FWIW, Quotes from the AP Poll... |
|
Betsy Bodenhamer, a 33-year-old teacher’s aide and mother of two from Galesburg, Ill., says she has always voted for Democrats in recent presidential elections. This year, she’s leaning toward Bush.
“I think if Kerry gets elected, he’s going to pull everybody out of Iraq and they’ll have to fend for themselves,” she said. “Situations like 9/11 will happen again and again.” For 50-year-old Eileen Venuti, an independent voter from Lyons, N.Y., the Iraq war has become a defining issue.
“I’m disgusted with the war in Iraq, more so lately since they’ve been beheading these men,” she said.
Venuti said she saw the British hostage sobbing on a video taken by his captors “and it disturbed me so much I couldn’t sleep last night.” She said she’s leaning toward a “fresh start.”
For Rodney Simpson, a 35-year-old bus driver from Clinton, Md., voting for Kerry means trying to defeat Bush.
“Kerry is not that strong, but there’s nobody else for the black community to vote for,” said Simpson. “It seems like Kerry’s shooting out a bunch of slogans that don’t seem genuine.”
The first women and this last guy are extremely misinformed. I'm amazed by what some people are saying. She's worried about Iraqi's having to fend for themselves. What does she think is going on there now? The umemployement rate is over 60% and Iraqis are dying all over the place. I'm not for pulling out of Iraq, but that might be one of dumbest statements I've ever read on Iraq. And why would 9/11 happen all over again?
I wish these Democrats would wake up already.
The good news is that these people should be persuaded by the debates... If they watch.

"It's the media, stupid", well no shit.
Ignoring the media does not mean that everyone else is ignoring it.
This kind of stuff should scare us. There is no fucking reason that Bush should get support from retards like this women. This is reality. Coming to this site everyday and ignoring the media will not change the minds of those that do watch it.
Wake up people. We are in war!!
