Obama: "Spread the wealth around..."

[JustSomeDude]

This poll would matter if the election was decided by national popular vote. The electoral map is currently showing a blowout, possibly by 200+ electoral votes.

Polls schmolls... http://www.zombietime.com/lefts_big_blunder/

The only poll that matters is the one on Nov. 4th. The current data showing a "blowout" is based on "extended" likely voter models. Basically... the polling groups are going out of there way to count on the youth vote like never before. They are actually having to make an effort to show Obama up 3-5, which is pretty sad. We saw the same trend with Gore's "rock the youth vote" 2000 campaign... and, yes, Bush may have lost the popular vote, but he still won. Traditional polls are showing McCain either up, or in a statistical tie. Throw in Bradley effect and racism (which unfortunately exist), and some still consider a McCain landslide a very real possibility.

Remember... the youth are about as reliable on election days as my ability to get an erection in a gay bar. Sure, it could happen, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

[JustSomeDude]

Some more to chew on from James Pethokoukis' article, "Did Barack 'Spread the Wealth' Obama Just Blow the Election?" (published today)

And after last night's debate, a few more Americans might think that way, too. McCain's best line: "Now, of all times in America, we need to cut people's taxes. We need to encourage business, create jobs, not spread the wealth around." And by the way, I just noticed that the IBD/TIPP poll, the most accurate in 2004, has McCain down by just 3 points. If the contest is perceived by the voters as a contest between a wealth redistributor and a wealth creator, then it could be a long night come Nov. 4. This is still a center-right country, gang. Note this Gallup poll from June:

When given a choice about how government should address the numerous economic difficulties facing today's consumer, Americans overwhelmingly—by 84% to 13%—prefer that the government focus on improving overall economic conditions and the jobs situation in the United States as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans.

There you go.

I do hope your right. It would be nice to have a hot chick as a vice president. Hey she is hot to us older guys.

[R1chie]

No way in hell.

Unless they do the standup thing and change the ticket.

Who would have though Bush would have got a second term, with everyone hating him and everything. The liberal media makes you think the everyone on the planet hates Bush, thus you must hate McCain. I guess we will have to see if liberal biased media is wrong again or right this time.... I mean left.. I mean... well I don't know what I mean.

I really liked how McCain smacked Obama with the "I'm not George Bush.. and if you wanted to run against George Bush than you should have run back in 2004" blast. Oh that's right, back in 2004 he was hanging around and working with Bill Ayers.

[schwagman]

I think Obama wants to spread our cheeks and distribute our wealth

[JustSomeDude]

I do hope your right. It would be nice to have a hot chick as a vice president. Hey she is hot to us older guys.

Of course I'm right. The primary goal right now is just to not fall for the hype of the liberal media. Read that article I linked to up at the top of the page titled "The Left's Big Blunder." It's basically a scientific/sociological analysis of how we, as people, will say one thing in a group that we disagree with personally. It's an instinctive reaction for acceptance and to avoid being outcast from the group. Unfortunately, we as republicans have suffered from this effect because we've allowed the angry/obnoxious left to control the dialogue for far too long. We simple sit by as they spew their hype - never offering a counter punch. The media, and the Obama campaign, is taking advantage of this, and trying to beat the right into submission by inflating polls and Obama's popularity, so we won't even consider voting on November 4th. It's the, "Look, Obama can't lose, you'd be an idiot to vote for the other guy! HAHA!" DO NOT fall for it!

The fact that this guy is barely at 50% in an anti-war, anti-Bush, pro-Democratic year has the left scared shitless. They are using guerilla warfare (and voter fraud through ACORN) to try and drag Obama across the finish line. Keep your head up, keep the faith, and DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE. They are desperate for a win, and using desperate measures to keep us at bay.

CHIN UP pardner!

"We got politicians running races on corporate cash

You may call me old-fashioned
but that don't fit my picture of a true democracy
and it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage
and If you don't like it, mister, they'll ship your job

I think the folk singer from Kansas got it right.
I wonder if Iris Dement hangs with Ron Paul.

Oh but WAIT! a minute Jethro. Don't be so selfish and all now. Why these here folks can't even hep them selves.



Why maybe we should just trickle up some of our earnins to them!


...seriously now people....


Explain how the trickle down theory (a.k.a. Voodoo Economics according to George H. W. Bush) is supposed to work when Congress, including McCain and Obama, just gave the people who are supposed to be "trickling" down on us OUR money just to stay afloat.

and voter fraud through ACORN

There is a big difference between voter fraud and voter registration fraud. Voter registration fraud is being perpetrated upon ACORN by the shitheads they've hired to register people.

Nobody is going to show up to vote with these fraudulent registrations. It makes no sense, it wouldn't work. The number of people that would have to participate to throw the election makes vote fraud unworkable in this day and age. Just another conservative bogeyman.

Voter suppression on the other hand, is very real. And for the most part, it's conservatives that are engaging in it.

If you have fraudulant registrations, they don't actually have to show up. You've already padded the eligible voter count and all you have to do is say they voted for Obama. Bam, stolen election...say in Ohio, by 200,000:

I have two questions.

1. What the hell is going on in Indiana
2. Why is Michigan voting Democrat. Well I'll answer my own question here. Because Detroit can't build a car worth selling on the open market --- that's why.

You do the math ..................

* Wisconsin -- 10 electoral votes --- Obama ahead by 17 points
* Virginia -- 13 electoral votes --- Obama a 10-point advantage
* Pennsylvania -- 21 electoral votes --- Obama up by 16 point
* Ohio -- 20 electoral votes --- Obama ahead by 5 points
* North Carolina -- 15 electoral votes --- Obama up by 2 points
* Nevada -- Five electoral votes --- Obama a 3-point lead
* New Mexico -- Five electoral votes --- Obama ahead by 8 points
* New Hampshire -- Four electoral votes --- Obama ahead by 6 points
* Missouri -- 11 electoral votes --- Obama ahead by 6 points
* Michigan -- 17 electoral votes --- Obama up by 16 points
* Indiana -- 11 electoral votes --- McCain leads by 7 points
* Florida -- 27 electoral votes --- Obama a 5-point edge
* Colorado -- Nine electoral votes --- Obama leads by 9 points

"Joe the plumber" is not even a licensed plumber in the state of Ohio.

Does he earn money in Ohio? If he does than I think that he has a right to complain about it being taken. He asked Obama a question that Obama didn't have his telepromter for and the left has decided to destroy him for it. I guess this is a sign of what we can expect from his presidency? You will tow the Obama line or be detroyed by the truth police.

Liberal media HYPE. Nov 4th we will ALL see what the outcome is.

I think its ironic that the left is berating him for not having a license. Does Barry have any experience in the Executive branch of the government? He sure talks like he does.

I do not know about contract work, but I work for an engineering firm and do NOT have a PE (Professional Engineering) license for myself. Nor do I need one, so long as one person in the firm (who must be a principle) has one.

Mr. Joe Plumber has made it clear he WORKS for a company that does plumbing work, and that he is INTERESTED in buying it. I'm sure should he continue on that course he would need to pursue a license or "registration" before transfer of ownership is complete. But is a "registration" required simply to do plumbing work for a registered outfit? If I walked into Roto-Rooter and filled out a job application, would I be turned down if I didn't show my professional plumber's registration?

If it's anything like engineering, I would think not. I know many laborers on job sites who have dick registrations for hammers and saws, but they are hired to do plenty of work on the homes and office buildings we all live and work in.

Honestly, what's the gripe here?
