While the Democrats wait for a candidate …

… look who’s more popular. Mean John McCain:

Candidate	Favorability Rating	Unfavorability Rating
Hillary Clinton	53%	44%
Barack Obama	62%	33%
John McCain	67%	27%

So McCain’s favorability ratings are higher than either Democrat candidate and his unfavorability ratings are lower than either Democrat candidate.

McCain gets an extraordinarily high 52% favorable from Democrats and independents who lean Democratic, while Obama gets a 39% favorable rating from Republicans and Republican leaners. Clinton, on the other hand, receives only a 20% favorable rating from Republicans and Republican leaners.

McCain is also helped by the fact that he receives an 87% favorable rating from Republicans, higher than the 80% and 79% that Clinton and Obama, respectively, currently receive from Democrats.

Interesting results.

Are you sure you don’t have Obama and Mccain’s numbers swapped?? The media would have us think Obama is like a rock star or something. Tis interesting to see those numbers.

Another reason to dislike Obama, McCain is starting to look purdy to us vowed box skippers.

Wonder what the impact of the furor over Obama’s church and pastor tempest will be.

Comparing John McCain with two airheads who pimp racist anti-Semitic policies [ one being an afficionado of a raving lunatic America hating preacher], what other result could be expected?

What’s not to like about a guy who drove a Corvette and dated a stripper called “Marie, the Flame of Florida.” when he was in the Navy? The man is a bona fide American hero.

It’s way too early for poll numbers. There’s a lot of dirt that still needs to be slung. I do believe that McCain can be beat either Dimwit because HELLary has too much history and “BO” doesn’t have enough. And if it gets to economy, s the top issue, the Republican always seem to have favorable numbers. The “Tax and Waste” Dimwits have no plan, all they have is criticism. And they are still running against George W. Bush.

To paraphrase Ann Coulter, I see now that less than 50% of the country would rather disembowel themselves with a wooden spoon than vote for Hillary. That’s getting scary too.

There is a future for Hillary though with McCain. As Sec of Treas, a couple of cattle futures investments could completely wipe out the national debt and give us a surplus lasting into the next millenium.

Here is interesting piece about how Mr. Obama was evidently much less forgiving of the racist comment Imus made, than he was of the racist, anti-American comments his spiritual mentor made. http://www.breitbart.tv/html/64554.html

Notice in this piece he even mentions his daughters.(Who he also has going to that church listening to that hatred). I just CAN NOT SEE how any red blooded American of any race or color could stand to have there child listen to Imus or the Minister of hate Wright.

So far Mr. Obama has shown himself to be just like any other dishonest politician. He’s lied by saying last Friday that he never heard or knew of his spiritual mentor and close friend of 20 years racisms and hatred for America, its white population and Israel. We see he’s a hypocrite too…

BTW; any TRUE and REAL Bible believing Christian can not curse Israel or the Jews. God says in his word (the Bible), relating to Israel, The Call of Abram Genesis 12:1-3
1 The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”
God also deals very harshly with anyone who purposely misleads people especially a leader of the church.
Matt 18:6 “But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
