They, too, are Internet-linked. They are better informed than most people, they are committed, and they are articulate.

Not to mention, we're pissed!! :-D

62 MILLION voted for Bush in 2004. We did not go away.

FAKE POLLS do not translate into real voters.

These polls:
01) Oversample Democrats by 10 to 12 points

02) Undersample Republicans by 2 to 3 points.

03) Undersample Independents by 8 to 10 points.

04) In 2004, we voted 37(D)-37(R)-26(I)

05) In 2004, Support for Bush and the war was 20%(D)-90%(R)-40%(I)

06) The percentage support has not change, the sample has.

07) Example: AP Poll 49(D)-37(R)-14(I) - This is not who votes.

08) These polls are of 'national adults', not 'likely voters'

09) Add 2-3 points positive for Bush in a likely voter sample.

10) 45% of 'national adults' did not vote in 2004.

11) 55% of 'national adults' did not vote in 2002.

Summary: Polls that Oversample Democrats, Undersample Republicans and Independents, Poll 'national adults' (55% of whom will not vote in 2006) are FAKE POLLS. They are designed to pacify ever dwindling liberal audiences and to discouraged conservatives.

Example: Scott Rasmussen got the 2004 election right. In recent days he has Bush's Approval between 46% and 48%, so let's say 47% to be fair. He adds that it's of 'national adults' so add 2 to 3 points for a likely voter sample. Meaning Bush's real job approval among 'likely voters' is 49% to 50%. He got 50.8% in 2004.

That's the reality of 62 MILLION voters who did not go away or change their mind.

I made the same arguments to liberals in 2002 and more so in 2004.

FAKE POLLS DO NOT TRANSLATE INTO REAL VOTERS.
