Kerry drop in polls is to our advantage.
One thing that people fail to see is that a Kerry drop in poll standings (be it accurate or not) is a GOOD THING. People who want Bush gone but are lazy voters see this and say "hmmm I BETTER make sure I vote this year". It rallies the base to VOTE. If a poll came out and said we were ahead 8 points it might make some voters complacent.

Let the mighty-righties think they have it won based on poll #s.

They get fat and lazy..while we are on the offense.

THE ONLY POLL THAT MATTERS IS ON NOV 2.

Get the word out!

4. What makes me sick is that it shouldn't even be close! Are people blind?
B* has such a dismal record that it shouldn't even be close. It disgusts me that so many people still think * is worthy of their vote.

5. Its also a good tallking point with lazy voters.
Everyone knows someone who doesnt vote becuase they don't have the time right?

Try this.


"Look the polls say Bush is gonna win this thing if YOU don't vote"

sure breaks the ice and opens their eyes.

8. I plea with you not to call it a DROP in polls because it gives
legitimacy to the veracity of the poll and we know they are full of crap when certain pollsters conduct them.

It's very interesting that Gallup conducted an INTERNET POLL this afternoon and now are claiming that Bush is ahead 8. Crapola - no matter how THEY conducted it.

Look who GALLUP is associated with.

It's the same corporations who bring you verbal and text progaganda.

9. What makes me sick
Is that this is another Gallop poll trying to out do Faux for the title of "Fair and balanced"

Gallop has been sticking to the 39 percent Republican, 30 percent Democrat ratio in its polling and the only solution to this is to start a boycott of advertisers based on the selection of Gallop to do polls with the suggestion that these media outlets start selecting less biased pollsters.
