Gallup Daily Tracking Poll: Obama 45%, McCain 44%
July 31st, 2008 . by glendeanA couple of days ago, about a minute after the Messiah returned from Europe, Willie titled a post “The Berlin Bounce…“. Well now that a few days have past and we are really able to see what effect Obama’s “I ought to be UN Secretary General” speech had on the campaign, we see that there was definitely a bounce, but the bounce was backward.
When I heard that speech on the radio, I knew it would backfire. Americans don’t like their presidential candidates going to Europe and giving globalist speeches in front of record crowds. Now obviously some Americans do. Some Americans, like William for example, would just about rather have Europeans choose America’s president, instead of Americans. After all, those Europeans are so much more sophisticated.
Most Americans also do not like having a presidential candidate shoved down their throat 24/7 by the television and print media. Nobody likes to be told who to vote for. Any novice media observer had to know that a backlash was coming. Perhaps the MSM was so drunk on Obama-Aid, that they allowed themselves to be blinded. Sometimes true love has that effect.
So here we are, and according to Gallup, McCain leads among likely voters 49%- 45%, and he is now virtually tied among those who are merely registered to vote.
Wake up folks. If your guy, who is still yet to crack 50, isn’t ahead now, you guys are screwed. This election is a referendum on Obama, and Obama is having a hard time finding 50% of the country to vote “yes”.

Glen, Glen, Glen.
You agreed with me just a day or two ago that the electoral math was all that mattered.
Why are you clowning around? Get serious — link to those two sites I mentioned before, again and again (and had to dodge the spamtrap, each time).

Maybe Europeans support Obama because there are plenty of Europeans that have actual first hand experience of tyranny, and they really, really don’t want another fascist superpower to threaten the world.
Guess what, patriotic Americans are not going to let it happen.
Bush and Cheney are going to stand trial. Americans are waking up and pushing back.
Some Americans don’t give a shit about how the world views us. They don’t like outsiders, people different from them, they would prefer to isolate America from the world instead of creating allies and partnerships. They also like to grasp at single red straw in a sea of blue… and remain in denial of what the real electoral college and oddsmakers are saying about the political atmosphere.
If McCain picks Lieberman, I’ll vote for Obama.
Yes, I will. Screw the Republican party if they go that route.
Because they won’t be the Republican party I knew.
If McCain picks Lieberman, I’ll vote for Obama.
Very, very unlikely. If Dems end up with 59 or less in the Senate, post 11/4, obviously, Joementum will still have his ticket punched and his jowly ass kissed.

Who are these people William? They certainly aren’t Republicans like me that support unlimited free trade and military engagements overseas. Perhaps you are talking about paleocons. Hell, I don’t know.
William, the difference between people like me and you concerning the rest of the world, is that I believe the United States should lead the world. I believe in the greatness of America. You don’t, and neither does Obama, as evidenced by that speech, in which he had to make it clear that he “loves the USA.” Who has to make that clear? Reagan didn’t.

That’s for the people who have four more neurons than you do, and really mean it when they say they’re “independent voters.”
Of course, 95% of them will vote for Bob Barr or Ron Paul, but… who’s counting?

Serr8d,
It doesn’t matter who McCain picks, they are definitely NOT the Republican party you knew.
Did you know there has never been a State that used secret prisons where torture takes place that did not eventually use them against their own people. Never.
Enemy combatant you say? But you want execute newspaper editors for treason? That doesn’t sound like any democracy I’m familiar with.
I know you’re not stupid. Wake up and help us save our Nation. We can argue about politics later.

I’be been asking Glen (not Rusty — he’s a lost cause) that same question for a long time, now. I think Glen’s smart enough to know when we, as a people, are in trouble, and need a big shake-up.

When we talk about comparing the Bush administration to the Third Reich some people automatically assume that it is based in some sort of tinfoil hat moonbattery, but if you examine the actual history it is as if they are just going off of the Nazi blueprint.
History is full of open, free societies systematically shut down. The founding fathers knew this was a grave risk. But modern Americans, having no first hand experience with actual tyranny, are clueless.
Interestingly, Glen predicted that a dictator would eventually step in. Ironically, he doesn’t seem to be able to understand that it is happening right now, before our very eyes.
A mere election is not going to change anything. The perpetrators must be brought to justice, or we can never be safe or free.
Bush and Cheney are going to stand trial.
I’m sorry, but there’s no fucking way this happens. None. Republicans are all in favor of “law and order” as it applies to others, but never to themselves. If anyone tries to hold them accountable in any meaningful way, they’ll bleat that the “other side” is merely “playing politics,” and the Democrats, in their eternal cowardice on such matters, will back down, as they always do.
I’d love to see a president — no matter what his party — actually do time for breaking the law (although I’d prefer to see a president who doesn’t fucking break the law, but that’s another matter), because this would actually demonstrate a commitment to accountability at even the highest levels of government. We should be holding our presidents to a higher standard, not looking the other way when they flout the law.
Well, with an attitude like that, it never happens.
It’s up to the people, not the politicians.
If that’s not true, then tyranny is already here.
The Obama bubble may be about to bust. Wall Street hates Barry. America loves Wall Street.
The Marxist dreck that Obama spews makes money people nervous. Americans don’t want to see their retirement accounts dry up and blow away.
The Revolution may be keelhauled by the simplest emotion, fear.
The question is simple, do you trust your retirement in the hands of Barry Obama?
Tgirsch,
Let it try to break it down for you,
Democracy is not about voting, elections, and government. It’s about ordinary people like you and me, communicating about stuff, while we still can.
Either torture is OK, or its not. There is no, “well maybe it’s OK, depending on the situation”, or crap like that that. Now, if you come down on the side that says torture is OK, you are basically giving permission to be tortured yourself. Torture has nothing to do with gathering information. It serves one purpose and one purpose only: to intimidate into submission.
Here’s the thing: if we as Americans do not stand up and demand justice, we are essentially saying that torture is OK. It doesn’t really matter who our rulers are at that point, we have given them permission to use torture to bring about submission.
That makes us willing slaves.
Do you understand? If not, you are no different than the authoritarians that helped us get in this mess to begin with.
