Something smells wicked fishy about all these polls...
So we've heard lately that:
Kerry is doing better than Gore with Veterans
Kerry is doing better than Gore with Latinos
Kerry is doing better than Gore with Middle-Easterners
Kerry does better than bush with Blacks
Kerry does better than bush with gays
Kerry does better than bush with women
Kerry does better than bush with atheists
Kerry does better than bush with labor

Now, Gore beat bush in 2000 when it came down to % won

But Kerry and bush are TIED???

1. Trust the Imperial Amerikan polls as you would trust a 1978 Soviet poll
They are of equal veracity and reliability.

2. I'm with you

I just don't understand it.
In addition, the Democrats are all fired up. We know they stole the last election so now we are on fire to vote.
Yet the polls are still "this close."
Fishy

3. I think it's fishy too
But I figure it's better to think it's fishy bad for us; we need to not take this election for granted. It's the same with Kerry's speech tonight; the way the media has framed it, no one on God's earth can give a speech as good as Kerry's is supposed to be. When he fails to reach the impossible, they'll say he failed. So we need to keep working to get the word out.

5. And Nader was a bigger factor in 2000

it all smells to high heaven.

Remember, their plan is to make it look close and then they
can steal it. They own the media... the media makes it look
like it's 50-50.
