So everyone please stop saying Obama’s position on this is the sae as McCain’s — because it is very, very different, and way smarter.

Of course not. That was 2004. This is 2008. Catch up to the rest of the class.

The Democrats built a massive, 50-state registration drive that has yielded several million newly registered voters that are not — repeat, *not* captured by pollsters. The term “likely voters” excludes new registrants, therefore polls of “likely voters” (which most polls at this point are checking) do not include said new registrants.

Since Republicans like you are terrified of losing, your best bet is to simply discourage as many Democrats as possible from voting in the first place. That’s why you’re here.

“Or are you still hoping that the massive voter fraud the Democrats perpetrated in places like Wisconsin will carry the day for you this time?”

You have as much evidence of “massive voter fraud” on the part of the Democrats as I have that the new Palin child isn’t actually Sarah Palin’s spawn. IOW, you’re simply engaging in fabulism.

“Either way, the polls are indicating a narrow lead for McCain,”

By ignoring the several million new Democratic voters now on the rolls.

“and all of us who are brave enough to admit to ourselves know that McCain has a massive silent majority.”

Then you’d better get them out to the polls, shouldn’t you? It’s a shame that you have to act like a school kid on the basketball court, talking smack instead of bringing your “A” game.

Of course, if you actually had an “A” game to bring, you’d have actually nominated a candidate your party could get behind instead of saying ‘ah, well, none of these candidates are any good, so let’s let McCain have a turn.’ It wasn’t so long ago that your party was agonizing over whether Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Julie Annie or Ron Paul were even worth showing up for. Plus, you couldn’t even fill your convention venue, the President didn’t bother to show up and quite a few state and Federal congressmen and senators stayed away.

Well, when your choice is driving into Minneapolis over a collapsed bridge or flying into MSP and risking an accidental photo-op in the Larry Craig Memorial Tearoom, I suppose we can’t fault your ideological fellow travelers for punking out.

But don’t try to make that lackluster display into something “brave.” That’s bullshit, and we all know it.

“I know on campus it’s cool to wear your Obama shirt, but just because people aren’t wearing McCain shirts doesn’t mean they won’t vote for them.”

I wouldn’t know about what’s going on over “on campus;” I’m far too old for that. And as far as your fabulist construct goes, you appear to be saying that popularity doesn’t determine who’s going to win. In that case, I’m very interested in why the polls are always the first thing you cite. Either popularity matters, or it does not. You’re quite clearly trying to have it both ways, and that’s just another sign of your desperation, troll.

“You are going to be very, very surprised at the vote totals on Nov 4.”

Yes, I am. I’m going to surprised that any Democrat was ever worried about losing this election in the first place, given how high Obama’s vote totals will wind up being.

“There is a massive, massive anti-Obama groundswell amongst the American people right now.”

Which explains why Obama routinely beats the pants off McCain in terms of raw numbers of campaign contributors and total amount of contributions raised from individuals. But perhaps reality just has a liberal bias?

“Liberals are talking about narrowing polls, fundraising drying up, and a sense of momentum loss”

Evidence? Corroborating evidence of your claims?

No? Didn’t think so.

” – let me tell you, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.”

Says the ignorant, anonymous internet troll who is known to make things up. Remind me why anyone should believe anything you say?

“You’ll see.”

Yes, you will.

Yes. You wouldn’t believe how many students at the all-women’s college I attend have posters of McCain secretly tacked inside their rooms, where they can giggle and sigh at his dreamy cheekbones and chocolatey, taut skin, his tall-dark-and-handsome frame, his intense honest eyes– um, wait. Nevermind.

I know McCain isn’t as pretty or smart or talented or sane or decent or educated or competent as certain other politicians, but we liberal arts college girls love him ’cause he respects us! You can tell by how happy and successful his firs– um, *second* wife is. Or something. Heartland.

I can;t quite place the meme of lack of global knowledge here…come on, folks, help me out!

My feeling is, YOUR scared because you know in your heart of hearts that McCain doesn’t have a chance.

Barr asked, Paul hasn’t replied.

Is this a possible possibility, a probable possiblility, or wishful thinking? I haven’t heard any speculation about this, but then my ear isn’t really to the ground in libertarian circles. Please tell me there’s reliable talk that this might happen?

Oh please oh please oh please oh please . . .

You have to learn to distinguish between Jews (bad folks who have refused, refused!, to accept the Saviourshipness of Jesus, and Zionists or Israelis, our brave Kosher comrades-in-arms.
They are two different things! No repeat after me: Zionists and Israelis- good, hurray! Jews?- not so good, filthy shicksa marrying liberals. Some of them even consort with Negroes!

BTW, who wants to make book on how long it is till we hear the awful epithet “ni***r-lover” in the campaign? When you get right down to it, it’s the Repug’s most powerful weapon. They have to bring it out soon, now that “uppity” has been unleashed. “Ni***r” was trotted out a while ago, so bet on the under, not the over.

Nope. Not in the least. (laughing)

Did you even bother to educate yourself after what I asked you yesterday? Do you still not know what *likely* voters means?

Go check out how many new voters the Democrats have registered in the last twelve months. Then ask yourself what the polls are going to do when all those new Democratic voters show up at the polls in November. Your paid “attorneys” won’t be able to turn them all away.

“and this is with built in proObama bias in the polls.”

You can go on telling yourself that, but given your demonstrated ignorance of statistics, polls and sampling techniques, as well as your ignorance of what pollsters are biased in which direction, I think I’ll rely on my own counsel in this area. Suffice it to say that you simply don’t know what you’re talking about.

“Not panicking yet?”

Not a bit. But you are; that’s why you’re here. Saint Sarah has been unmasked as an ignorant cretin, and McCain’s sent her back to Alaska because the one stump speech she managed to memorize isn’t hitting with the crowds any longer. Your game’s falling apart, and I suspect that you know it.

I look forward to Saint Sarah’s next deer-caught-in-the-headlights appearance in the media. And I can’t wait to hear the next set of applause lines her handlers manage to get her to memorize. Tell me, did installing a new hard drive in her head cost the McCain campaign very much, or did Saint Sarah just claim it on her per diem expenses?

“Have a sweet day, liberals.”

It only gets sweeter each time you post here, O Desperate One. Please come back soon so I can school you some more.

Woot, the Winter War!

So who gets to be Finland?

I will say this. As much issues as that guy clearly has, at least BOFTTM is a heckuva lot more exciting than your usual droolings.

The bad trips are indeed terrible, but what’s so bad about cheap vodka? Ever tried cheap vodka on your Wheaties of a morning? The breakfast of Chumpions!

No, looks like you don’t know what the Bush Doctrine is. It has seven points, one of which is what Obama said in your little quote there.
