1. Quote at the end of the survey....

''I voted for him twice and would again. Considering the alternatives, it's a no-brainer. The economy is roaring, jobs are plentiful.''

WHAT PLANET ARE THESE FOLKS LIVING ON???

[William769]

2. Planet AOLHELL!

[WA98296]

3. I saw that and wondered exactly the same thing...unbelievable....

Perhaps an oil executive?

[AllyCat]

4. I saw that too. Wonder what jobs the person sees that are so

plentiful? Please share your information! Millions of out of work or underemployed Americans want to know.

Considering the alternatives? What...NOT spending billions of dollars on an illegal war? NOT cutting social programs to the bone so that those poor out of work or underemployed Americans won't starve or suffer? NOT appointing cronies to key positions, but instead, having well-qualified individuals in areas of expertise? Those alternatives?

5. That respondent tortures people for a living.

"Jobs are plentiful", indeed, for Pentagon contractors. Just go to Iraq or Jordan. They're in all the best hotels.

[liberalconscious]

6. John Kerry would still find a way to lose if elections were today

[leveymg]

8. Self-delete

[Ravenseye]

9. Just Crazy

my mother in law is one of those people and says the most ridiculous things...My wife has been looking for a job for months. Her mother would say things like "You know you should go and get a job in " and my wife would essentially respond "What the hell do you think i'm trying to do? There are NO jobs out there."

The truth is that the only jobs she ever saw were ones that were highly technical and specific, wouldn't hire someone with a Masters degree (ie she's too educated for them), or comission sales only.

Anyway. I don't know how they cook the figures but the economy isn't roaring and jobs aren't plentiful unless you have no education and dont' mind working for 6 dollars an hour without health care benefits.

7. He certainly earned all of it.

[ComerPerro]

10. 40 precent voted for Bush, eh? Wonder how many lied?

No one voted for Nixon either, right?

...

Or, maybe its just that only 40% voted for Bush, but 55% or so of the total group had their votes count as Bush votes.

LOL

11. Why the hell don't democrats get back to exit polling somehow?

Anything less is just permitting the stealing of elections. This is the LEAST they could do.,

[TheFarseer]

12. His supporters

are NOT excited to be a bush supporter, but if the election were held today (and you must consider the RW slime machine would have been in high gear for some time now) it would be a very close election because his people will talk trash about him all day and then vote for him anyway because of his "moral values"

[zann725]

13. I discontinued my AOL subscript. when their Electoral Map projected Kerry

would get ONLY 3 Electoral Votes country-wide!! This was only a couple days before the Election. The absurdity of it was so insulting, I called to cancel and told them PRECISELY why. And you know AOL, they begged me to stay, and I said "NOT!!!"

Interesting their polls at last are twisting in the political wind.
