I hope this will help you make an informed decision on Election Day!

I'm sure if a poll for McSame was available I would disagree with him moreso.

Or, a poll so obviously slanted and full of cr*p as this one that it is silly

What is in there that Obama has not said? Or is your opinion that the poll is full of crap a "fact"?

What was on the quiz that isn't something Obama said or isn't something on his record? Perhaps it isn't the poll that is slanted.

SLANTED once, like when I was 18 and could finally vote. I voted straight along Republican lines...UNTIL I noticed they were going WAY to the RIGHT for my taste.

The older I became, the more UNSLANTED my views became. Seems every election I became less straight down the line on the party-front and more focused on WHO can do the job the best, not "Oh, so-and-so is a member of this party - I must obey and vote for this party".

I would estimate I vote 60% (Democrat)-40% (Republican) at this time on election day. Oklahoma Democrats are "moderate" (Which I consider myself, a moderate INDEPENDENT) and I relate to that - and most Republicans in Oklahoma are ALSO "moderate" - they usually receive my vote. If a politician in this state are on the far-left or far-right they DONT get my vote because generally they seem pre-occupied with showing the public their PERSONAL views INSTEAD of showing HOW they would EFFECTIVELY do the J-O-B!

Same here.

I do not think the poll is "slanted." It's not shoving anything down your throat other than seeing if you agree with Obama's beliefs on certain issues, important issues. I doubt anyone will agree 100% with any one candidate, but the issues that are very important to me, do not agree with Obama. Sorry, but "change" is not a enough of a good reason to vote his way. Besides, I'm self-employed and the thought of being taxed much higher in my bracket is devasting. I already have to buy my own health insurance, etc as a self employed person. That's a huge issue for me. Not to mention Obama is against the second amendment to the point of extreme.

The test results show all the resources in which the poll answers were compiled. Brad O' Leary takes lot's of heat, but there is no denying his accomplishments in the political arena.

I didn't see anything in the poll that wasn't from Obama's own mouth. If someone denies it, they've got theirs heads in the sand and haven't actually listened to what Obama says. The man is truly frightening in these specific times. I'm sorry, but I cannot survive on hope & change and in trying to support a young family, I can't afford his economic plans.

Amen, brother.

Here's an old, funny little story I pulled off the net. LOL:

I asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?'

She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'

'Wow...what a worthy goal,' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow grass, pull weeds, sweep my driveway, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.'

She thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me. Then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, 'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?'

I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Her folks still aren't talking to me.

Too funny!

When I was about 8, there was a homeless drive in the neighborhood and they asked for food and other such things. I had just seen a news report about how much recycling seeps in to the regular trash. I had suggested to the woman that the government hire the homeless to sort through the trash so that they could make money to solve both problems. I got the worst glare I can recall getting from just about anyone. But really, kids get it, why don't adults?!
