Utahns shift their support to McCain in a new poll

The Reality Check, of who and what Berry H. Obama represents must finally be coming to light and the Reality Check of people thinking that he is all this and all that is in the light of day is f ailing to Cash. There are many reason not to Vote for him. The cold fact that he is Flaming Pro Choice and in favor of Partial Birth Abortion is way more then enough for me. Add to it his issues with the 2nd Amendment that should put any LIFE and FREEDOM loving American on Red Alert. A disarmed population is soon an enslaved population. We screamed our lungs and keyboard out against Catsup Boy, and thank God, Al Gore didn�t get elected. However they Pale in comparison to this individual.

The poll includes Ralph Nader, taking votes from the Democrat, but not Bob Barr, the former Republican congressman from Georgia who has announced his candidacy for president as a Libertarian in the 2008 election.

Bad polling again.

What the United States needs is a leader in the White House, not some puppet CEO like Hillary, Obama, or McCain. This country needs new directions and leadership that will reinforce America and its heritage and its laws. We need a leader that can restore the soverignty of the United States and one that values the Constitution of the United States and the rights of the american people. None of the front runners meet the needs of the country, they only fit the needs of Corporate America. Corporate America has run this country in to the ground and made being an american a second class citizen and a third world country. The government of america is for its people, not CEO's and their constant badgering of our economy for the riches they so dearly crave. America riches lie in its citizens, not foreign nationals freely wandering the United States unencumbered and with welfare being freely given to these illegal aliens. In an economy of job losses and rising cost of living is cause to activly deport illegal foreign nationals, especially the mexican breed that flaunts our laws and rights as their own. Ron Paul is for America, not Mexico.

If you want McCain
You will see how out of touch Utah is with the rest of the Country
I can not believe Utahns do not know anything about Currant Events
Being a staunch Republican is just REDICIOULOUS
Kids in my area is not learning to work
They are playing Base Ball

They should shift their support by sending their children off to McCain and Bush's war.

The sky is blue

To Utah 5:44 a.m. How can we take your comments seriously when you can"t write 2 words back to back without making some kind of drastic mistake?

What a surprise, the majority of Utah's populace would vote Republican. Is this something new? This state is so out of touch with reality and does not value diversity or change. All a politician has to do is mouth support for the two or three hot topics Republicans hold dear and he's a shoe-in. Never mind our young men and women die every day and hundred of Iraqi's share the same fate. Go ahead and do what Utah does best...lag the Nation and keep your head buried in your own little world.

The idea of Obama is much more appealing than the reality.
America has had a fling with the idea, it was heady and intoxicating, very Summer of '68.
As the reality of Obama rears it's ugly head look for the rest of America follow Utah in McCain's direction.
It will takre awhile, and some folks won't ever catch on (hello Oregon, anybody home?) But America is more like Ky and WVa and Ohio and Penn that Portland, Or.
Two thirds of Hillary's Kentucky voters say they will vote for McCain or stay home in November. And those are Democratic Primary voters.
Utah is a trailblazer in this instance.

Hey "Utah" learn how to spell. Nice capitalization of the word "country"...and Currant??? Capitalized and misspelled. You're 2 for 2. And now for the trifecta..."REDICIOLOUS" Is that when something tastes good twice? It sure looks like your liberal education is paying off. And just because I'm a compassionate conservative I'm going to let
"can not" slide without comment and I'm not going to say anything about "kids in my area is not learning to work". But I will not let you get away with abusing the American pastime. It's baseball not Base Ball. Where do you want the kids in your neighborhood working comrade?

Utah votes not on real issues, but rather on Gays, Guns and God. Where were we to expect them to shift their allegiance to?

The majority of Utah voters support a Republican? Stop the presses! This is a real shocker!

The only people allowed to hijack the party are the people who have already hijacked the party. It's a tactic that has been successful in other states.


That is why we have journalists like this one on staff.

Hey this Utahn does not support McCain! No way! It would be like putting in another Bush - Sorry but been there twice and don't want a repeat performance of another like him!!

I will withhold my opinion until I see his running mate.

Senate President John Valentine, R-Orem, is a Romney delegate who said he'll gladly vote for McCain. "Why cast a vote for a candidate who is out of the election," Valentine said. "I think it would be viewed as a little bit odd."

--------------------

What is even odder, is a republican giving their vote to a liberal democrat like McCain. Too bad he had to cross Kennedy off of his short list for VP. Good thing he still has Fiengold and Lieberman as backup choices.

I will never give my vote to any of the 3 so called front runners. This system is so corrupt now. Makes me puke! And I won't send my sons to die for Bush or McCain. Let along Obama or Clinton. Enough. Ron Paul is the ONLY HOPE for America. People need to wake up and google "End Game". Watch and learn People!

would this be utah if the state didn't vote for a crappy president?

I'm not sure how accurate of a poll it is coming from the D-news / KSL. Not the unbiased sources I would turn to for a fair analysis. I would say the SL Trib is the only truly credible news source in this state, and even they're a little biased on some issues.

I agree with everything Bob G said except that I believe Obama is capable of governing the country. He is a leader and he is not a puppet. There were very few donations to his campaign that were larger than $200. Lots of folks like me donated $25 a few times, and even now his campaign treasure chest holds $37 million. He is not beholden to anyone. It will really come down to this. If you want the war in Iraq to continue indefinitely, vote for McCain. If you'd like to pull our troops out of that Civil War, then don't vote for McCain. In that event, Obama is the one to vote for.
