2004 US Presidential Election

A Fox News poll shows Bush and Kerry tied in the race for president at 44% each.

With Nader in the picture, it’s Bush 43%, Kerry 42%, and Nader 3%, giving credence to the “Nader is going to ruin the Democrats” theory.

A telling statistic from the poll:

By a margin of 43 to 36 percent voters think Bush will win in November.

More stats:

* A 65 percent majority approves of the Bush administration’s response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and by almost two-to-one Americans continue to support the U.S. having taken military action against Iraq.
  • [O]ver six in 10 think it is likely terrorists will try to influence the outcome of this year’s presidential election with a major attack on U.S. soil later this year.
  • As voters gear up for eight months of campaigning, more than twice as many say they are “dreading it” as say they are “looking forward to it.” That feeling of dread may in part be caused by the tone of the campaigning to date, which more Americans describe as “rude and disrespectful” (40 percent) than as “polite and respectful” (29 percent).

Count me in that “dreading it” category, because I’m certainly in the 40%.

We will see, but I think MSNBC and CBS’s NOTICIBLY SLANTED reporting on Richard Clarke will bite them and the Democrats in the rear. Americans are NOT SO STUPID that they cannot see that Clarke has stated 2 DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE views depending on whether or not he is paid for it with more book sales.

With that type of attitude, may God help America!

leaddog2,

Methods of emphasis should be used sparingly, otherwise you undercut the point of emphasis.

VoR,

Do you have stairs in your house? ;)

I don’t get it. How, exactly, has the Bush campaign been rude and disrespectful? Is citing your opponent’s record rude?

***shows Bush and Kerry tied in the race for president at 44% each.***

That is so far out of whack….if that poll is accurate……….there is no where else to place the blame but on the liberal media. Not everyone can do what we do. Some people only get a few minutes of news each day……and if they dial into bullsh-t like cnn or cbs, etc…..they’re fu-ked! Better get the word out on the streets my friends.

By the way, who were all those democrats on TV today, saying they were going to vote for Bush?

Anyone?……..Anyone?………Buehler?………Buehler?

Considering it was a “news poll, and we know those spead like wild fire amoung the freaky leftie sites, who then go rush in and try slant the poll, I figure bush has a lead up over around 10 points.

The democrats have destroyed themselves with this constant Bush bashing, and being caught in so many lies does not resonate well with the voter.
If he’s lying now while he’s trying to be ‘good” and get elected, think of what he’ll be like when he gains power.
Kerry is an arogant f*ck, and he shows it, his little ski trip did him more harm than good. It shows what a Uppity snob he really is.

JeffB maybe this is what your looking for?:

Zell Miller Rallies Democrats for Bush
Story here

Despite the affiliation with the Massachusetts senator, Miller who is retiring from the Senate this year, will make the case that Kerry’s policies are inconsistent with some of history’s most popular Democratic presidents.

Miller, a Georgian who is the lone Democratic senator publicly to back Bush’s re-election bid, made the attack against Kerry in a speech announcing his leadership of a national “Democrats for Bush” effort. He was joined by a handful of lesser-known Democrats. The Bush-Cheney campaign said it would release a more comprehensive list in the coming weeks, but on Wednesday released a list of 99 Democrats from 27 states and the District of Colombia as the group’s charter members.

that actually has some interesting developments within the democrat party itself. looks like a spit of ideals, with kerry falling off to the loony left side with angry Dean, and the ‘conservative’ democrats Staying to center, or even a tad right.

People who read blogs like this have decided on how to vote and are pretty certain. The vast majority of people don’t really care yet. A lot of people will say they want to get rid of the incumbent (whatever party), but don’t always vote that way 6 months from now.

Too bad they don’t including SNOWboreding in the Summer Games. Senator Kerry would be a Shoo-in. Wearin’ Flip-Flops and all…

Weird, Fox news being accused of being leftist… Amazing use of scale Fat Guy.

Thats because, the marxists all rush to these online polls and try swing them. They’ll do anything to make themselves feel like they are winning.
The election is 8 months away. There are going to be a whole lot of frazzled looking marxists around when this is over, mind you we will have to put up with months of Bush stole the election crap again.
