I don’t even believe Rasmussen. No liberal Northern Democrat has won the presidency since FDR. President Clinton (a “centrist” Southerner) needed Ross Perot running interference for him in ‘92 and ‘96. Watch Missouri, that’s where the story is...if Obama isn’t 10+ points ahead of McCain there, he’s toast!!

Why? There are simply too many ACORNs, Ayers, Khalidis, Pflegers, Wrights, et al. not to suggest a pattern unbecoming of a future President of the United States. “Obama’s past statements about his relationship with Ayers (and others) simply cannot be reconciled with the factual circumstances of their long association. McCain must focus on Ayers between 2001–2005. Then in the climate of national worry following 9/11, Ayers was on recent record as lamenting that he had not set off enough bombs, and yet until 2005 still in contact with Obama — about what and why, voters might wish to know.”

In 2006 in PA we were subjected to almost non-stop negative Dem commercials against two Republican incumbents (Senator Santorum, Congresswoman Melissa Hart). Both were smeared as being too close to Bush, and both lost.

When the Dems target your seat and hit you non-stop with negative campaigning, it works in PA. The sheeple vote them out.

Except for Jack Kennedy in 1960. Yes he was liberal for his day...prepared to surrender Taiwan's channel islands to a really barbarian Maoist Red China to avoid confrontation (Qemoy and Matsu). Made up the fraudulent "missile gap" (which disappeared a short time after his election). Thought he could just sit down with Khrushchev and make peace but instead had his head handed to him (Vienna). Instituted the "Peace" Corps, which had the effect of radicalizing hordes of idiot American youth by sending them to turd world sh*t-holes and making them feel oh so guilty about what the eeevil Americans had done to these noble savages. Legitimized the regime of Castro for the next forty plus years. Allowed the USSR to build the Berlin wall and didn't even bother to come back from sailing at Hyannis Port when it began.

Just for the record, and those who don't know...

Telling the truth about Obama's lying character, suspicious record, and shady associations isn't going "negative". It's "telling the truth"!

By the way, has anybody yet seen a genuine copy of Obama's birth certificate showing he is an natural born American citizen? As that is one of the few Constitutional requirements for being a President, it would seem a slam dunk to demand. The last I heard, the Obama Campaign was fighting tooth and nail in a Pennsylvania court to prevent just that from being produced for that very reason.

Is that being "negative" as well?

Obama's rising poll numbers are, IMHO, manufactured and represent push polls (for the most part when you look at sampling data) by the MSM to offest the growing concern about his associations and intent.

Obama and his cronies in ACORN, the DNC, and the MSM are wholly corrupt and desperate to steal the election if they cannot win it through intimidation and tomfoolery.

Obama has been directly tied and involved with ACORN, for a long time, and through his instrumentality we are seeing our free market and our voting process subverted and deconstructed before our very eyes.

But there is hope, despite what the push polls are saying, and Obama and his campaign and the MSM all know it, and fear it.






I'M VOTING FOR SARAH

I’m not worried. This is no time to go negative.

You may as well go to the doctor and have them remove that hook, line and sinker now.

For you have been flim-flammed by the Drive - by's........

I would very much like for McCain to campaign as VDH advises.

With occasional dips into the shadows of despair, I remain guardedly optimistic, for the most part. Every time I see a new poll, I’m discouraged, but every time I look at the internals of a poll, I think “that’s not so bad.”

Anyway, next week I will have a half-day available to manthe phones again.

Who is this, does anybody know? I searched the keyword on FR, came up nothing.

This would be Dr Khalidi Mansour, I think. This youtube vid is a good primer on the relationship:

Barack Obama & Khalid Al-Mansour
This link also has some interesting tidbits on the relationship: The Mansourian Candidate. Happy viewing...if that's the word for it. This guy Mansour makes Rev Wright look downright moderate.
