How much are the RATs paying you to infiltrate FR? Whatever it is, they got robbed. You stick out like a sore thumb on here!

"The DUI leak wasn't shocking you DU troll, it was a joke."

Excuse me, a joke??? Chris Lehane, Gore's campaign manager said the DUI scandal cost Bush the popular vote. Bush was leading by 5 points over Gore before the DUI story hit. Rove estimates 4 million Christians stayed home because they were so demoralized because of the story. youre going to be in a total state of shock on Nov 3rd if Kerry wins. For an incumbent President to lose when GDP grows over 4% will be completely unprecidented and will show conservatives that elections in this country have become rigged

If Clarke comes across as credible to you, than Bill Clinton must be a Saint in your eyes and the stain on the Blue Dress didn't really contain the DNA of Bill Clinton, it was just a part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that was out to get Bill Clinton.

Richard Clarke can come across as anything the media wants to portray him as, the problem is this little thing you liberals try to avoid..... It's called THE FACTS.

[raloxk]

nothing I am saying is pro-DEM. I am issuing a warning that Bush is in big trouble. I am terribly concerned that people here are obvlious to that fact.

[nopardons]

We could use an ignore button...that's for sure!

Unfortunately, there are far too many on FR, who imagine that they not only know and understand politics,government,and history, but are "experts" to boot. What they appear to know about these things, could be engraved on the head of a pin, in HUGE font,with massive of space left over.

As an example of what they do NOT know, but we do, Reagan, at this point in time, was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar behind in the polls.

[My2Cents]

Not if we can help it.

Of course, the collusion between the Democrats and the media is the worst kept secret of this election year.

[PhiKapMom]

You are so right about the media polls. What amazes me are the people on here that take the polls as the gospel and wring their hands.

Believe like you we are going to be seeing people that haven't voted for awhile vote in this election. Those conservatives that stayed home in 2000 will not stay home this time.

I have three neighbors who have just switched their registrations to Republican because of Kerry as their candidate. But then we are in flyover country which doesn't count to the biased media.

At approximately this point in time in '88, the Massachusetts lib that went on to win his party's nomination, was 17 points ahead of GHWBush, and I can't recall President Dukakis, can you?

"If Clarke comes across as credible to you"

it isnt me you idiot!!! it is the millions of voters who are only casual listeners to what is going on. I think that so many people listen to Rush and Sean Hannity that they think it is the story that everyone is getting. Because you dont listen to CBS and CNN, you think Rush's message is getting through, it isnt

[My2Cents]

The media is helping him lie. No surprise here, but disturbing nevertheless.

[MJY1288]

Who won in 2000?

ROFLMAO,

Al Gore was a sitting VP who had to resort to underhanded tactics, just to make it close. You liberals are pathetic LOL

[raloxk]

Gore won the popular vote and Bush the electoral vote. Bush was leading Gore by 5 points the week before the election. With out DUI-gate, it would have been Bush 50, Gore 45 and Nader 5.

[PhiKapMom]

Give it a rest! Learned something a long time ago on here -- if you were not a RAT, you would have blasted me. That's why I said what I did -- works everytime.

Spend a lot of my time helping to get this President reelected and will tell anyone that Republicans are taking nothing foregranted and will be working as many hours as necessary in all of our States to make sure we Reelect President Bush and keep the Senate and House Republican.

Rove estimates 4 million Christians stayed home because they were so demoralized because of the story

Do you have a quote in context on that.

I think he said that conservative Christians stayed home because they thought Bush wasn't conservative enough although Bush has put through more pro-life legislation than Reagan.

Anyway, you throw out quotes out of context and hope they stick.

Typical liberal tactic.

[raloxk]

i am not liberal

[MJY1288]

LOL, Don't get testy on me lefty, Despite all the lies and underhanded anti American stunts you and your liberal friends have undertaken for a year now, Most polls show GWB ahead of Kerry despite the fact that we have had only 4 weeks to show America what a flip flopping loser John Kerry is. His claim to fame is to trash his fellow soldiers in Vietnam and other than that, he's just a fence sitting Liberal who couldn't lead if his life depended upon it

[nopardons]

Oh me,oh my, YOU think that YOU are some kind of Paul Revere now? Issuing one if by land two if by sea and the sky is falling, the sky is falling, THE BEASTLY SKY IS FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALING!

Whatever did all of do, before you joined FR? How did we manage to live, without your brilliant postings?(/sarcasm)

Look,from what you post, you don't know anything at all about politics. You know even less about polls. You were all over that Rasmussen poll,which is worthless.Read, read, and the read some more here and maybe you'll learn a thing or three.

Chris Lehane, Gore's campaign manager said the DUI scandal cost Bush the popular vote

Anyone that quotes Lehane for facts is not a Republican. One thing cost the popular vote -- F R A U D!!! And who did the FRAUD -- RATS!

Or a President Perot for that matter. Perot actually was leading, IIRC, when he dropped out the first time.

He got back in when Bush 41 started to take the lead.

[raloxk]

tell me what I have said that is liberal. I am just very worried Bush is going to lose. He cannot get over 50% in any poll. the right track/wrong track poll question is a 10 point margin for wrong track. Majority in polls say it is time for someone new. The country is very wary and tired of war and slow economy. I also see an unprecedented onsalught coming after Bush and it is very demoralizing to see foreign govts trying to influence our election, to see hte press beome not biased but outright partisian. I think a lot of people herewont be able ot go into work on Nov 3rd, bacause they will be in a state of shock.
