Ed Morrissey is “cautiously optimistic”: I think John McCain will win a squeaker over Barack Obama, 273-265, by holding Florida [and] Nevada, and adding Pennsylvania as a trade for Virginia. I pretty much agree with his map. In a shocking……

Indeed I see the hypocrisy nearly every time I read a post by the left wingers:

Fight for the right to vote…
so you can stuff the ballot box.

Fight for economic justice…
so you can take from the people that earned the money and give to those that did not.

Fight for labor unions…
so they can bankrupt our businesses (see UAW for proof).

Fight for fair elections…
so you can take anonymous and illegal donations from non-Americans

Fight for civil liberties…
but not for “Joe the Plumber” or anybody else on the political right.

Fight to tax the rich…
Then keep lowering the number where you call people rich.

Fight to lower crime…
by taking away the right to bear arms from the law abiding citizens so only the criminals have guns.

Fight to save our environment…
by espousing junk science and extremist positions that damage every other aspect of our lives.

Yep, I see plenty of hypocrisy.

Anyway, I hope your predections are right Ed. I would be thrilled if VA were red, but as long as the socialist empty suit is humiliated and out of the oval office, that will be fine with me.

The very strong religious right, undercounted as in 2004, will come out in FULL FORCE.

Your map/prediction is very interesting, especially PA.

Let’s see if you are right tomorrow.

This isn’t only guardedly optimistic. It’s also delusional. Obama is leading by double digits in all the states Kerry won. That leaves him with 252 electoral votes. He’s also leading in 8 of the states that Bush won (in half of them at over 6%).

So a Man-on-Lithium wants to lecture on his knowledge of delusions.

Thanks for the unsophisticated repeat of the astroturfed polls.

Kerry lost several states where polls had him leading by comfortable margins.

If you think the poll numbers are proof, we will see the real data soon enough.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air predicts a win for the McCain/Palin ticket. Morrissey says it will be a squeaker. I think that all the declarations of an Obama landslide are wildly overstated.

……

I more or less agree with Ed’s map, although I’d throw in Virginia as a toss-up. Go McCain-Palin: 273 to 265…….

…

Buy guns. And ammo. In large quantities.

Borrow money if you have to.

Ah yes, when Democracy works and the guy you don’t want to win does win. Time to arm up and revolt.
But if your choice wins, you still arm up to fight off the civil unrest that can’t accept democracy in action.

Can you see the hypocrisy?

watch me fail tomorrow.

This thread looks worn out but I need to say this.

Barack Hussein Obama is NOT an African-American. He’s an Arab-American at best.

African-American refers only to the descendants of freed slaves. Clarence Thomas is an African-American.

Electing Obambi has no application to past American racial issues, and IMO is nothing more than the latest scam foisted on blacks in America.

Obambi has no common cause with descendants of freed American slaves. If he had any shame, he’d never impersonate one like he has.

watch me fail tomorrow.

HotAir’s Ed Morrisey has an optimistic election prediction:
McCain/Palin 273 electoral votes

Obama/Biden 265 electoral votesHe predicts both Ohio and Pennsylvania going for McCain, and I think……

You have no integrity. You owe me an apology.

fossten -

You are in full on panic mode. “Buy guns. And Ammo. In large quantities” all because a man was elected by a majority of the people in a fair democratic process?

Fair? Yeah, right. Ever heard of ACORN? And yes, Obama plans to take away the right to buy guns. So I’m buying now while there is still freedom left. Sorry you can’t tell the difference between prudence and panic.

So are you planning on inciting some type of violent act all because McCain loses? Otherwise why say this?

That’s just a stupid statement. Typical moonbat, assumes all gun owners want to do is start riots and kill people. Ever heard of rising costs due to increasing government regulation?

Is this the values that the people on this forum have?? No one has told you to be quiet – so the rest of you condone this type of thing? Are you storing up food waiting for “End Days” too?

Mmm…very good, you move from overgeneralization to straw man. You FAIL.

I bring this up because I am seeing more signs that when Obama wins tomorrow there will be violence from people who simply cannot believe a black man is going to be President. I see über-Red States like AL, ID, MS, TX, etc being hotbeds for riots and angry confrontation. I hope not, but I could see it happening.

Funny, I heard the exact opposite from James Carville. And what are you doing, trying to incite a riot?

Folks, it’s an election. That’s all. Happens every 4 years.

Uncle_Aina on November 3, 2008 at 9:45 PM

Then stay home and don’t vote for Obama.
