Excellent! The only two polling companies I trust are Rasmussen and Gallup. The rest vastly over-sample democRATs, from what I’ve seen (and has been proven).

I believe it’s Kirsten Powers. I have no idea why she showsup as a pundit on Fox news.


To smile and mouth her talking points.

She slipped a little yesterday and admitted on substance she sees what Ryan is talking about.

Obamacare cuts $700 billion from Medicare...

I had a DU account stashed, and then one day a thread emerged and I saw my opportunity to POUNCE! I mentioned the $500 billion (I think it was recently raised) at the time. I think my account lasted another 6, maybe upwards of 8 or 9 more seconds. I'm now a retired DU poster.

Tens of millions of voters probably are still totally in the dark as to the ramifications of the huge deficit this nation is now faced with.

Agreed. This is how 0bama ensures America STAYS weakened long after he leaves office. If he ever does. 0bama believes America is ‘too successful’ and needs to weaken us and “spread OUR wealth” OVERSEAS so the rest of the world can catch up. Giving Brazil $2 BILLION for oil drilling off their coast (0bama says NO to doing so HERE) is a perfect example of him giving OUR wealth to others while putting us into debt.

Number of people favoring him might even go higher after people get to know the guy.

Yeah, Kirsten. You’re right. Figures a lib would screw up the spelling of a fairly normal name.

Of course they would. They are truly afraid and I’m loving every minute of it.

Thanks for your reply to another Freeper who after 8 years of personal assassination of Bush, we still get that “why the media...” This is the most redundant question that is so easy to answer:

media = lib Dems who hate conservatives and Pubbies’

A binary choice is a hell of a lot different than some nebulous ‘likeability’ rating.
