"...Time Magazine Polls clearly show American people favor *..."

[linazelle]

says Campbell Brown as she wonders why Kerry and the Dems aren't able to get any traction from the opposition to the war on terra. "Should they just give up" wondered Brown.

Brown cited stats with Bush having a 56% approval rating on handling the war on terra. (Of course, this is due to the bump this week from the antiquated intelligence used to call alerts, and, of course, they didn't post these stats when the polls weren't in Bush's favor.)

This is the same Campbell Brown who appeared genuinely perplexed earler this week when she stated how amazing it is that Kerry got no bounce from the convention even though it was aired around the clock. :eyes:

1. Ummm...Bush trails in that poll badly in a head to head matchup.

[Veggie Meathead]

2. This is what comes from putting ditzy air heads on TV spouting

nonsense round the clock.This is followed by all-knowing dumbasses like Maureen (NoMo)Dowd strutting like a peacock saying nothing in 2500 word columns of hot air.

3. Don't they show that more would vote for JK than shrub though?

I thought that "voting" thing generally indicated which candidate was preferred?

5. Campbell cited a poll specifically on opinions on * handling terror

They know he isn't winning the vote but they so want to influence that by citing things like the terror stats.

[Zynx]

7. They can Cheney themselves.

All that matters is the head to head matchup in the end. It doesn't matter if people would rather have Bush scare the shit out of them in the end.

[59millionmorons]

4. Is that the same Time poll

Is that the same Time poll that has Kerry leading the incumbent 48-43. Did she mention this?

[linazelle]

6. The poll was not on Kerry vs. Bush, it was approve/disapprove of Bush

handling the war on terror.

8. Time has always favored Bush..cancel your sub now ! ..I did

[Carolina]

10. I did too, a year ago

and NO REGRETS. Don't miss the nonsense or the clutter.
