Repubs using fake polls to change votes in Florida.
Just got a fake poll from the repubs. The questions were:
1. Do I support Bush
2. Am I pro-life or pro-choice
3. Am I worried that if elected Kerry will raise taxes.

The radio has been filled with Bush ads about how Kerry voted to raise taxes upteen million times, etc. So those in Florida beware.

My answer to #3 was: thanks to the Bush economic policies, I've been unemployed for 2 years and don't have to worry about paying taxes, just like the rich people.

1. I agree the dirty tricks are starting in Florida
What amazes though is Yesterday I saw some threads here that said Kerry doesn't need Florida to win. I say they are wrong, If Kerry does not carry Florida, he will not be going to the White House.

2. Among the dirty tricks being used in Florida .....
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 08:04 PM by flordehinojos
and just in case there are any Cuban-Americans who might be considering a vote for Kerry, the trio of right wing Republican attack dogs from the U.S. House of Representatives comprised of Mario Diaz-Balart, his brother Lincoln Diaz-Balart, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have been spreading throughout the Miami area the rumor that Teresa Heinz-Kerry is associated or supports an internet site which supports Fidel Castro.

That is stoking the flames against a Kerry vote within the
insight-less Cuban-American community. Plain and simple.

3. Push polling
Maybe the Dems should do a little "polling" of their own down there.

4. Push polling and smears. The old classic Rove/Atwater playbook.
