Over-confidence on one side of the fence means smaller turnout, and it will be tight.
To all of you people who say no one watches Fox News, I do. I also watch BBC news and Sky News both out of England. And I have heard all sides on Fox and the others, and I know they report both sides as I have had to listen to it all. And I can agree on some but mostly not. Yes Im stationed here in Europe with my husband. I used to be a Democrat , now I am an Independant voting for McCain. And for all of you dogging Bush and saying everything is his fault didnt take Civics in school, or cant understand what is right in front of you. It's been the democrats running the show the last couple of years, and Im not really upset with them. Its the far left liberals that I'm mad upset with. And I believe with them still running the show, along side the most liberal senator in the bunch. They will destroy my country and everything good about it! Im living in a socialist country and I dont want to have to see my country like this. Please vote no for Obama and YES for McCain!!!
Most McCain voters do watch Fox News! Sad, sad, little people! Vote Smart! Vote Obama!!!
Fox's problem is not with its overt patriotism, but with its lack of that professed balance. News networks report the news; they don't promote the political points of view of their governments as news. There are clear and sensible barriers between the news reporting arms of most media organizations, print and television alike, and their editorial arms. But within Fox, that distinction hardly exists. And the close connections of Fox News with the Bush administration, from Fox News President Roger Ailes to its Republican anchors and media personalities like Shawn Hannity, Tony Snow, and Bill O'Reilly, makes the Fox the all-but-official voice of the government.
Fox's links to the Bush administration are unmistakable. Fox News President Roger Ailes was President George H. W. Bush's chief media consultant, the architect of his nasty Willie Horton campaign. Instead of choosing professional news journalists for his anchors, Ailes has chosen anchors like WSJ editorialist David Asman and conservative columnist and former Bush speechwriter Tony Snow, who is anchor of Fox News Sunday. A recent analysis of Fox News guests by the press watchdog Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) showed an 8 to 1 ratio between Republican and Democratic political guests on Fox News political shows. american-partisan.com
If you listen to Hannity you have to listen to Colmes too, right. And O'reilly has in my opinion been to nice to Mr. Obama. Check your ratings and actually watch Fox, then you can see for yourself its even. Can you say that for MSNBC, NBC, CBS, etc.
8 years Bush Cheney and 14 of the last 16 republicans controlled the house and senate. Get a clue over there in Britain. OBAMA 08
Cheryl- I can't believe I am responding to you but, you are highly brainwashed. MSNBC overall has been very fair and even, having equl time for both sides, with the exception of Olbermann. I don't just watch 1 station, I scroll them all. Fox is anything but fair and anything but unbiased! Don't insult my intelligence! Vote Smart! Vote Obama!
Bdorgle I dont live in Britain, its EUROPE (ever heard of satellite), maybe you should study up on your comprehension skills and like I said study up on some civics and government.
Christine, please I am the last person to be brainwashed, remember I was a Democrat just like you and the majority of the people on here. And I voted for a republican before I ever heard of Fox News. I was a single mom not really making enough to afford cable, so no Fox. But I can make up my own mind just as you have made up yours. Whether we agree or not that is our choice.
The last couple of years is able to erase the previous 6? Can I borrow your rose colored McCain glasses? Talk about drinking the koolaid!
For the first time, a major party has nominated a Socialist/Marxist candidate that advocates the distruction of the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution. A Barack Hussain Obama presidency will take away many of our rights and freedoms. Unlike past Democrat presidencies, we may not be able to recover from a B.O. presidency. America, you are on the verge of the greatest threat to the Constitution that has ever existed. Pray it dos not happen. Vote McCain-Palin and save America and yourself.
This will be the first time in my 47 years that I will be voting for a candidate and not voting against one. I not only like what Obama stands for, I like how he has conducted himself and his campaign. I believe he is very intelligent and will work very hard to pull our country out of the tailspin Bush has put it in.
McCain is not only an embarrassment to the Republican party, but his choice of Palin for VP clearly shows that the man isn't thinking straight. He completely underestimated the women of America, thinking we'd vote for a woman for the White House no matter what her policies, opinions or qualifications. I do not like McCain's attempt to gain votes through trickery. His tactics against Obama are shameful. He clearly exemplifies the very thing we need to change in Washington.
Tomorrow, I greatly look forward to casting my vote for Obama/Biden '08.
Well said and I totally agree with you! Obama/Biden 2008 - 2016! It is time for some real leadership! I am sick and tired of the scare tactics the Republicans have used. It is disgusting - I never realized until this election how dirty they were!
the american public doesn't stand a chance at winning.. socialism (obama) isnt something i'm willing to do and neither is paying more taxes(mccain).. we are screwed either way.. God help us all.. Depression number two, here we come.
Funny that all these articles touting 'inappropriate campaign tactics' point at the republican party but in my neck of the woods the McCain-Palin supporters are the ones being attacked, signs stolen from our yards (2nd Degree felony) and our children being attacked by the children of Obama supporters at school. My prayer is that when everyone steps into that booth to vote that they ,ake the right choice for the country - not for their race or economic sector, but for the entire country! Country First - McCain-Palin '08
Signed,
Another Joe the Plumber and his family!
bama is a snake oil salesman.........
god help our country if he wins
Joeny07 I totally agree!!!
i agree too. he's a lawyer. what do you think he is going to do? what all lawyers do and that is screw you. watch out america
Your fear and smears will not deter the will of the people. You can all run from the failed policies of your candidate, but you can't hide.
When Obama wins, will you rally around our Country and new leadership, or will you continue with the fears, smears, and hatred?
JoeNY: I would prefer a very SMART lawyer over this:
Well said , I take the smart one over Palin (she is a joke) and the old guy
Bush is the one that is all about oil! Get your facts straight.
I believe that McCain/Palin will be great for our country. They both salute our flagg. Obama will not..Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!! He makes me sick. McCain has a great knowledge of foreign policy, Obama doesn't. My vote McCain/Palin 08' We need them in the white-house..Not Obama/Biden
I am wary, but really hoping that McCain/Palin prevail. I can't even imagine what this country will be like with an Obama/Biden win. I work hard for my money, and I want to keep my money...as a young voter, I will in line tomorrow to support McCain/Palin!!!!
If enough illegals, dead people, felons, 18 - 24 year olds, and multiple cast one person votes make it to ballot, Obama will win.
Funny that all the ACORN problems have been related to registering "Democrats" who are not eligible to vote, or more voters than actually live in an area, or outright telling people to register and vote for Obama. Yet all fingers point to Republican fraud? I wonder where you people get your nightly news.
ACORN registers people TO vote. The Republicans attempt to prevent people FROM VOTING..Has anyone seen Mickey Mouse voting? Didn't think so..What a joke you Republicans are..Get a mind of your own, and think for yourself..
John Mcain was a part of the S & L fiasco and bail out in the 1980's. He and the usual suspects said they would fix the mess so it would not happen again. Surprise! Here it is twenty years later and it is still broken. No more Mcain.
I have never been so hopeful about a candidate before. I am joyful at the propect of casting my vote for Obama/Biden. I am grateful for what I hope will be a huge turnout of young and first time voters who have a vision for a new country that can only be positive after what we have endured these long 8 years with Bush.
This is such a turning point for our citizens. This comes from a former life-long registered Republican who absolutely supported Hilary. Despite my disappointment at her failed campaign, I have come to admire and respect Barack and am hopeful that I will be celebrating a Democratic victory with my partner and adult children tomorrow night!
I am sick about the scare tactics used by republicans in Albq, NM and VA. How can republicans claim to be christians when it is convenient, and be such horrible people under the surface. My catholic faith has used the pulpit to campaign for these unChristian people. I have heard that John McCain is not even babtized in any church. How can they be such cheating, lying, hippocrites. I am wary that the liars and intimidators will win, AGAIN.
I voted for obama because McCain is putting lipstick on his tax cuts. McCain has never voted for any legislation for the middle class or hourly workers. Tax cuts for business is a good idea however the same challenges remain. Henry Ford gave his workers a raise so they could by his cars and nobody has got to fundamentals of the economic crisis. The economic crisis is over cheap foreign products, low wages, low interest rates and incorrect american buying ethics. Cheap foreign products add to the trade deficit and lowers the standard of living in this country. Palin lacks the mental intellect to be anything at all. That pipeline she brags has been on the drawing boards since the 1990's. Palin is a fake and a liar at best. The United States is supposed to be the leader in the free world and the United States can't even have a clean election. The Democrats are part of the problem however the neo cons are the worst i have ever seen. The Republicans are whiners, liars and cheats worse than anything I have ever seen.
A McCain/Palin victory!!! An AMERICAN victory for AMERICAN citizens!! And McCain/Palin are doing so without $ contributions from non-Americans and MiddleEast sources!! Shame on you Democrates for selling out our Country!! Maybe, just maybe, GOD will forgive you!!! The same GOD this country was built on!
God would not vote for McCain! Jesus would not vote for McCain! You stand behind your bible and pretend to be a real American! You make me sick! My God would support the candidate who will look out for all Americans, not just those with power and money! Shame on you! Vote Smart! Vote Obama for real change! Not change filled with hate, fear and lies! Go Obama!
OBAMA /BIDEN 08
Keep religion out of politics. this is AMERICA!
McBush/Palin are not going to win and it says something when members of your own PARTY are voting for OBAMA/BIDEN
BDorgle: I fully agree with seperation of church and state, but I had to respond to DW. I am SO tired of being told that if I vote for Obama, I will have to be forgiven by God. Please! I say the teachings of Jesus have been forgotten by many voting for McCain.
Ha ha ha! "God" voting? Preposterous.
To forgive or not to forgive is a human characteristic. If "God" is all perfect and not human then "God" would never feel the need to forgive or not forgive anyone and to feel a need or to be moved to act is also the mark of something not perfect. Therefore "God" is not perfect and shouldn't be worshipped or doesn't exist. If "God" is not perfect then "God" cannot be a foundation for government. If "God" does not exist (which IT doesn't) then "God" cannot be a foundation for government.
Its a shame you have to involve God in this?? God will forgive us?! Who do you think you are for using his name so lightly!!!
U should really go and read your Bible if u think McCain is anything but a hypocrite. He is nothing to be proud of.
Obama/Biden will take this by 7 plus points or more. I just can't wait.
Listen, I believe that Mc Cain has been a free pass from the press because he was a P.O.W,I liked Mc Cain in 2000 when he was the maverick, but he sold his soul this time to be president. We need a new change from these greedy people in power now .Unless you are a millionare which the vast majority are not,have benn suffering under this regime. Bush/Cheney have been in bed with the Oil Companies, Hall Burton, Blackwater.They have put us in wars we should have never been in. They should have gotten Bin Ladin right away but they decided that would not be in THEIR best interest. At the exspense of the kids that died and their families!! They let the greedy crooks of wall street slice dice and rice the financial market and the BAILED EM OUT!!! No help for the people that lost their jobs. And we public should be held accountable as well. They let the Mortgage brokers, Real estate thugs sell them a bill of goods. I bought a house twice in my life once in 80 & 2003 Both times these crooks told me that I qualifed for houses that I clearly knew I couldn't afford and both times I had to insist that I couldn't afford and go out find a house I could afford. But I still had to pay these people anyway. America needs to get back on track and live within it's means. Gwt back to the basics. It may feel good for awhile but this country from the goverment to the man on the street has to get off the addiction of "Credit" "GET IT"
Alongwayback and Complexity4, I think you speak for American Now....... love you,
God bless America.
During an interview, why did Obama talk about his "Muslim" faith? He was then corrected by the interviewer. Then like "Oh right" my Christian faith. Did anyone hear Howard Stern's program where they sent people to Harlem? They switched McCain and Obama's viewpoints and asked several people if they agreed with Obama. One person said yes to the question: Do you think Obama made the right choice by picking Palin for his running mate? Another said he agreed with Obama about staying longer in Iraq. Another liked Obama's views on abortion and gun control. This behavior and stupidity only makes me feel very strongly that black voters (some exceptions-I'm sure) are voting for Obama because he's black. They don't care or know what his views are. That's as bad as not voting for him because he's black.
Obama will win this election.
You're in Easy Mode. If you prefer, you can use XHTML Mode instead. |
With the long lines that will be in the Urban areas, I am worried this will deny more Obama supporters the chance to vote than McCain.
