As a matter of fact ... ( 2 months ago by the2006rookie)
As a matter of fact I don't trust McCain because he is a wolf in sheeps clothing, A lib in Rubublicans clothing. But I'll tell you that I don't trust Obama even more. You see I still have faith in the American people and I believe that they will wake up and see Obama for the Socialist S.O.B. he is and vote against him. And you will realize how right I am when you see that our Constitution has been Abolished.
Does anyone know if ... ( 2 months ago by bigjstokes)
Does anyone know if Veracifier has admitted to having a large bias towards democrats? (For the record, I'm an Obama supporter, I just want to know if there's supposed to be some kind of secret, because it seems obvious to me)

Your good old boy bush has done more to subvert your constitution than any other administration ever.

our presidents are SELECTED not ELECTED. It's all a wonderful little play to entertain the masses and maintain the illusion they have a choice.

Once the paperless ... ( 2 months ago by fywacia)
Once the paperless voting machines are used to throw the election we will have 4 more years of Bush in the form of Mccain. If Obama wins he will do as he's told in order to avoid being the next JFK.
If you really think ... ( 2 months ago by Gook14)
If you really think that the elections don't really count, I pity you. After all, it would be the other way around if they were fixed, as the media hates Bush. You think Kerry and Gore beat Bush? You really think that?

then obviously you know exactly who is going to win and who the exact people that are pulling the strings are. If so, then prove it. If not, then... you're just another conspiracy theorist.

Vote INDEPENDENT. Vote NADER. He is the ONLY candidate left that will:
1 Impeach Bush to hold him acountable 4 crimes 2 Against telecom immunity 3 Ending war in Iraq AND ONLY candidate that WILL END OCCUPATION IN IRAQ 4 Cutting unnessecary military spending unlike the 2 parties causing further debt 5 No threat of war against Iran 6 No wasting US taxpayers money on m
ilitary aid 2 foreign countries & factions that backfires on US national secuity
7 For single payer universal healthcare

Veracifier and Josh are great! I love their reporting, it is expert! I'd like to see them comment on the Barr/Root candidacy, and question --in depth-- how much they think Barr is likely to hurt McCain (and maybe Obama) in different states. Also curious about their position on Baldwin (CP) and other third party candidates, especially since Veracifier serves to inform voting trends as well as track them... :)
ummm... democrats ... ( 1 month ago by coreyrocks14)
ummm... democrats pay attention. how come liberals don't want the 2001&2003 tax cuts to stay??? john mccain atleast wants to benefit single families with the tax cuts. i looked at hillary and obama's views which stated... "no tax cuts!!" wow.... ok. and they didn't have a reason either. why are people still democrat??? you know obama is only popular with mostly african-americans and some stupid whites. mitt romney, it sucks you did not make it!! oh well.
You are seriously ... ( 1 month ago by SerpentScribe7)
You are seriously blind if you believe those tax cuts have at ALL helped middle-class families! They were for the wealthiest 5-10%, and that's being charitable!! Obama's popularity is Obama's popularity, it's only your xenophobic media that lets you believe its just race. As progressive as I am, Im not supporting Obama in my heart because I know he won't actually change anything except a few symbolic measures. At least hes not McCain, who will plunge us even further into this very real recession
By the way, 0613, ... ( 1 month ago by SerpentScribe7)
By the way, 0613, voting Independent could be a good idea, but if the candidates are Lou Dobbs or especially Nader, you're just shooting yourself in the foot. Cynthia McKinney will do all that and much more effieciently without wrecking the liberal vote in swing states like Nader has most likely been paid off by republicans to do time and time again! She was the first black congresswoman in Georgia but was ousted by the DEMS for asking too many questions about 9/11...!
kerry didn't have a ... ( 1 month ago by greg2009)
kerry didn't have a 20 point lead over Bush. Poll mean nothing until late Aug to late October. Based on all the controversy, if Hillary would have overtaken Obama and clinched the nomination, I don't think she could be McCain. Black voters would stay home because blacks would have seen her campaign and her nomination as racist. Dems can't win a presidential election without large black or black turnout. Latinos would need to help her win.
yes kerry did lead ... ( 3 weeks ago by itsasin702)
yes kerry did lead bush by 20 points when he clinched the nomination. and at the time people thought the democrat would win because bush was still very unpopular. and u are saying hillary couldn't beat mccain? um news flash the black vote is prevelant in states that usually go red anyway. obama hada huge weakness with working class voters in the critical swing states. yeah hillary's not gonna win georgia or south carolina but chances are neither will obama.hillarywouldhave won ohio not obama tho
I know that the ... ( 3 weeks ago by greg2009)
I know that the black vote is prevalant in Southern red states because.I'm not silly! Hillary or any Democrat can't win swing states like OH, MI, Penn, MO, FLA, VA, with out a strong majority of the black vote. Hillary would have trouble because a majority of white don't vote Democrat and need some black votes to make up for that. Voters in the South vote along racial lines. Whites vote 75% for Rep/blacks vote 90% for the Dems.Democrats can't win in the South because of that.Polls mean nothing!!
You think the swing ... ( 3 weeks ago by itsasin702)
You think the swing voters are going to vote for obama? the reagan democrats? i have news for you they won't. and african americans would have supported hillary. angry ones would not vote mccain, if anything they would stay home. but hillary has the support of maya angelou and many other influential african americans. Hillary could get it. Obama is not going to get the white working class. not because he is black but because he is too far to the left
Yes Hillary could ... ( 3 weeks ago by greg2009)
Yes Hillary could get swing votes because she is a centrist. I'm not arguing that Obama can win swing votes. I was talking about Dems can't win the SWING states without black support. If the swing votes had a mix of new voters, young voters, and minorities then Obama could win those. People aren't as scared of the "ultra-liberal" label anymore.The Reagan Democrats are fading out because people are more suburban and not as fixated in small industrial towns where the Reagan Dems came.
This election is ... ( 3 weeks ago by greg2009)
This election is going to come down to who can win the suburbs. The suburbs is the new battleground, not Reagan Democrats in industrial small/medium towns. People in the suburb is a great place for Obama and McCain. The suburbs are more diverse, more focused on school choice, more for gun control, has many married couples with kids, and are more middle class. This place is neither mostly Democrat or mostly Republican. It is divided
