. Because most Americans are lazy. I guarantee the majority of obama supporters out there have not even done half the research that you did just to make this question. Americans want change, that is why they hoard to obama. But change can be either bad or good. With Obama expect a bad change. Simple. If they actually had read most of those policies, they would see they truly aren't in agreement. His own page leaves out some very interesting policies. I oddly enough could find nothing on the Second Amendment. He opposes that big time. There can only be one reason in my mind that he wants to slow the production of our defenses and disarm Americans in the process. Simply because polls are flawed. Dems would have you believe that the election is over already, but that's not the case. I remember polls that showed Ronald Reagan behind, and he won by huge landslides in both elections. Your 'barackobamatest' is faulty.....you already know this, as you repeatedly post the same question over and over.
While you are smearing, OUR candidate is winning....face the facts, dear, more people agree with Obama. Actually, most Americans relate much better to Obama than to McCain. However, you can blame McCain's downfall on his disastrous pick of an unqualified fraud to be his VP. Where are you getting your information? Anyway, apparently most voters DO NOT disagree hence Obama's very clear and strong lead. This is a FALLACY. Obama is leading in EVERY poll. Clearly most voters don't disagree with him. "Compiled by www.BarackObamaTest.com" Who are they? Why should I believe their claim or that the numbers are correct? Sorry, I have seen too many bogus web sites set up for the purpose of smearing.
The polls are rigged, wait and see, they will change right before the election, so the Media won't lose creditability I am sure questions could be made that make Mccain disagreeable too. Besides what is that other source -- how do I know most the questions didn't come from other Nice list but the facts are either misleading or false. You must have taken it from a McCain web sight; all he does is lie and try to incite prejudice and fear. Thanks anyway
MOST AMERICANS DO NOT AGREE WITH Mc CAIN
Obama will be next President 100% Very interesting information. The fact that he is leading in the polls makes no sense to me. And yet, he is inexplicably winning. TLDR Your statistics are wrong, that's why. Then you woke up. He will win I think you need to put the cocaine away.
And...slowly...calmly... prepare yourself for your first black president! Not just most Americans, but also most Democrats. Nonetheless you are executing a positively fruitless exercise here
Here's how it breaks down. I'll use the 1st item on the list to illustrate why your "educational presentation" is pointless.
1/2 of them are pathologically fixed on Obama. They can see that Obama has pledged to tax fuel but they don't believe he really means it, don't think he'll really do it. Basically they call Obama a liar and see no conflict in supportng him.
1/3 of them . . . well, there is no kind way to put it. They're amazingly stupid. "61% of Americans oppose tax increases on fossil fuels. Obama supports them." might as well be Cantonese poetry. They don't understand it and there is no way you can explain it that they will ever understand.
1/6 of them approve taxing fuel.
This is not the proportion you will see on Y/A but it is all the categories you will see because it's all the categories there are.
Observe the retorts you get from Obamites. Without exception, all will fall into an "answer category" matching one of the groups above. Either "No, it's not true!" or "HUH?" or "I know & I approve."

DELETE - match
Keep watching. There will be more. As many more as there are Obamite posts. There will be no exceptions; there CAN be no exceptions. The polls are the children of the media. The media are the children of the political parties.
He who rules the presses rules the Fourth Estate (the first three being Presidency, Legislature and the Supreme Court). Get it?
They use poll spin-ology to fake people into believing that they should vote for one or the other BECAUSE others do.
The polls are all skewed and spun all over the place.
Obama has changed his position on drilling and actually supports it now. He has always been in the pocket of nuclear power companies and supported them. He has only made SOUNDS to the contrary.
Obama is not the workers' advocate he SOUNDS as if he is. Only by watching his ACTIONS would you know that he actually supports Big Business interests uber allus. But he makes NOISES to the contrary, and some people fall for noises. I think 80% of those polls were taken by idiots because most americans i know
A. Don't support ruining our eco system for a few drops of oil that wouldn't benefit us for 10 years
B. as my grandfather was murdered sesenselessly feel firearm manufacturers should be sued for criminal acts involving guns and know a LOT of people who agree
C. Most americans i know do believe in Basic human rights and just because you think someone might do something bad doesnt mean you can detain and torture them and not respect their privacy there are procedures
D. seeing as most politicians partake in things that if they were a normal person would be a felony i think all citizens should have ther right to vote and most everyone i know agrees with me
E. A girl should be able to have an abortion whenever, however, and for whatever reason she wants if you have a problem with that then you go through the labor, birth and take care of the baby for her
F. For the past 200 years there has been preferencial treatment based on age, race and sex usually for older white men so its about time they evened out the score
everything else i'm nuetral except the secret ballor which i am totally against but we can agree to disagree we dont have to believe every single thing he does i just know McCain he isnt war hungry, violent, prejudiced and biased Because more people agree with him on the issues that are important to them. They also have seen the failure of the Republican economic policy and do not feel that John McCain is the person to fix the economic problems our country faces. Furthermore, may of your statistics are incorrect. For example you state that Obama favors unlimited abortion on demand and that is just an outright lie. Excellent question.
The polls are unreliable. two words-Sarah Palin |
