Do not give up, McCain supporters! The pollsters and news media are so obviously cheerleading for Obama, and they want you to be depressed and stay home this Tuesday! Don't oblige them, go vote!

McCain continues to make awful and unpresidential mistakes. The biggest is picking Sarah Palin. This campaign may have been a bit closer if we picked a better person. The early voters have come out in the masses with 60% of Colorado who have already casted their vote. Of those early voters 70% favor Obama, not looking good for McCain.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody should let McCain and his Republican followers know that the Jasons and Freddie Kruegers don't get another chance to seek their revenge here in the swing state of Colorado.

For those of you who missed it, here's the audio of the prank phone call to Sarah Palin, where Sarah naively thinks she's talking to the president of France! It's awesome:

PonchoVia - if you really cared about this country, you would be watching the video testimony of thousands of Democrats (the smart ones) who describe how Obama stole the primaries, and how Acorn is really an umbrella for several "get out the vote" organizations that received over $800,000 from Obama to perpetrate voter fraud.

Obama is a liar, a hypocrit, untrustworthy, lacks judgement, what moral compass?, a racist, and a FRAUD.

I'm really getting sick of this election. McCain's attack dogs have acheived a new low. I just received an automated call from an organization called Let Freedom Ring. They are using a deceitful "presidential poll" automated phone call that is actually an underhanded attack on Obama. It is sad that McCain's allies have nothing positive to say about McCain but instead are disturbingly obsessed with negative and misleading attacks on Obama in order to inflame political division in this country. This is the worst that I have seen. I've had enough of this brand of politics. They've inspired me to give a donation to the Obama campaign this evening.

Shaggy...this is crazy, get this...because of the high voter turnout, they're saying that we're actually going to have 2 voting days instead of just one this year. Tuesday is for Democrats, you see, and then Wednesday is for Republicans.
Oh wait...no it's not. That was just a ploy that Republicans were using (saying Dems don't need to vote 'til Wednesday) because they see they have no fair shot at winning this election.
Their only option? Lie, deceive, mislead. How sad.

Make sure you go to vote for McCain!!
The polls are and pollsters are not telling the truth!!
Remember........These polls also lie and say that the majority of US citizens support some form of rewarding the illegal invaders----and we all know that this is NOT true!!!
A lot of Hillary supporters are now supporting McCain. A lot of elderly are going to stay home---Obama scares them!! Obama's main supporters are stupid, naive, clueless KIDS.
Also, did you hear the latest news about what Obama has said??? He will bankrupt all coal industries (due to green laws)----which means coal miners, and any other people in jobs connected to coal-----will be without jobs if Obama gets elected!!!!

Pennsylvania is tied when it comes to Obama versus McCain. Obama leads by 4 points-----but, throw in the Bradley effect----and the race is tied!!!
Obama is NOT doing as well as his campaign and the media wants you to think!!
Remember New Hampshire!!!
Also, as reported on Fox this morning..........
John Kerry was leading by 5 points in the national polls the day before the elections in 2004----and we all know how that story ended!!!

True, these polls and the way the media spin them have distorted reality. I, too, think the results will be closer than what these polls have been indicating. Unfortunately, we're likely still headed for a new president who isn't upfront about his past and a first lady who says she isn't proud to be an American. Nice.

Obama is this country's last hope.
Four more years of failed Republican economic policy will only complete the movement of the middle class to poverty status. I guess that's ok with McCain supporters.
Oh, and this would be our VP. You people scare me.

Palin actually thought she was talking to the President of France, but it was a comedian pretending. Have you heard her talking? Is this how you want our Country represented? This info is on TV and the net.

It's pretty depressing to think about all the money that gets blown on elections in this country. Think of all the good things it could have done!

I'm sorry, just trying to double check to make sure that you did not have a typo. Did you mean, "Obama is a Black Panter fan! Now I will never vote for him!" Or did you mean, "Obama is a Black man! Now I will never vote for him!"

Daddybit is a true Obamabot. The OBummer campaign has been chomping at the bit to bring up racial issues.."I don't look like the men on the dollar bill" blah, blah ,blah. You need to send him some more ideas if he is elected...he will need them when he is being criticized by all of his delirious,un-informed followers.
IF you work at all Daddybit you might want to hide your wallet and bust your arse to keep the job you have. A lot of companies will be going under or laying off!
You can't make a profit if you are being taxed to death!!
If you think this is scare tactics sit back and WATCH!!
The Obama campaign is already telling you people to LOWER your expectations of his performance as president!(CNN) Man-O-man that is the height of arrogance!! OBummer just insulted all of his starry-eyed followers. I wonder if behind closed doors he and Michelle(Cruella DeVille)brag to their anti-American friends how they are hoseing the American voter.
