" Exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Media Research/Mitofsky International showed clearly that the president draws much of his support from religious people"

Old Media continue to deceive, disinform and spin tirelessly.
Is this the same "The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Media Research/Mitofsky International" that came out with hose fraudulent "exit polls" that showed Kerry solidly ahead in both Florida and Ohio, even with President Bush in NC and leading PA by as much as 20%?
The Associated Press that manufactured these fraudulent exit polls, has a very big nerve indeed showing their face in public and coming out with even more of their totally discredited "exit poll" rubbish!
Their pathetic attempt to put President Bush's win down to just some so-called "religious people" is despicable. and lacks merit. President Bush was solidly backed by the broadest swatch of Americans any President has ever had. The Associated Press can take that in their pipes and smoke it!

Seems we have established a mandate for taking the "Ten Commandments" out of the closet.

I am still in shock that secularists won that fight.

Even JFKerry was preaching the Commandments.

Flooding into Black churchs spouting scriptures that were dug up by staff members didn't get the job done this time and won't the next ,if all of the Chriatians that were praying so hard ,will not forget to continue to humble themselves and pray for our country and President. The victory must be God's.

Beware what the libs say, they will say what they think you want to hear.

Thankfully. believers saw throught Kerry's deception. Daschle's, too.

^5 to your daughter

One indication is their constant harping on "war talk" and using that as justification for just about anything.

We need to be very vigilant about that.

[NYer]

I've yet to hear mention of the veteran vote.

Here it comes ....

"Asked Thursday what brought Kerry down, the former Democratic National Committee chairman blamed The Swiftboat Veterans and POWs for Truth. "
Rendell Speaks... MSM Listens

[foolscap]

That sounds like something straight from DU. Those people are so paranoid.

[Liz]

Nice find.

[Liz]

Yeah, that's why it's posted.......gotta give them a little charge.....poor DUmmies are so depressed.

[R. Scott]

Yes.
The last poll results I saw had the active military voting in record numbers – with 75% for President Bush.
There is no one group that reelected the president, but as Americans we must have everything – no matter how complicated – condensed into one line 15 second sound bytes.
The religionists will claim credit, as will the active military, the veterans, the patriots, the hard core republicans, the anti-elitists, the anti-Hollywood…
In reality it was many different people with many different reasons.

JFKerry's October preacher act, spending all that time playing church, misquoting scripture becomes ever so clear to his awareness about the 'moral' issue.

This was the role that Clinton loved to play, scripture lawyer, and photo-ops with Bible in hand.

Barry Lynn is a complete lying fraud.

He has lied consistently since he first decided that he knew more about the first amendment than the very men who actually wrote it.

Where 200 years of moral tradition and legal interpretation disagreed with his narrow elitist view of the law, he simply lied about history and original intent.

He has to be one of the most practiced and cunning LIARS in the free world.

Fortunately some of us have a large collection of his strategically changing lies and he can be easily exposed for the fraud that he is.

[Liz]

The Clintons fooled a lot of people by going to church, carrying Bibles......was all an act.

[Just mythoughts]

Kinda prophetic considering Christ warned about deception and he was talking to Christians.

[Liz]

Deception.....and dividing and rumor-mongering. We'll see a lot of that. Just wait and see.

I think that what the peoplemeant was Bush was someone with Morals and you could trust what he says and know he will follow through. And Kerry was a person without Morals and you could not trust what he says.

"The religionists will claim credit, as will the active military, the veterans, the patriots, the hard core republicans, the anti-elitists, the anti-Hollywood…
In reality it was many different people with many different reasons."

There are over 25 million veterans and I suspect the vast majority voted against the filthy traitor.

I believe the average mainstream american doesn't want our country to go the way of the Roman Empire and voted appropriately. The Sodomcrats are in trouble.

This religious divide has existed for over 100 years. It shows itself in different faces. For awhile, it seemed to be confined to the church and seminaries. It then morphed itself into the issue of prayer in schools, then abortion, now the homosexual marriage issue.

Interestingly, it's not religious against non-religious. It's religious liberals on the political left and religious conservatives on the right. The current issue dividing the two may be different, but the underlying core ideas are the same.

One difference in today's landscape is that Roman Catholics used to be Democrats, by and large. However, now the conservative RCs have been driven from the left (e.g. Gov. Casey in PA) over the abortion issue and now homosexual marriage.

The political left cannot connect with the "heartland" because the source of its core values is completely different from those it will try to chase.

The religious divide existed for a very long time, but it was over religious dogma.....who believed what.

Abortion, prayer in schools, same sex marriage, are unifying religious issues.

Looks like the more radical the Left got, the more united believers became.

Too bad Lefties.
