Bush is the easiest candidate for President to defeat in our nation's history - and every recent poll still shows him with a comfortable lead over Kerry.
What is it we have to do to get it through people's skulls? Why won't the Kerry campaign act like they want to win this election?
Bush has the media pimping for him 24/7. If not for the media, he wouldn't be in the White House today.
I guess they for got the 250% more democratic voters in OH, and the 60% more democratic voters in FL. Oh well, to the polls!
Oh my God. I do not , I can't , I...I have no words. This is just unbelievable. These cowardly, unAmercian right wing thugs clearly f**king hate democracy. I just can't believe this.
Corporate media polls, like ABC are deliberately oversampling Republican voters to keep the Bush white house happy in return for access and favorable legislation. The non-corporate media polls, Like Zogby and Rassmussen, have Kerry within the margin of error.
The problem is the candidate--Kerry does not radiate strength anymore.
He did as a young man. But he's lost the fire somewhere along the line. Even his gestures are limp. In a time of national crisis, people want a candidate that manifests strength. Bush, who is a moron and a war criminal, nevertheless does the "strength" bit much better than Kerry. This is capturing the swing vote. I don't think there is a thing that Kerry can do about this. But maybe the debates will show what a moron Bush is, and this will begin to make people devalue the appearance of strength.
I'm Sorry, this cannot be laid on Kerry as a candidate. He's no Clinton, but most candidates aren't. If the FACTS can't win this election for him, it can't be won. If a majority of voters chose to ignore all evidence that Bush is willfully incompetent (to put it mildly) and vote for him, there's nothing a mortal opposing candidate can do.
This election is about torture, an unecessary war, prison camps in Cuba, a failed plan in Afghanistan, a humongo deficit, women's rights, and a total lack of regard for any citizen who isn't a rich company owner. And those are just the obvious issues that any voter who is conscious should be at least aware of. If those points can't trump "too dour," the Bush voters deserve what they get and the rest of us will just have to hope for the best. This isn't freakin' Star Search, and it shouldn't be judged as such. And if people insist upon voting like it is, maybe our time is up.
Remember what all the polls started saying in the final weeks of the 2000 campaign? "Too close to call." I don't want to hear that as we get closer to 11/2 - I want to hear "Kerry drubbing Bush in latest polls."
