Why McCain Can't Win...

4 Comments

Too negative

Ryan,
So...you work for Obama now? Or have you always and you are pretending to be a Republican?!
Anyway, if you do, we will NOT stop working as hard as we can, believing that the polls, just like other"things" can be rigged. I am not worried until November 5th and the threat of our country being in the hands of a man who could not even get a job as an FBI agent unfortunately wins. UNTIL then, I will fight ON! And enlist ALL my friends to do the same, as they have!
Get it together Ryan, if you are indeed who you say you are. Keep fighting until the fight is OVER. And Ryan, it is NOT OVER!
I am calling, and going door to door and taking elderly ladies from church to vote! THERE you have it!

GO MCCAIN/PALIN!

The Real Vote

Marianne brings up a good point concerning polls and related political posturing by left extremists and on-the-fence liberal closet cases. The polls this election have shown the greatest amount of suspicion than in any other election cycle in our history. The majority of polls are simply private manipulations of data to sway public confidence to one candidate or another. Unfortunately, most of the polls are devices managed via liberal media operatives, whether directly or indirectly, to bolster support for Barack Obama. The output of collected data in any given scenario can appear any way it wants to as intended through the careful and deliberate construction of the raw data. Surely, we as intelligent voters cannot stand by and accept that poll results are the gospel truth when a much deeper probe would indicate that the results are based on a sample that is way too small, containing a slanted selection of participants and thus creating a gross misrepresentation of the chorus of American opinion. There is much to be said about the newly released early voting data from Florida yesterday which plots McCain at the greater of three points ahead of Obama. These results smack in the face of the assumed accurate pollster majority because they are based on a vote-by-vote count and not by a chosen sample that excludes opposition. Besides, doesn't the actual vote that takes place on the designated day of days (or other early appointments) really reflect what is going on in a more trusted and accurate fashion? Oops...lest we forget about Democrat-inspired ACORN and other subversive clans designed to circumvent truth and the rule of law. You're right, Marianne! let's not be swayed by what seems to be the norm, but let's fight to uphold the core values of honesty and integrity by voting for John McCain.

Working the polls

We work the polls every year as challengers. Although I have to admit that it is easier hear. i live in a republican stronghold in NJ. Yes, it does exist. But go 20 miles north to the land of subsidized housing, medicaid, struggling schools, and illegal aliens, and it's a democratic eutopia.
Yesterday, I had a child ask who I was voting for...in order to avoid any seeming of inappropriateness, I just said thet you can say I am not a democrat. The child stood in awe and said "you are rich?". I then told this 10 year old politely that no, I am not. That her mom goes to work everyday and works very hard (it is a poor urban school)and that she provides for her child. I then explained that why should her mom work hard for their health insurance and home when while other people don't work and get the same benefits? i encourage all of my students to be the best person that they can be, and that alone takes hard work. Success is not handed to you, you have to work for it, and that is how you grow as a person and a country.
She thought twice about the candidates.

Holding out Hope for McCain

I live in TX and voted for McCain last week. He'll take TX by at least 10 percentage points with or without my vote.

If only I lived in FL or Ohio where my vote for McCain might have more impact.
