and it IS unanimous...BUSH aint happenin again..he WILL be voted the hell OUT of office..at least they are ready to do their part.

I went out with a veteran friend of mine tonight, and we heard the rantings of about three or four soldiers who had been in either Kuwait or Iraq, and said the same...NO MORE BUSH!!

ballots,late or not,this time around.

4. Did you read the BBV article on this?
The effort to convert military voting to Electronic is being outsourced to a company owned by Saudi Arabia- talk about orwellian.

6. If this is true, we all need to contact our congressmen about this as soon
as possible. We need to have all votes counted in the United States by traditional methods.

7. I don't understand something
I hear all these anecdotal experiences about people turning away from Bush, and I'm seeing the same thing here. You would expect that AWOL would be plummeting in the polls instead of the eensy little drip-dripping we've been seeing. What's going on?

9. Op polls seldome reflect any real figures.
They are more often then not skewed to reflect the opinion of the organization funding them. It's a proven fact that public opinion is heavily influenced by the results of polls--they're self-fulfilling.

So, RW media = RW polling results.

Right-leaning and Left-leaning polls are both rife with this kind of "innacuracy".

97% of people know that!

8. Same at my office..
I heard two well-heeled executive types in the lunch room talking about how the * Administration was taking us to hell in a hand basket...

One of them turned to me ( I was getting tea at the time) and said..."Hey your involved in the Dem party now right???" I said yes and he asked where he could get involved...

10. Never trust the polls
Remember a week before the last Presidential election, most polls
had Bush up eight to ten points, except for Zogby, which showed
it to be a very close race.

12. My friend's son just returned from Iraq

The kid didn't like Bush before he was sent to Iraq, and now he utterly detests the motherfucker!
