Exactly! -- And, they know if Kerry doesn't have a double digit lead across the board in August, he's not doing well at all.
You're right.
I think I've finally nailed why I'm hesitant to trust the polls.
I'm being manipulated. I can sense it.
Pollsters keep repeating Iraq is a failure. It is Vietnam. No WMD's. The economy is stagnant. Bush is a liar. Bush is a Failure. Bush is a Divider. People hate Bush. Kerry is tied with Bush. Kerry is making inroads on Commander-In-Chief qualifications. Bush is in trouble. Bush is going to lose. We've lost world respect. Yada yada.
Massive attempts to brainwash the American public. Now, I think I know why the Democrats are confident- but not. They believe these lies have taken hold. They believe the American people have suffiently been worn down. They believe we'll accept anyone other than Bush to make it all stop. This is why they are acting as if they've won the election.
Yet they are still screaming. They are still displaying their irrationality to the public at large. They are still working 24/7 to destroy G.W.'s character in the minds of the public. Why do this if they have the election won?
Simple.
They know their bond to the American people is predicated on a Lie. If they allow the Lie to be replaced by the Truth, they lose overwhelmingly.
They are confident of the strength of a Lie, but they aren't confident about the weakness of the Truth.
Take a look at the attacks on the Swiftboat Veterans. Despite all the power they own at their disposal, they were unable to stop this assault. They were unable to prevent these veterans mission to give the people the Truth. If the American people embrace the Truth, they lose. They have to silence the Truth before it reaches any further into the mainstream.
This election is about the Truth vs a Lie.
I do believe ultimately the Truth prevails, we'll see in the interim of this election if it will triumph in this Presidential cycle. But pundits and Polls cannot predict how this race will result because they cannot predict the strength & weakness of the Lie this far in advance.
