You sound nothing but an echo chamber.

Take an English class.

Oh, if think I'm pessimistic, I stated that Bush will take Ohio and this is one of the responses:

"To: COURAGE

I don't feel so confident. I WANT Bush to take OHIO. I am PRAYING that Bush will win OHIO and the election. However, if I just casually talk to people - mainly women, who are not my born-again Christian buddies, I am hearing Kerry all the time! The one thing I hear over and over is "the war, the war, the war" and how all of our boys are dying over there. Glad you're an optimist but after the debacle in 2000 where they tried to put Gore in with their little cheating chads, I just knew, and still know, that they'll stop at nothing. The other side believes in a means to an end. Any means! They are ruthless liars and thieves. That's my opinion.

So you echo chamber members, some people state that I'm an optimist. Do not let this get out though. I am a charter member of the Grim FReeper Club.

You sound like a DemocRAT, a personal attack, no argument. Very sad. Now place you head back into the sand, everything is all right. Bush in a landslide. Easy. It's a cake walk.

I sound like a DemocRAT? Whatever. Selectively reading my posts then straw man'ing what I've said doesn't help your argument one bit. Go back and read the posts. I said nothing about a landslide, nor implied it. But you certainly have implied that Bush is doomed and that Kerry will win in a landslide. Again, take an English class because you can't form a sentence nor can you read one.

Whoooo!, let me worship the ground you walk on. I don't give a F'k what you are. Take your propaganda to DU.

Then why do you stupidly fall for all their tricks? You are playing right into their hands! That's the one thing you've posted that's true, but you still don't appreciate the depth and pervasisveness of the liberal establishment and their propaganda engines. Stop feeding them.

My point is that the other polls show some movement in response to events. Rasmussen never does. The recent polls have shown the President with a lead beyond the MOE and I believe that Kerry had a lead above the MOE in some earlier polls before the SBVT ads hit. Even the ultra-partisan Chrissy Mathews agrees that Bush is ahead by around seven points. The actions of the Democrats since the Republican convention have spoken loudly that they know Kerry is behind.

Merging several polls and keeping a moving average is not the best way to determine if individual polls have leads above the MOE. I guessing that if you drop Rasmussen out, this last round of polls would show the President with an above-the-MOE lead.

[ableChair]

They are ruthless liars and thieves.

And what does that make you when you help them by poll pushing Bush Down? Are you really that stupid?

[COURAGE]

And now go back and read that post carefully, if you can. or your head is still stuck in the sand?

[COURAGE]

Now, now. You are sounding more like Kerry.

Turn around, walk about ten steps, and get on your knees, and worship that ground. Use it as a proxy for the ground that I walked on. Thank you.

[COURAGE]

I see you went to public school, that was a response to me, I did not write it. Read it again, carefully, put you little head back into the sand. Everything is fine. Bush wins 49 states. No problem.

[COURAGE]

I meant to say "Put your little head..." I did fail typing.

Exactly, you and your ilk have nothing to say to your aiding and abetting. Just ignore the question. STFU and stop helping these traitors trying to get Kerry in the White House. You and POA2, along with a few others, are SO F'king stupid 'cause you have no idea how thoroughly you're being used by them. Yet you think your so d$%n smart. You've got nothing but fat egos and IQs at room temperature. They've bent you over like a pretzel and you don't even realize it. STUPID!

[ableChair]

I did fail typing

You've failed much more important things than that.

Merging several polls and keeping a moving average is not the best way to determine if individual polls have leads above the MOE.

But by the same token, relying on individual polls is not the best way to determine the state of the race. An individual poll could either be at the upper or lower end of the MOE, or it could be an outlier. No way to know which.

My point is that the other polls show some movement in response to events. Rasmussen never does.

I'd disagree with that assessment. You're probably looking only at the 3-day averages, which aren't real good at showing what's happening, because one day of bad data throws them off. But if you look at the week-long averages, you see movement. Not huge. But a couple points. We got it after Kerry's convention (he went up 4 in Rasmussen's poll). We're getting it now after Bush's convention (throw out Saturday's data point, and Bush is up 4-5 according to Rasmussen).

[Petronski]

Don't let DISCOURAGED lecture you on intelligence. He's the one who believes the U.S. Constitution requires the presidential Election to be held on the first Monday in November. LOL

[ableChair]

that was a response to me, I did not write it

Thank you for finally being honest and telling us who you really are. So, you DISAGREE with that comment and think the liberals are truthful and honest. I rest my case. If it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it probably IS a duck.

[ableChair]

ROTFLMAO

[COURAGE]

Now you are really sounding like a DemocRAT, after the polls showed Bush ahead. It's pass your nap time. Do not forget to take your blood pressure meds. It's time to go to Freeper Island. You might want to use "Wingdings" since you are running out symbols to express your very thoughtful statements.
