Don't Believe the Polls
My dear friends don't believe the polls being put out by big business (Fox,Washington Post,CNN) that wants Bush to win. Remember 140 billion dollars of your tax dollars went to these guys and their friends.
They don't poll young voters, people with cell phones and minorities. You know how energized we all are to get Bush out and if you talk to the average Bush supporter they are not too enthusiastic to put it mildly. Also a lot of people who have to say they still support Bush because they are fearful of this administration (i.e., military) or just don't want to admit they are wrong and this miserable failure of a president has to go (i.e. your loving relative) are the reason why we have a secret ballot in this country. The polls show dead even with about 6 percent undecided. Now you know undecided voters usually go against the incumbent so I believe if we all get out the vote this election could be won by Kerry by 10 percentage points.

1. I never do and I also never get a feel of who will win.
One tends to hang around with people like them selfs.I do hear people saying Bush keeps us safe. All I can say is he has sure made a mess of this country and the rest of the world. If he is trying to kill off more American's than the terrorist he has a handle on it. 7000 men in hospitals and over 1000 deaths are a real good start. I will not talk about the people in Iraq.

2. Sorry, I do believe the polls
at least in aggregate. It's a close election. That's what the polls indicate. Either candidate could win. Bush probably does have a slight edge. He's the incumbent. If Kerry wins by 10 points, I'll be shocked. I just don't see a landslide on the horizon.

4. Very important post!
Thank you for reminding people NOT to listen to our enemies. They are skillfully using the media to discourage people from participating in the election. But they are liars, peddling a message of misinformation.

I'm reminded of in 1964, a national magazine ran a "poll" that indicated 84% of black people in the United States were "satisfied" with the rate of progress on Civil Rights. A reporter asked Malcolm X to comment on this. Malcolm said, "Sir, you can not find 84 black people in America who are satisfied with the rate of progress on Civil Rights."
