What poll is that Fred?
Washington Post, Obama is slipping again, lower 40's
Yeah, here we are 7 months from the election. Anything can happen. Don't fret over polls.

Just saying... you guys were all upset that miss Sandra was called a slut but I was and no one cares. This is not about JMC, I expect that from him but really where is the outrage. Double standards. What is the difference here?
I don't like the word slut and Rush was over the line but it is normal for radio talk shows. Tell me why you are not upset that I was called a slut.
Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke Controversy, Take Two: Sir Richard's Condoms' 'Sluts Unite' Campaign
A public service campaign that disses Rush Limbaugh and sells safe sex hopes to cause a sensation. Sir Richard's Condoms has conceived a "Sluts Unite" website and social media drive to promote healthy nookie while mocking Limbaugh's infamous "slut" insult of law student Sandra Fluke.
The campaign calls on supporters to choose from a menu of social media avatars such as "I Believe In Slut" and "Pro-Slut."
Sir Richard's (we love the knighted touch), a small business based in Boulder, Colo., also came up with an oath. It's not as easy to remember as the Pledge of Allegiance, but it'll do:
"* I believe that sex represents more than just the creation of children.
* I believe it is an enjoyable, healthy and a profound part of the human experience.
* I also believe that the responsible use of birth control is an essential component of a mature, civilized society;
* And if these beliefs make me a slut in some people’s eyes, then so be it."
Sir Richard's, which donates a condom for every one it sells, has become the latest company to embrace so-called "conscious consumerism".

Is pretty hard to compare the two situations. You and jmc tease each other here....this was not done on the national radio station I did ask JMC what point he was trying to make. He never answered. It all looked like a manufactured situation so it was treated as such.
But in a case like rising gas prices and unemployment, reality can matter less than perception. And the power of the press is limited, otherwise no Republican would ever become president. If the conventional wisdom is that Barack Obama is doing nothing about high gas prices, he will lose the votes of the moderates, especially the blue collar workers struggling to fill their tanks.

Would you support a business that supports the KKK, the Taliban or Al Qaeda? Would you support a business that says that the Afghans that killed US service people after the Quran burning were right for killing them? Would you support a business that says that school shooters are right for killing kids? Would you support a business that says that the Holocaust failed and all of the Jews should be exterminated? That women who are raped asked for it and probably enjoyed it? Would you support a business who supports NAMBLA?
Are those the voices that you want to be heard?
I was speaking to the divide between libs and cons not what you extrapolated.
I would prefer that we don't boycott advertisers that go on Stewart or Rush.
Supporting the KKK? is absurd and took things to a ridiculous level.
You are part of the problem. IMHO
And I do want every voice heard, even those i find repulsive. Do you have a problem hearing from people you disagree with? Closed minded and a big part of the problem.

That says to me you want NAMBLA heard. I do have a problem hearing from those people. Sounds like you are just fine with it. I am not close minded, I just think that everyone has the right to say what they want but everyone else has the right to not support them and organize against them.

If you mean to organize against them to shut down their speech, then you are treading on constitutional grounds, and opening yourself up for a big suit. ACLU works both ways.
