It's happening... Here's an example of "push-polling." It's similar to what the Bush campaign did to McCain in SC in 2000...

Jewish voters complain of anti-Obama poll

Jewish voters are complaining of a poll that, after confirming their religion, asks a series of questions that appear aimed at alarming Jewish voters, including linking Barack Obama to Palestinian terrorist groups.

I think we should institute immediate genetic testing of all persons in the United States who wish to run for office or vote.

Next they should pass an education test. No person who hasn't graduated from 12th grade should be allowed to vote. A written test to confirm a citizens ability to read and write and should be included to confirm the citizens fitness to vote.

Once each citizen has passed the educational testing portion of the voting qualification they should then submit to an economic viability test.

The voter should be a land owner, a tax payer and should be physically fit and able to, as well as being, gainfully employed.

No person who does not own real property,who has a family member who are not genetically approved, who has not completed an a fore mentioned level of education and income and has not passed any of the above tests should not be allowed to vote!

For those that don't see it...the above is sarcasm.

Barack Obama is a black man with a Muslim middle name and he’s smarter than you.

Get ready for the onslaught of coded racism and xenophobia that will make the “Swift-boating” of John Kerry look like an afternoon sail off Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s already happening. When Sean Hannity of Faux noise often spews, “Barack Hussein Obama,” he’s implying Obama is somehow a covert Muslim. Of course, let’s not forget their describing Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama," a term used to describe unwed mothers. I don’t think Faux used that one on Gov. Palin’s daughter…

Then there’s Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA) recently using “elitist-class” (smart) and the racially-loaded term “uppity” to describe Sen. Obama: “Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” When astonished reporters asked him to clarify his use of “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.” Behind closed doors, I’m sure he adds the noun.

The right has some history here. In the 1988 presidential election, I was leaning toward voting for George H.W. Bush until his campaign used the despicable “Willie Horton” ad against Michael Dukakis. I could not support a candidate that allowed racial smearing.

We have time for another example, right? In 2006, Republicans smeared Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford, a black man, with an ad featuring a white woman saying she had met Rep. Ford at a “Playboy party.” Get it? Black man – White woman – Playboy Party… Sex! Ford lost the tight Senate, um, race.

The wheels of the Repugnantan slime machine are cranking right now and I expect that around Halloween we’ll know the names of any white women Barack Obama has ever dated… One last “Mandingo” scare before the erect… uh, I mean election. Boo!

"I don't know if you've dared to listen to far-right talk radio lately, but I can assure you that they're not ignoring Senator Obama -- or his family. Put it this way: if you only got your news and opinions from talk radio, you'd probably believe that Senator Obama is some kind of foreign-born baby-killing Manchurian Candidate terrorist -- if not a sexist uppity black man who, if he loses in November, will incite race riots in every city.

Nothing is out of bounds. Devoid of shame and accountability. Inventing its own stories and spreading lies in soundbyte chunks easily passed along via listeners to non-listener friends and family.

Could it be -- I don't know, just a hunch -- that the opinions of perhaps a third of all Americans are shaped by FOX News Channel and far-right talk radio? Could it be that the lies and blind-patriotism of these far-right propagandists are painting an historic, brilliant, accomplished, patriotic presidential candidate as some kind of Bin Laden meets Farrakhan chimera? 24 hours a day? In every town in the Union? Distracting Americans from this economic crisis and skewing their priorities -- making pocketbook issues seem less important than bull**** lies. And political hacks still wonder why half of Americans vote against their financial interests every two years."

that explains a democratically controlled Congress that has approval ratings worse than Bush's.:wink: laugh

But they love to spout about Bush's rating and mask their own.

I am not buying what libtards are selling.


But I am looking forward to the three stooges and their comedy troupe called, Gory Kerry and Barry.


When will they start their 57 state tour?

I heard it was called, "We Bought a Bridge to Nowhere but Gnomes Won't Build it."

More Race Baiting at Faux

"Over at Fox news, punditator Neil Cavuto claimed the current crisis could be put on financial institutions "lending to minorities and other risky folks." While Neil is making this assertion there's B-roll of Barack Obama playing for no other reason than to make sure the Fox audience knows exactly what minorities and risky people look like."
