Are you kidding? Is this a joke?

David Turner of CA 1:49PM November 04, 2008

Gov for the people of MN Said:

A) "Joe the Plumber would do better under the Obama plan anyway."

B) "Obama has exactly the same views on coal as does McCain. Bankrupt coal, they both agree, its an outdated source of energy."

RE: A) Just because someone would do better under the Obama plan doesn't mean they have no integrity. Joe, like millions of Americans who don't YET make whatever amount Obama says today is 'rich' (but believe they can achieve the American Dream)also don't believe they have the right to the money earned by OTHERS success. RE: B) That's not what the spokesman for the coal industry has said -- he says there's a huge difference between Obama's 'we're going to bankrupt them' attitude and John McCain's plan of a gradual switch to cleaner technology, actually involving the coal companies in the conversion.

I'm a proud die hard Republican but even I know all of these pollsters can't be wrong. Practically everyone has Obama winning. As much as that dismays me I'm just a small fish in a huge pond. Even in my medium sized conservative town I see more Obama signs than McCains. When voting this morning I couldn't get over how many senior citizens sported Obama buttons and tags. I got to thinking did I miss something about this Obama character....I mean most of his comments to me sounded bitter about whites yet all these old and white spinters are voting for this guy. I love McCain's and Palin's enthusiasm considering how the media challenged them on everything but nothing towards Obama and Joke Biden and yes he is a joke. Obama will win in 4 years again because he's power hungry and a cheater and will take more foreign donations to win again. We all know there is only one way to stop him and I doubt that will happen either. We're doomed....Conservative White Christians are doomed...we'll be a thing of the past now.

Ohio for McCain/Palin

Yes, PUMA's will play a big part..plus Catholics who are 20% of the US population and normally split close to 50/50 will break considerably in McCains favor because of Obamas extreme pro-abortion stance and his opposition to the "Born Alive Act".

Pray long and hard all day today that enough Americans are not bamboozled by the Fraud Obama.

Why would the American people possibly give the Dems more seats in congress when the congress' approval rating is in the single digits since the Dems took over???????????? Can Americans be that friggin' stupid?????????????????

1. PUMA were nothing but a handful of Republican housewives who saw a chance in Hillary to stand up to their husbands. No concern there.

2."Clingers" Stop feeling all hurt and just admit that its a pretty true statement.

3.Joe the Plumber would do better under the Obama plan anyway. His whole argument was speculative at best. Add on to that his amazing "I'm going to go ahead and agree with you on that" quote about voting for Obama would be "voting for the death of Isreal", and it really shows you how much of a no-brain shill this guy has been for McCain the entire time.

4.Spread the wealth, huh? So taking a tax cut that was given to the upper 3-5% of the country and giving it to the bottom 95-97% (of WORKING people) is spreading the wealth? Its a tax cut, just because it would be focused on a larger portion of the population doesn't make it socialist. By this logic all tax cuts are socialist...... grow up.

5.I love how you republicans totally dismiss the fact that Barack Obama has exactly the same views on coal as does McCain. Bankrupt coal, they both agree, its an outdated source of energy.

The democrats are banking on the fraud, corruption and the media propaganda to put them in power. The repubs just allow americans to express themselves
