Blatant Reality

Now, I’m sure you have all heard that Joe Biden and Sarah Palin are going to be facing off in a VP debate on October 2nd. What you might not have heard about is that Biden sometimes has a hard time watching he says. In one situation he made an unarguably racial slur against Indians and in another he clumsily made a comment about Obama being ‘clean’.

Anyways, Biden doesn’t seem to have that very important filter most people have that determines how one should act or what one should say in public. Therefore, I have a very strong feeling something will come up in the VP debate with Palin so today’s question is who do you think Biden is going to insult in the VP debate? If you pick other, leave who you think it will be in the comment section.

Normally I just leave polls up for a couple weeks but this one has been up since the beginning of July. I figured that since it was one of those polls that don’t really get old, I could leave it up there to try to get a bigger sample size. Anyways, here are the results of the poll and it looks like people are pretty much in agreement that crop based ethanol is a bad idea:

How do you feel about crop based Ethanol?
Selection		Votes
A) I support it	8%	3
B) It’s a necessary step in the right direction	8%	3
C) It’s an environmentally bad idea	26%	10
D) It’s an economically bad idea	33%	13
E) It’s pointless; drill more oil	26%	10
39 votes total

Since I have been talking about ethanol for a while, I figured it might be a good idea to see what you think about it. If you want some background on some of the discussion here about the subject, you can view any of these posts found here, here, and here.

Well, I had two polls going. One asking who would win in an Obama/McCain matchup and the other asking who will win in a Clinton/McCain matchup. This wasn’t meant to be a “Who would you vote for” thing but rather an honest answer on who you think the country would pick if they were matched up against eachother. Even though everyone didn’t vote in both polls, the results are still fairly interesting.

Head to Head: Who would win?
Selection		Votes
Barack Obama	48%	24
John McCain	52%	26
50 votes total

Head to Head: Who would win?
Selection		Votes
Hillary Clinton	56%	20
John McCain	44%	16
36 votes total

Now you have to remember that this poll has been going on during the past couple of weeks. A lot has happened from Hillary pledging to stay in the race as long as it takes to her voicing her support for Obama yesterday.

In all honestly, this poll probably doesn’t mean anything because I kept it up too long. However, it is still interesting to see that according to this flawed poll, Hillary is more electable than Obama.

With the recent AP poll showing that Hillary could beat McCain in a Head to Head battle, I wanted to conduct my own little poll to see what my readers think. Given, this is a conservative blog so obviously everyone should vote for McCain (I’m not happy about this but the alternatives are much worse). Therefore, the question will be who do you think would win in November if they went up against eachother. Please vote in each match up.

Well the results of this poll were as expected. People (or at least the readers of this site) overwhelmingly feel that Obama’s cult-like following is a very scary thing.

I’m also glad to see that everyone knows what a cult is. Very good. Ya’ll sure know how to make me proud.

Does the almost cult-like fervor of Obama’s followers scare you?
Selection		Votes
Yes, it really does	65%	11
No, I think it’s kind of cute	12%	2
Huh? What’s a cult?	0%	0
No, Ron Paulians are much worse	24%	4

Tomorrow, I’m going to be heading off to Chicago for my Spring Break. Now why would I be going to a frozen city when I’m located in the wonderfully warm south? Well, my church is going there on a mission trip so I’ll be heading along with them. Since we are going to be driving all the way there (roughly a 17 hour trip in multiple 16 passenger vans), I probably won’t be able to blog at all tomorrow. Therefore, I’m going to be leaving you with a poll.

Since I’m going to be in Illinois, I only think it is fitting that I ask a question concerning Obama. Recently, I have begun to notice more and more Obama fans absolutely adore the man. No, you don’t understand, they REALLY adore him. Its like Obamamania is a new religion and his followers will follow him no matter what just because “he is a nice guy.” So my question is this…

About a week ago, I asked this question and the results I got surprised me quite a bit. So without further ado, here they are:

If you are a conservative, will you vote for McCain in November?
Selection		Votes
Yes, I will vote for him	18%	4
No, I will vote for the other candidate	45%	10
Maybe, he still has a lot to prove	23%	5
I will abstain from voting	14%	3
22 votes total

Now, in asking this question, I expected to get some people voting for other candidates but I didn’t expect this many. In fact, this really shocked me and kind of scared me. I really don’t like McCain that much but if he is the Republican party’s nomination, I am surely going to be voting for him. Since I consider myself a conservative, I really can’t vote for the other side and keep a clear conscious.

I’m really hoping that this poll is completely erroneous and people just forgot the whole “If you are a conservative part” otherwise the Republican party is going to have a tough time come November.

I’m taking the weekend off and going to be at the beach until Sunday night so everyone have a great weekend. Why would you care about this fact? Well your going to get a break from my posts. I know, its going to be hard for me too.

However, here is my parting gift to you, a poll. Be sure to leave comments explaining your choice. However, the comments won’t show up until Sunday because I have to approve them. To many spammers to have my comment section set up any other way. Anyways, enjoy.

Here is my latest poll about what you feel the biggest issue is in the 2008 election. I know the list isn’t all inclusive but these are the topics I feel that have been given the most attention in the debates and such.
