The Repubs are clearly trying to talk the country into believing he's going to win. Can't wait to shut them up!

4. True, true
But I'd settle for shutting up posters on DU who have bought the Repuke line and can't stop repeating in under various themes.

6. I've nicknamed it Operation Kill Shot
Edited on Mon Sep-13-04 03:43 PM by rocknation
Kerry is behind in the polls! He's inferior to Bush in every way! Bush has solved everything in Iraq and Afghanistan--that's why you don't see news coverage about them anymore! The election is already over! Resistance to Bush is futile!

But why are they trying to shut the election down NOW, with eight weeks to go and no debates finalized? What could the Kerry camp possibly have that that would require THIS level of pre-emption?

8. The best response I've heard to the poll numbers is:
All those people that didn't vote for Bush in 2000 aren't going to vote for him again in 2004

9. I think Bush may have already lost the election
Because there is more to spin than meets the eye. Which the Dems can't seem to figure out.

Since oh about July, during the convention, I've been confinced that Kerry can't lose unless something illegal is going on. Diebold, terrorist attack, ect.

I don't believe these polls and I don't believe the whores and I don't believe the questionable posts on DU. None of that has convinced me. I believe what I see, which is the passion of those around me for Kerry, the wonderfulness of those here coming out to support Kerry, Republicans for Kerry, Vets for Kerry, and seeing him speak and seeing what he's really like. Likeable and warm and real.

No one I have seen is fired up for * except for religious fundies. That vote is certainly lost.

The negatives are nothing but propaganda in my opinion, and if propaganda works, you only have yourself to blame.
