Here is the email I just tossed off to them:
Dear Fox people,
Up until recently FOX is the only TV news I watch, outside of CSPAN. The others have been too biased to the left for years. But it looks as though you are joining the ranks of the vast left wing conspiracy.
Do you want to follow CBS and ABC into obscurity and shame?
Bring back the fair and balanced. Quit pandering to the leftist Democrats. Those who aren't leftist Moore worshippers (and our number is large) are going to quit watching if you don't regain some semblence of balance.
Thank you,
name
Wow! There was nothing but good news from your link. Thanks!
And he actually said in the debate:
"Between the World Trade Center bombing in, what was it, 1993 or so, and the next time was five years, seven years.
WHAT??? He's not SURE when the first WTC bombing was?? "what was it, 1993 or so" ????? And he has the gall to call September 11th "and the next time" ?? What, he doesn't know when September 11th occurred either???
And HE CAN'T EVEN FREAKIN' DO MATH ???? (Pssst. Hey Kerry, Sept. 2001 - Feb. 1993 = about 8.5 years, you DOLT !!)
I'm pretty sure President Bush could tell you the exact DATE and TIME and ALL OF THE PERPETRATORS in the first WTC bombing. I know I can! (Feb. 26, 1993, Ramzi Yousef, Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, etc.)
Who would want a Commander in Chief running the Global War on Terror, who DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHEN WE WERE ATTACKED ON OUR OWN SOIL ??? What the hell was Kerry doing in 1993 that he MISSED IT ??
I wonder if he even knows the date of September 11, 2001. Kinda like the question "Who's buried in Grant's tomb? If only one of the questions at the next debate would be: "Senator Kerry, when was September 11, 2001?" LOL
And if he can't even figure out how many years there are between 1993 and 2001, I sure don't want him in charge of our BUDGET !!! Holy crap.
Zogby has Kerry 46 to 45 in his tracking poll. Is Rass numbers from his tracking poll?
Yes
Kerry has peaked. It down hill for him from here.
I agree. If you look at all the polls for the last two months, it seems like it's one candidate going up or down rather than a mutual up and down.
Kery picked up some support after Bush's loss at the first debate, with Bush staying steady in his numbers, especially his internals.
I see Kerry's support as soft, based on his internals. Even when he picked up a few points, he's still awful in poll questions on leadership, unfavorability, and resoluteness.
Ditto. This is such a good analysis I figured it need to be posted 2xs.
Nearly all of the polling was done BEFORE the debate.
Which means the 1st Post Debate bounce for Bush was HUGE.
jobs report,
Yeah, 96,000 new jobs wouldn't of been such a downer if the White House Economic Advisiors had not out spewing forth all this 334,000 new jobs spin last Monday. Somebody in the White House should lose their job for that. 100,000 jobs is right on the money for a normal economy and is actually GOOD news but because of all the Hype, it is being spun as "bad" news.
can hope. With Zogby at a 1 pt lead for kerry, this could be an outlier and Zogby is at low end of margin and Rass at high. Still leaves Bush with 2 pt lead
Zogby has a 1 point lead for Bush.

We're doomed.. I do have a question was there the usual doom and gloomers here last night??
No, it was surprising how quite it was around here. I wonder why? Guess the DNC staffers, and the Moveon.org kiddes, don't work Friday Nights.
Tonight on the Beltway Boys, Fred said he finally realizes Bush won the debate. LOL.
It's amazing how a shift in a few numbers can affect people's response to Rasmussen polls. Just a few days ago, people were saying Rasmussen polls can't be trusted. I decided months ago to stop following polls, it's just an emotional roller coaster.
You did? Hmm I must missed that. But you have a good point. Usually in the Tracking polls you see a reflectiong of the "news cycle" bad news for bush, Kerry's numbers go up. But what is intresting THIS time is that Bush's number went up DESPITE the desperate attempts by the Left to hyperventalate about the 1st Debate, the Iraq Report and the Job numbers. Bush had a bad news week and sTILL went up to higher then he has been in the poll so far.
Yes, you are smart to diss the polls. But ask yourself this, why does the DNC put so much time and resources in trying to fix the on line and snap polls?
Because good news fires up the base and depresses the opposition. So every time we see a good news poll we have to scream it from the roof tops to undo all the damage the fraulent polls do.
The spirits around here have changed quite a bit since last Saturday. I know I feel good. Now I want to see Bush pummel this lousy SOB for the next 24 days!
Yep, I was starting to lose my temper from all the "OH MY GOD, THE SKY IS FALLING" hysteria. I kept thinking to myself, if they panic like this over media spin, what is the Right going to do if things REALLY get tough some day?
Some Freepers do not understand why we scream the good news from the Roof Tops. Because if we don't you will get drowned out by those who scream the bad news here.
Waiting for Gallup et al to catch up with Ram.
Keep in mind you want the Gallup number not the Gallup/CNN poll which is conducted differently
Rasmussen faces the same reality that Newsweek did.
FYI, Rasmussen conducts the poll the same way every day. These numbers would of been in BEFORE the debate so none of these numbers reflect the 2nd Debate. Therefore, Today's number is where Bush was at when they stopped polling Friday. Tomorrow's number will be the first post debate numbers. Unlike the "snap polls" the Media conducts after a debate, Rass numbers are polled the same way every day
"That's why it's so important that we get the word out about W's incredible performance. Letters to the editor anyone?"
Copy of my letter
To the Editors,
During Friday Night's debate, Senator Kerry kept repeating the phrase "I have a plan". What I did not hear from the Senator is WHAT the plan is. I went to his website and found the same thing. Lots of promises OF a plan very little on what the plans ARE. In an election as crucial to our future as this one, the News Media needs to do a better job of telling the American people what the PLAN is, not just what a Candidate SAYS. The American People need to have this questions answered before they will trust Senator Kerry with the Presidency.
Every woman I know LOVES his swagger!
He actually said, "And looking around here, at this group here, I suspect there are only three people here who are going to be affected..."
What an elitist pr1ck!
I wish Bush has said "Show of hands, who here has Kids"? "Well see Senator, my plan helped all them too so I see you are wrong on Taxes too.
