?  Doesn't that violate the flag code?  Remember, these are the same people (along with clinton) who want to write a Constitutional Amendment to ban flag burning making it treason.
