Duane T asked in Politics & GovernmentElections · 1 decade ago

Well Republicans, does this seal the deal for you?

Now Rupert Murdoch, the President himself of the beloved 'right wing' FOX News, says that Obama is going to win in a landslide, and McCain doesn't stand for much.

Do you feel you have been betrayed? Will you now switch to the Dem side, since you believed in FOX so much?

    He is right. McCain doesn't stand for much, and it is probable that Obama will win. (Not sure if it will be a landslide but do think he will win).

    Simply because Murdoch does not support McCain does not mean that he is not a Republican, or a conservative. It means he does not like McCain (and I agree with him). Regardless, Murdoch can support whoever he wishes to support.

    I do not watch much Fox News because I am not much of a fan of Hannity or O'Reilly (both greatly irritate me), but I can't imagine most will stop watching them due to the comments of Rupert Murdoch.

    I like it more when the republicans are over confident and counting on mass insanity in the democratic party.

    Rupert Murdoch proves only that he is not totally insane.

    Obama managed a campaign and built a unparalleled grassroots organization that has broken just about every record in democratic primary history: votes received; voters registered; number of volunteers; and the total donations and number of donors. Obama overcame the biggest name in democratic politics who began with more money and the biggest donors, over 100 more superdelegates and most of the black vote to win the majority of pledged delegates.

    McCain has flip-flopped on virtually even major issue and supports the Bush policies that led us into this mess. McCain promised to run a respectful campaign and makes personal attacks against Obama in every speech. McCain offer the same lies Bush gave us for continuing the war in Iraq and expects Americans to believe him. McCain want to fix the mortgage crisis with the same policies and same people who created it. McCain borrowed every element of his policy on nuclear non-proliferation from Obama. The list goes on.

    America is ready for change we can believe in. America is ready to move beyond the politics of fear and division that created the mess we are in. America is ready for Obama.

    Obama is the best prepared to serve as president and will win by a landslide. It looks like Rupert Murdoch knows.

    God Bless America!

    Yes we can! Obama 2008!

    No, it doesn't. Murdoch is entitled to his opinion. And I don't feel betrayed, either. Why must I feel betrayed because someone of a similar political background as me sees things differently?

    Wait until the election is over and all the votes are counted before declaring anyone the winner. People hate others that seem to tell them to give up and not bother. This question borderlines that attitude.

    Actually what it does show is that the Fox News channel is not so one-sided as all the liberals, who never even bother to tune in, believe it to be. If you all ever actually watched it, you would see that they represent both sides of every issue very well. I hope this will make all the liberal haters realize that not everyone affiliated with FoxNews is conservative.

    He also supported John Kerry. We all know how that turned out.

    It just Proves that Fox News is FAIR and balanced. Liberals and Conservatives share equal footing there. Whereas on MSNBC and CNN, only Hardcore and mainstream Liberals are tolerated.

    Polls this early in the year are dreadfully inaccurate. Al Gore thought he would win too. Guess what, he didn't. I suppose that's just another inconvenient truth.

    He was in reference to how much Obama's open mouth can hold. Obama is going to sing oprea and hold a single note for a long time - he will do this from his home in the basement of the outhouse - open wide Obama, incoming! He will win by a landslide coming to him!

    We don't have cult heros like the trendy Dems.

    I could care less what Murdoch says.

    And I think you're more entranced with FOX than I could ever think about being.
