March 30, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - A new poll shows President Bush has gained 12 points on Democrat John Kerry in the last three weeks - a sign the Bush campaign's ads are taking a toll. In a two way-matchup, Bush leads Kerry, 51 percent to 47 percent, a 7-point gain for Bush and 5-point drop for Kerry, according to the USAToday/CNN poll.

American's might not be the brightest bunch in the world, but to expect them to swallow this line of bulls**t is rather absurd.



You have a point.
I agree. :)

"They'd take over the country by force, if they could, and at some point they may try, because they sure aren't winning it on elections."

Excuse me, am I missing something? It seems as though they have just about taken over through the judiciary already!

"Who would have been better, really?"

Joe Lieberman. The old one. He's a guy I could support once he was in office. Of course he had no chance in the leftist primaries, and probably couldn't beat Bush.

Nonetheless, Lieberman has supported: vouchers, capital gains tax cuts, robust America-first foreign policy, strength against terror, and some spending discipline. All of which makes him a non-starter for the Dem primaries.

And also showing that the people of America are too smart to fall for Kerry and the DemoRATs personal smear campaign! Rush was saying the other day that the Dems strategy now is to try and attack Bush, not on what they perceive is his weakness, but on his strength - the war on terror. Guess what, RATS, it isn't working! The Barbara Streisand (BS) about his guard service didn't work, the BS about "the worst job losses since Hoover" didn't work, the BS about the horrible economy didn't work, and the BS about him being weak on the war on terror sure as heck isn't going to work. But go ahead and keep trying! The more vitriol DemoRATs spew the stronger Bush gets!

So they went with a secular liberal instead of a relatively conservative religious Democrat

...excuse me?? (not trying to insult you :)...LIEberman was more "relatively conservative" (not like Sen. Miller-D,Ga.), maybe in the senate. During the 2000 election..he became a very liberal and pushed the 'RAT platform 100%, about 180 degrees from his "so-called professed " beliefs...IMHO, his "relatively conservative religious" beliefs were "window dressing".

With independent Ralph Nader included, Bush leads 49 percent to 45 percent, with Nader getting 4 percent, the poll found."

Are these Libertarians that would prefer Nader over Bush?

Is this really surprising? Kerry was the "front runner" eight months ago. He was surpassed by every Democratic nominee at one point or another in the polls.

Krauthammer noted a couple of months ago this is simply the "weirdest, and weakest, Democratic field in history"....and he was right, as usual.

I suspect its going to be a wide margin of victory come November. Americans have been rejecting liberalism since Reagan stepped onto the stage in 1980, that hasn't changed, in fact its picked up speed. A glance at the thousands (yes, thousands) of elective office lost by Democrats / liberals in the past two decades shows this clearly.

As the saying goes, all politics are "local". On the local level, liberalism has been rejected, in dramatic fashion for two decades, folks.

You can look it up.

America would never, ever elect a president who talks like Lieberman.

He does sound a lot like that homosexual guy who used to play in the tv show "Alf".

I might have voted for Lieberman as a Senator if he had been a Republican. It's against my religion to vote for a party that advocates killing babies.

What is interesting is that Nader takes two points from both.

Who would have been better, really?

The only way the 'Rats could have won this year is to have gone with Hillary! in a completely personality-based campaign. If they had unleashed the perfect sh!t storm and gone intensely negative while pulling a "Rick Lazio is attacking me"-type move whenever the Pubbies punched back, they could have enticed perhaps a bare majority to vote for Hillary!.

It would be a risky strategy, but the one with the best chance of success IMHO. Fortunately for us all, Hillary! is not interested in taking risks.

IN AN EMAIL RE ITEMS THAT

*MIGHT*

HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR BIBLICAL PROPHECY

was a section from a source that collects supposedly highly sourced

RUMOR MILL items . . . was the following horrifying bit--the Bush election part after the Syria bit:




Meanwhile, there are overseas publications indicating that the CIA is reporting to the President that Syria is becoming a major factor in the inability of US military forces to squelch the Al Qaeda insurgency inside Iraq.

[I SHARE THE FOLLOWING PARTICULARLY BECAUSE I'VE HAD A strong SENSE THAT THE ILLUMINATI HAD TO BE AT LEAST ANNOYED WITH BUSH FOR NOT FOLLOWING THEIR SCRIPT CLOSELY ENOUGH, FOR SOME TIME. I REMAIN A STRONG BUSH SUPPORTER. I BELIEVE HE'S TREADING AS FINE A LINE AS HE CAN TO DO GOOD IN A VERY TRYING HAZARDOUS TIME WHILE STILL STAYING ALIVE].

There are reports that the Illuminati are very, very
displeased with George Bush Jr and his team.


Bush Told To "Throw' Election to Democrats According to one inside speculator, the Illuminati plans had called for
a short quick war against Iraq that would lead to a short quick war against Syria and Iran, so that the US would control the Axis of Evil and then push on to control
Saudi oil also.

This didn't happen due to the Bush team fumbling the
Illuminati's plans. This fumbling around also happened to his father, who dutifully "threw" the election to Clinton in 1992 as a penalty for not finishing off his business partner, Saddam Hussein.


Now, the junior Bush has been told to "throw" the election to the Democrats. Early reports suggest that Jr. is resisting the "suggestion." Such resistance in the past, so we are told, has led to forcible removal, as in assassination or impeachment ala, Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton as prior examples. If this rumor is rue, then look
for something "really" embarrasing to surface before the election, or afterwards, a scandal involving Cheney, forcing his removal and then a scandal involving Bush and an impeachment + imminent conviction that forces a Bush resignation. Why that instead of an assassination?


If they don't like what they've got now, and should they not be able to "fix" the vote count, then assassination keeps the same team in-place and does no good.


However, a removal of Cheney could bring about a satisfactory replacement much like Gerald Ford was in 1974 when he came aboard and replaced Richard Nixon. Besides, an assassination of Bush Jr would not be usable to help an Illuminati cause, at least not that we can see, so we're inclined to think these "enlightened ones" won't try to bump Bush off.

Of course, there is always a "heart attack" or "stroke" that might also take care of the Bush problem performed at a supernatural level. Again, this is a rumor being kicked around, and we're not sure if we're buying into it or not, but it provides for a fascinating set of speculations if true.

re Illuminati

SInce we are now talking supernatural. President Bush is a Christina and thebible says that no weapon formed against himn will prosper. Try as they might the 'illuminati' can't do anything to thwart God's plan.

Interesting that the email references Johnson, Nixon and Clinton as imminent impeachments that got people out of the presidency and yet only Nixon resigned.

Looks like that email was all fluff and no truth

Al Sharpton would've better represented the party, but the left won't allow minorities in leadership positions.

John F. Seinfeld's approval ratings will only go downward

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

1972 isn't going to happen - Bush will win with comfy coattails, but tap at at around 350 EVs. Too many states are out of reach and honestly I have no idea how to bring them around.

I certainly believe that our prayers make a huge amount of difference in Bush's safety as well as flexibility against all the forces of evil.

True, God's purposes will end out.

However, we can have a large or small or no part in that.

And, the percentage of belivers rising to the occasion to pray and live right will make a difference as to how much evil has how much of a play how soon.

God has a great variety and number of ways to bring about HIS will. Some of those would be less pleasant to more of us than others.

Christ gave tons of authority to The Church. If we don't pray and even fast and pray--then the enemy has more 'legal' right to get away with more crud.

The illuminati are not exactly cotton candy. Evil's power is mostly in the fear it induces and other ways it neutralizes the good doing right. But evil is, for now, not exactly powerLESS.

We must pray. And do whatever else good people must do to resist evil.

I think the email rumor stuff resonated so much with me because of my own personal sense that

the puppet masters have TRIED hard to keep Bush Jr on a short leash and that he's chafed and resisted wholesale to their serious consternation. And, I've expected that at some point they'd try and do him or his reign in as much as they could.

It's just logical.

Are you of the conviction that there are NO such things as ANY puppet masters working to install a global government of tyranny to be ruled by the AntiChrist as the Bible indicates?
