Want Proof That Kerry Is Winning?
The polls.

Yeah, I know the polls show that KMerry and Bush are either tied, or Bush has a slight edge.

If Bush were really ahead, then the polls (which, as we know, are fucked beyond belief) would show Bush with a double digit lead. Do you doubt this?

Psyops are a way of life for BushCo, and Bush thrives on adoration.

Since the polls are about even, take it for granted that the internals show Kerry ahead by several points.

Then, add to that all the young cell phoners, and the massive registrations in Dem strongholds, and you can see that there is a sub culture that falls under the radar, one which will break for Kerry IF we are successful in turning registrations into active voters.

So don't bash the polls. The prove that we're ahead!

6. Wrong! We DO Know -
*That voter registration is at record levels in Dem strongholds.

*That youth voter registration drives are very successful this year.

*That Cell Phone holders don't get polled.

*That youths are among the top users of cellular technology.

*Kerry leads Bush in the 18-30 demographic

2. Exactly so.
Edited on Tue Sep-28-04 06:40 PM by blondeatlast
Kerry is neck and neck with an incumbent, wartime, president--that is among a selected few that have:

A) voted before (few)
B) still have a land line (fewer)
C) been registered prior to the last general election in their state (fewer still)
D) happened to come up on a random call list (FAR fewer still)

People, that's a very SELECT few.

Kerry by 11 points.

Mark my words.

3. Hmmm, your definition of "proof" and mine are very different.
Bush* doesn't run all the polls. Separate entities do a number of them. Each has it's own agenda, I'm sure. I don't trust any of the polls, but I do think Zogby and Harris are somewhat reasonable.

So far, the polls prove nothing, one way on the other.

4. Yeah, perhaps "proof" wasn't the best word
Should have said "evidence"

Maybe "circumstantial evidence"

Or how about "a vague feeling in the back of my head"

Fuck that. I believe the Polls are skewed to prop up Bush. Period.

Agree or don't. No hard feelings.

5. polls are lies
kerry is ahead, and every canvassing dem knows it. we have the lead, whatever the military-industrial complex wants us to believe.

the important thing now is to stop wasting time on undecideds (we're already ahead without them, indecisive morons) and consolidate. get the dems out! don't give up hope!
