John McCain - Page 12

Polls show what they want to show. The media has a love for Obama, so they make it look as though he is in the lead. Word on the street though is that a black man is not ready to lead America and America is not ready for a black president. Not a racist comment, just the general talk I hear on the street, you know street talk. Now America has to hope that McCain invigorates the undecided voters. He already has the staunch Republicans. He needs to stop preaching to the converted and get out there and touch the deliberating voters.

LifeNews.com View: Pro-Life Voters Must Back McCain to Stop Abortion
by Steven Ertelt

For pro-life voters, the stakes in the presidential election next month couldn't be more clear. For 35 years, the pro-life community has been trying to overturn the infamous Roe v. Wade decision that allowed abortions throughout pregnancy for any reason. Restoring legal protection for unborn children state by state has always been a pro-life goal and a precursor to a human life amendment to restore protection for women and children nationally. As others pro-life leaders have articulated so well, the next president will have the ability to change the fate of abortion for decades. Although there are detractors who deny President Bush's pro-life record, his greatest achievement on the pro-life front is the appointment of two Supreme Court judges -- who have already reversed one Supreme Court precedent when it comes to abortion and will likely reverse another. We're now hopefully just one vote away from reversing Roe and giving states a chance to protect unborn children once again. The day is coming that abortion will be no more. We're right around the corner and that light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter. But, we could lose this battle in one fell swoop this November if we don't do our part to elect a pro-life president. If we don't unite behind Senator John McCain and prevent the election of Barack Obama, we could face 35 more years of legalized abortion.

McCain Racism, Hypocrisy on Khalidi Issue

This Is The Lowest McCain Has Sunk Yet.
By Juan Cole

McCain's and Palin's attacks on Khalidi are frankly racist. He is a distinguished scholar, and the only objectionable thing about him from a rightwing point of view is that he is a Palestinian.

I dunno about that. And it may just be me, but for some reason, staying in Iraq, well I just can't rap my head around that being productive. Trying to help another country stay together, while we are falling apart ourselves. Not a very smart move, but that is my opinion of course, maybe McCain's great charisma can change that.

As for Obama, he may not be the best idea, and he might be assassinated, but at least he might be able to get us out of Iraq, and if he is alive long enough, set up a new strategy for the situation. As I have said before on here, at least I believe I did. But, $720 million a day is a large number. But, maybe that's just me being unreasonable and I'm not getting the big picture here. So, I guess I'll just have to wait for McCain to enlighten me.

McCain will enlighten you if he wins.

On another front:

Are the polls wrong?

John McCain

I believe that polls are like experiments. You put this data into them expecting these results and you will get them. I do not put a lot of trust in the polls. I know there are polls out there that show Obama leading by as much as 15%, There are others that show the race being tied. I bet there are some polls out there that show McClain leading by at least 15% too.

You know what they say: "There are three types of lies: Lies, d*mned lies, and statistics." The pollsters know who they are calling, who is republican and who is democrat, and whether or not those people have voted in the past three elections (amazing the kind of info you can get from public records).

Do you not think they will slant the phone calls to the results they want, and then advertise it/report it in the so-called news to sway public opinion?

Believe me, if my small town politics can get absurdly out of hand, certainly the national politics will get even dirtier.

But ultimately, McCain or Obama, the decision doesn't rest with the people, it rests with the electoral college. It's only their decision that matters.

Well the polls are not entirely correct. The nation wide ones are accurate up to about a 5 point gap a believe. And usually when the polls get as high as 10 or 11 points, it really means something. But as far as polls are taken, they usually don't have the highest amount of people whom are questioned. Usually maybe 500, but I've seen about 3500 a while back. So, your judging an entire nations votes on these select few. But, with nation wide polls, they are usually the average of all polls put together. There usually aren't too many flaws with large leads, haven't really been wrong in a while. But, if I'm not mistaken, Obama has an 11 or 12 point lead over McCain? That probably means something, either it is right, or the media really has been being biased towards Obama.

But, there decision rests with what the majority of the people have decided in each state right?
