1. Oh please...
That was the Republican Frank Luntz focus group on Hardball-- it was as bogus as a $3 bill.

2. That was Frank Luntz putting on a puppet show
If that were true, would they have locked Zell out the next night and pretended he had nothing to do with the convention?

5. People suck
A woman in my office thought it was a great speech and she's a likely Kerry voter. When I told her most of the stuff in it were lies, like the list of weapon systems Kerry voted to kill (on Cheney's recommendation), she gave a surprised giggle.

6. George Bush is Hero of the Stupid
My god, so many Americans are damn naive.

Our education system has gone to crap and ignorant "undecided" voters the last 8 years are proof positive of that.

8. If people are uninformed and they hear and believe that sh@#, it is
damning. We heard it and knew it was untrue but the clueless think "whoa, that doesn't sound good".

You would have to be a bit clueless to be undecided at this point (generally, I'm sure there are exceptions).

10. People ARE uniformed and they do believe lies
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 03:14 PM by depakote_kid
which is why the Dems have to hammer harder, every single day. They have to get just as mean, dirty and emotional to reach those types, and unfortunately, they have a very poor track record of doing so.

12. I agree. These "undecided" people in these focus groups ARE
UNINFORMED. That was what I was trying to say.

9. Luntz pulled this crap (pre-selected "focus" groups) during 2000
constantly had them after all the debates on MSNBC. It has since come out, what a tremendous degree the groups were "pre-selected" based on their views and past party affiliation. Questions were also focused only on those who "fit the profile" for providing the desired responses.

Frank Lutz is a fraud.

11. Here in NV, cranks like Miller -- old, angry, bigoted, fearful,
hateful, white guys are a dime a dozen, unfortunately. Big population of younger ditto heads overlaps with the old farts.
