QUICK: Give me 5 good reasons not to panic!
Regardless of the accuracy of polls, we've got a plurality moving the wrong way. McCain is still a decrepit, angry, Bush-apologist ****wad, but way too many of those polled seem as if they'll vote for him anyway. Saddleback showed him as a fool and a knee-jerk asshole, but it gave him a bump. Obama went to Europe and put in a solid performance McCain could never equal, and McCain got a bump. McCain breaks wind in public and he gets a bump. Are you tellin' me that the ghost of Charlton Heston is really enough to change voters' minds?
ARE MY FELLOW AMERICANS ****IN' CRAZY?
Help. Cogent reasons why this isn't as scary as it appears to be.
It's a very large bonfire on Skins's island.

2. IMO, you have good reasons to panic.
When panicking I like to run around in a circle and scream like a little girl. It changes nothing of course, but I always feel better.

3. Go ahead and panic...
But just don't quit. When you're done panicking, there will be plenty of time to resume supporting our nominee.

6. Actually the race should not even be this close right now.
It's ridiculous.
Background: the cboy4 primitive is referring to that the race should not even be this close right now if the worthier Democrat candidate were the presumptive nominee.

8. Breaking news: Half of this country are Republicans
I hope you sat down before reading that.
And here we go; I've always been curious as to why the Obamaite primitives Hate the cboy4 primitive so much; he seems like a nice guy to franksolich.

10. Right, and what happened in 2006, when half the country was Republicans?
Who won that night in Virginia and Montana and Missouri?
I'm surprised you haven't thrown in the towel if you think the election is going to be close because the country is divided.
Because if that's true, my money is on the Republicans to swift boat their way to another "win."

12. Breaking news: Obama is ahead
You might be betting on the Republicans to win, but I'm not. Traitor.

21. That was one of my better posts.
And why should I change my tune?
It's accurate.
Mostly it's Obamaite primitives whistling past the graveyard.

QUICK: Give me 5 good reasons not to panic!
There are none. I suggest panic. In fact, let me push you along. This time 4 years ago, j fing kerry was AHEAD by 17 points! The fact McCain and hussein are neck and neck with McCain pulling ahead is a great reason to panic.
Regardless of the accuracy of polls, we've got a plurality moving the wrong way. McCain is still a decrepit, angry, Bush-apologist ****wad, but way too many of those polled seem as if they'll vote for him anyway. Saddleback showed him as a fool and a knee-jerk asshole, but it gave him a bump. Obama went to Europe and put in a solid performance McCain could never equal, and McCain got a bump. McCain breaks wind in public and he gets a bump. Are you tellin' me that the ghost of Charlton Heston is really enough to change voters' minds?
McCain kicked hussein's ass. Far from the "fool" you would somehow read, McCain showed he understood the questions and has HIS OWN ANSWERS, which, for the most part, match American Values. uh-bam-uh can NOT speak to anything off a prepared script -- without his handlers, he is thoughtless. He doesn't have any values or standards, so he can't answer questions off the cuff.
ARE MY FELLOW AMERICANS ****IN' CRAZY?
Let's look at it. A candidate with ~140 days' experience whose only qualifications are his skin color and his ability to read speeches and who has deep ties to and been influenced by anti-American terrorists and activists; versus a true War Hero who has over 30 years experience as a public servant who, although not a true Conservative, does have his own set of Values and doesn't believe in the willy-nilly killing of babies.
Yeah, Americans are ****in' crazy.
Help. Cogent reasons why this isn't as scary as it appears to be.

That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!
Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.
Ro-tate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss.....and when!
Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.
Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Remember the Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.
Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.
Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.
GIVE UP!
Reprise
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.

Hardly. I have voted for one democrat in my lifetime. That was Ann Richards the first go around. That election was between Satan and Satan's secretary. I went with the one who could take shorthand.

Good decision. I always voted for March Fong Eu because she was simply the best candidate for S/S at he time (and, to tell you the truth, since then).
And jfk says "how are the Braves doing?" (think John Carpenter's "Dark Star")

Obama went to Europe and put in a solid performance McCain could never equal
More Breaking News: Americans don't choose a president based on their "European performance". Obamapalooza was a media creation anyway.

This reasoning has bothered me since 06. Hey DUmmys............half of the country didn't vote in the midterm election.
You cannot extrapolate that because you won many election with a 51% margin that the country is 51% moonbat. WRONG!!!
The way I figure it, Moonbats make up 26% of the voting block with Republicans making up 24%. The other 50% is unknown at this point in time.

The change in control of Congress happened with a shift in less than 1% of the national electorate.
Just as the change in control of the Senate back in 1986; the Republicans lost the Senate by less than 50,000 votes, combined, nationally then. (There were some real cliff-hangers.)
Shit happens.
