Pres debate insta-poll: Independents say McCain won

All of you have to lay off declaring a winner and loser for the debate. The debates are not about winning and losing. They are a chance to see what the candidates will be like if elected president. Both candidates had some good things to say. It is our job as Americans to decide for ourselves who we would rather have as commander-in-chief. And who really cares who won the bloody debate anyway?

The slant the media spins frustrates me immensely because I give people in this country the benefit of the doubt when it comes to basic intelligence. Granted, many people have hectic schedules that prevent them from keeping up with issues but the democrats are the party of big government and increased taxes. The Republicans are the party of our founding fathers who beleived in less government and fought to free themselves from the straight jacket of ever increasing taxes and more and more government control in their lives.

I have been fortunate enough to invest a considerable amount of time tracking the candidates and their campaigns for the last six months over all networks and some overseas reporting. Some of the seemingly innocent manipulations by a majority of the networks---referring to Osama Bin Laden now as Usama bin Laden to prevent the mental association with "Obama", the absence of coverage by the media of Obama's questionable associations with his pastor Jeremiah Wright, to name a few. Honestly people, Obama's only defense after confessing to attending the church for twenty years, selecting Wright to officiate his marriage,was to explain Wright as being "discriptive" not devisive and finally denying knowledge of Wright's passion for extremist behavior and beliefs. After twenty years, C-mon. Obama is an extremist that can't be trusted to tell the truth. He becomes what he needs to be for the moment in front of the crowd he needs to impress. He is untrustworthy.

Have you seen his middle name in the news lately? If you vote him in because you have not paid attention you will be guilty, you will have a hand in electing Barak Hussien Obama, someone who came from nowhere with no extended legacy of achievement in public service to the highest office in the land. The media is making sure you do.

Government intervention, constant monetary meddling, is why we are in the financial malaise we are. The bailout is the last thing we need and we almost had to swallow it with no guarantee it would solve the problem, just a guarantee we would be another trillion in debt and the people that got us there would be bailed out at our expense. Of all Frannie and Feddie's lobbied dollars the top two recipients were, you guessed it Chris Dodd and Obama. Dodd is the orchestrator of the bail-out. Being a normally intelligent human do you, the reader, see any opportunity for collusion at the highest level. Only you can do something about this. Do your civic duty and research what the media won't ever bring to your living room.

Vote Obama in if you want to see our dependence on foreign oil, which is the true culprit behid a majority of our country's problems, escalate to the point we are reduced a small player in the world economy. Remember, oil is still valued in US Dollars but won't be for much longer. We as a country are "dependent" like we have never been before. Mahmoud AMA-NUT-Job is speaking way more truth than you will ever imagine when he recently told the world at the UN that the US "...is at the end of it's rope".

McCain is our only hope, and we need all the hope and prayers you can muster at this critical juncture in our young country's existence.

Take a moment out of your busy schedule and dig a little deeper, beyond what the media brings into your living room. Many Americans are sheep being led to slaughter by gorging only on what the media feeds them.

Warren Buffet describes the calamity in our financial markets as "The Pearl Harbor of our economy". Irregardless, China will no longer lend to us since we are into them for over a trillion. Banks are falling left and right. You need to wake up, research, and make your vote count.

I could go on for hours listing facts and ideological differences between the two candidates showing exactly why Obama shouldn't be elected but I don't want to anesthetize you with more of what you are being bombarded with on every newscast. I want to simply motivate you to action to dig a little deeper on your own so that you can make an inofrmed decision transcending the media bias and hopefully preventing one of the greatest failures in our country's history--the election of a nobody from nowhere to the highest seat in the land in what still may be the greatest country on this earth. Your effort can make the difference.

In closing, I just want to call upon a quote from Barak's wife Michelle that might help ground you in your quest. Michelle claimed, in front of hundreds of cameras, that, at the selection of her husband as the nominee for the Democratic party's presidential candidate that".....for the very first time in her life she is proud of her country." Help me here. What planet is she from? Didn't she mean it? was it a slip of the tounge? I think it was truth slipping out past all the hate she hides inside.

Michelle wears the pants in the family. Barak has battled abandonemnt issues his entire life after being abandoned by his father and sent away by his mother. His Phsycological profile is not that of a self-confident leader but of a chameleon that changes his appearance to match his surroundings. He is somebody that has a difficult time disagreeing and trys hard to be what everybody want him to be. That is not what we need at the helm.

Please, Please, do your part so that when you vote you do it with a clean conscience that you truly know why you voted for the man you did and at leat know a little more about that mans track record. You owe it to your family, your parents and America.

God Bless you for reading this whole note and God Bless America......

95% of tax payers not the population. Dummy

McCain won by a landslide. I think some of the polls are done by calling districts that are traditionally democratic, which makes them entirely un-scientific. Network bias proves this to be very possible. If who "won" the debate is based on the most knowledgeable, competent person to lead the greatest nation on earth...The answer is clear: John McCain. Obama was jittery, rude with continuous interruptions, and near hostile at times. John McCain was clear, precise, substantive, and direct with his answers. One point he made very clear: He is the one who works with democrats and republicans - Obama does not, proved with his 97% "left" voting record. How do you trust a guy who says he will unite democrats and republicans but his record proves he doesn't do that? Obama is scary: It is proved he changes positions just to try to get elected. McCain is solid as a rock, and the ONLY candidate we can trust to lead this nation.

CBS and Media curves are Democratic slants, just as is NBC.

Fox says McCain wins 84% - 14. So believe what you will.

The bottom line was that Obama was supposed to win this debate in a landslide.

Either side could claim victory in certain areas. Neither side had a sound bite.

McCain hurt himself by not being as emotional as Obama and by not wearing his lapel fin.
Obama hurt himself by having to look at the name on his wristlet, by not being able to say, "I've been there" or "I've sat down with" (This is not name dropping, this is called experience).

Neither side clearly won, but because of Obama's alleged strength as a speaker, he hurt himself by not winning big.

Odd how this poll differs from every other "insta-poll" that I have viewed tonight, by a large degree. ALL others seem to clearly show an Obama win among independents.
