Kerry losing ground as talk turns to Iraq (now a TIE in MI)
Newspaper (The Freep) | 09/30/04 | Kieri

Posted on 09/30/2004 5:49:13 AM PDT by Kieri

The Detroit Free Press has a new poll showing that Kerry and Bush are in a statistical tie! They polled 840 voters and Kerry currently leads 48/46 among registered voters, but BUSH leads 50/48 among LIKELY voters. Kerry has lost a 4 to 6 point lead here. The margin of error is 3.5 percent.

The article adds that they're not sure why Kerry is in decline, but state voters support the action in Iraq 48/42. There's a great comment by someone who never voted for anyone other than a Democrat since JFK (from Ann Arbor, of all places!!)

Are they counting the illegal votes? I'm still quite worried about Demorat fraud in states like MI.

Landslide. After tonight - after people get a taste of Kerry's condescending, "f-you, I'm married to a European" attitude, versus W's pedestrian delivery, it will be all over.

"I've never voted for anyone other than a Democrat since JFK, but I'm going to vote for my first Republican president," said Cichanski, 65, a retired geology professor who said he did some soul-searching to switch party allegiance. "I think the Democrats couldn't have picked a more horrible candidate than John Kerry. I think he's a fraud, particularly with the whole business of terrorists and Iraq.

"He scares the hell out of me. I don't think he wants to win."

LOL!!!

Like Dee Dee Myers says: Kerry is in deep doo-doo. I agree that he is going to come out swinging tonight but don't expect our President to take it lying down. He is going to slamm Kerry with one liners that will finally take the wind out of his windsurfer. Michigan is still considered Kerry territory but now the Boston Windsurfer will need to spend money defending New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland.

Sue Huff, 56, a school social worker in Dearborn, said she's not happy with Bush's handling of the Iraq war. She said she's supporting Kerry.

But, she said, "I'm not sure that Kerry's going to do much better. But I have to vote for somebody, and I'm not voting for" Ralph "Nader."

She's descended from Portuguese Colonialists stock. If they win, we'll be the new servants for the Kerrys. Remember the crack about letting the people in Florida run around naked when people sent supplies for the victims of the hurricane? She cannot help but talk down to people.

The fraud story is starting to get some traction here in MI. The Lansing State Journal reported on it yesterday and now the Freep today. Here's an excerpt from the Freep:

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- With four business days to go until Monday's voter registration deadline, a record number of Michigan residents have signed up to vote on Nov. 2, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land said Wednesday.

But among the many legitimate registration forms are hundreds, if not thousands, that appear to be fraudulent. Land said advocacy groups for the first time are hiring people to register voters, encouraging some to fill in the forms for people who haven't registered so they can make more money.

Eaton County Clerk Fran Fuller said one registration form was filled out for a man who was dead. That form and others looked like they'd been filled in by someone taking names out of a Lansing phone book, she said. She has turned the information over to the county prosecutor, who's investigating.

"The signatures and the printing of the names were what first tipped off my staff that something wasn't right," said Fuller, who estimates her office has received about 100 fraudulent forms. "The signatures were very similar. A lot of them had no driver's license number, which was very suspicious."

Land said nearly 7 million Michigan residents have registered to vote so far, already beating the record set in 2000, when 6,859,332 people registered. The draw this year, as in 2000, is a close and contentious presidential race that has political parties and advocacy groups signing up new voters to try and help their candidates.

Many of those being paid to register voters are college students, which is why so many of the suspicious registrations are turning up in Wayne County, home of Wayne State University; Washtenaw County, home of the University of Michigan; and Ingham County, home of Michigan State University, said state Elections Division director Chris Thomas.

Kent County and Kalamazoo County, which also have state universities within their borders, are seeing similar problems, he added. Some clerks in the affected counties have their staffs working overtime to sort through suspicious-looking registrations, or have had to hire extra help.

Thomas said the groups submitting the most questionable registrations have been the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan, or PIRGIM, and Project Vote. Fuller said all of the suspicious registrations her Eaton County office received were turned in by PIRGIM, a nonpartisan advocacy group based in Ann Arbor..."

If he answers every question with a Bush bash, or the "with my plan" that you never hear the details of, he is toast.

This is a good idea but how can we watch every cemetary in Michigan?

how is Grand l'Orange holding onto the robot vote?

Leela: That's not true. The first robot president won by exactly one vote.

Bender: Ah, yes! John Quincy Adding Machine. He struck a chord with the voters when he pledged not to go on a killing spree.

Professor: But, like most politicians he promised more than he could deliver.

She said it a few days ago. I am surprised you didn't hear about the remark in Florida. It was quite amusing as if the option was clothes or nothing else.
