Comments on: Polls: Obama extending lead over McCain http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/06/12/polls-obama-extending-lead-over-mccain/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Bill in Rochester http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/06/12/polls-obama-extending-lead-over-mccain/#comment-1251047 Bill in Rochester Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:48:10 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7826#comment-1251047 I think there will continue to be an increase in support for Barack as people get to know him and his ideas better. Right now the "pseudo" Hillary are supporting McCain under disguise of being Hillary supporters. The true Hillary supporters are following in her foot steps and supporting Barack. People will, in time, be able to identify the propaganda from the facts and will find that Barack is the person he says he is. No conspiracy with the radical Muslim world, or Africa. A man of dark skin and big ears, who believes in family, religion, and country. I think there will continue to be an increase in support for Barack as people get to know him and his ideas better.

Yes, Kerry jumped 19 points, but he LOST the general election. It's more significant and important that he continues to slowly, but steadily improve in the polls, than to see a big increase (temporary) followed by a significant decrease. It's only June. I bet these Obama haters are gonna be sick in August or September he has a double digit lead over McCain. So don't be discouraged Obamabots. Things are going well.

"Ask low-income Americans if they would like to see a little relief," he said. Uh, that misses the point. Ask anyone if they would like a million dollars -- what are you going to do about it? The gas tax relief plan is not feasible unless Congress can find a way to control the prices the oil company sets, and no one has even suggested that is possible. If you remove the tax (which, by the way, is not even legal in every state), the oil companies can just keep the prices where they are and keep the 18.5 cents/gallon for themselves. I know most of you know this, but it is an example of McCain wandering off the reservation of "principle" to make populist points that will never be realized in policy. He knows better than this, but he hopes the American public doesn't.

I realize sometimes change is not necessarily for the better but I am willing to take that gamble in this case. Again the stakes are much to high.

What did/do Hillary and McCain have in common beside authorizing/funding the Iraq war...and being white? Hillary herself has stated she will put her full support behind Obama and noted that if you share her hopes for America (especially for the majority looking for decent wages, adequate health care and education, and reduced gas prices) Obama would work more effectively than McCain to achieve them.

The American public has continued to elect these idiots into office. This race is pretty clear cut and Obama is obviously the intelligent choice.

And by the way if you are one of the "if not Clinton then McCain" people, you are clearly a racist and not voting on the issues. You need to take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself am I voting the issues or do I have issues I need to work out. I can't wait until November.

Turn off CNN, ABC, CBS and Univision and go to the Obama web site. Read the detail on his positions regarding health care, energy, education and US infrastructure. Read a book or two. Find out for yourselves what the differences are between these candidates. This election is far to important to let the new networks make decisions for us.

I think once Americans reallize that McCain doesn't support affordable insurance for all Americans, and supports the same old Bush policies of helping the weathly over the interests of most Americans, his deficit will grow quite large and he will lose in a landslide in November. The only wild card is Americans' unspoken racism, which looms large. They tell pollsters one thing, but in the voting booth, their bigotry comes out. I read that in a poll of Kentucky voters, 20% said they would never vote for a black candidate. I guess we can at least give those voters credit for being honest in their bigotry.
