AP engaging in voter suppression

The AP released a wire story based on the same tired, skewed polling data they have used throughout the election cycle designed to demoralize conservatives and keep them from voting on Tuesday. The article by Alan Fram and Trevor Tomson titled AP poll shows Obama backers gleeful, McCain’s glum is just another attempt in their strategy to depress turnout on the right but why waste their time if this election is in the bag for Obama? The simple answer, it isn’t.

McCain was successful in uniting the republican party with his choice of Sarah Palin as VP and with his decision to include many conservative ideas in his platform. The same is not true of the Democratic party under Obama. Obama created a split in his party by choosing Biden and ignoring the desire of many in his party to have Hillary on the ticket. Obama never asked her. He never even considered her for the position and in doing so he split the party and many in the Hillary camp deffected and created the PUMAs. Hillary Democrats flocked to the McCain camp because in all honesty, John McCain is a very moderate Republican and more closely resembles the Democrat ideas of Hillary Clinton that Obama ever would. They also sympathize with Sarah Palin and her poor treatment by the Obama campaign and the media because they saw that same treatment of Hillary just a few months ago in the heated Democrat primary. The PUMAs have built a vast network of blogs and PACs that have turned up much of the information we have learned about Obama and his connections to Ayers, ACORN, and his past statements on redistribution and socialist ideals. They are experienced with combatting Obama’s Chicago politics from their time working for Hillary Clinton and have been an asset to the McCain campaign in many key swing states. Many estimates have this group of disaffected Democrats being as large as 20-30% of the party and many of them are solidly in the McCain camp and even working on the campaign like the guys( yes Rush they are guys) at HillBuzz.

The media knows this, though they would never report it because a McCain presidency shatters their hopes of self preservation. Under an Obama presidency they can expect to have the restoration of the Fairness Doctrine, which in their minds would beat back the new media enough to counteract the massive loss in circulation we see at every old media source in the nation. The editors at the New York, Times, LA Times, all of them know that their very careers are in jeopardy from new media sources and they see this election as their last home of preserving their jobs through retirement and that is why we continue to hear stories of this so called imminent landslide victory for Obama when the very polls they cite indicate nothing of the sort. They are desperate and they do not understand that conservative turnout will only increase as they attempt to thwart it because conservatives see Obama as the antipithis of the country they want to leave to their children and comments like the following will only serve to solidify conservative turnout this Tuesday.

WASHINGTON – That smiling guy walking down the street? Odds are he’s a Barack Obama backer. The grouchy looking one? Don’t ask, and don’t necessarily count on him to vote next week, either.

Supporters of John McCain, long less enthusiastic than Obama’s, have become increasingly glum about the presidential campaign in recent weeks, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Saturday. Their feelings have turned more negative during a period that has seen Obama, the Democratic senator from Illinois, take a firm lead in many polls.

Obama’s backers have retained a higher level of excitement. One expert says the contrasting moods could affect how likely the two candidates’ supporters are to vote on Election Day, possibly dampening McCain’s turnout while boosting Obama’s.

Boo Hoo, I guess I'll take my rain cloud and go home

The fact is that conservatives will vote on Tuesday, in numbers never before seen in a presidential election and conservatives along side millions of disaffected Democrats for Hillary will send Obama, his thug politics, and fawning media back to the gutters of Chicago where they belong.
