BZZZZZZT!!!! Wrong, dumbass.

Some polls have Bush ahead, some have Kerry ahead, all are within the
margin of error.

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll. May 7-9
N=575 likely voters nationwide. MoE ± 5.
Bush 48%
Kerry 47%


There ya go. You've admitted that President George W. Bush is ahead.


Sometimes I think you strain yourself pretending to be stupider than you
are. It must not be an easy task, but somehow you manage.

Anyway, you said he was ahead in every poll. He's not. Not only that,
he's not ahead in *any* poll beyond the margin of error. But you
wouldn't understand what it means for results to be statistically
significant, would you?

Your analysis is flawed in that you assume the popular vote may
dictate the outcome of the election. :)

Excellent quote. Isn't that what the people of Iraq now have the ability to
do? I haven't seen any documentation of protesting during the Hussein
regime. The bottom line is that the Islamic extremist hate anyone or
anything not Islamic. Read the Koran and don't try and interpret what it
means. Take the words as they are and it calls for the elimination of
everything not for Allah. The Jews are the closest target and the U.S. is
the biggest target. Once they are eliminated don't you think they would
move to other targets of opportunity, Europe (already major inroads there),
Russia, China (how would the communists there will feel about that?). If
Bush wasn't there, there would still be the hatred. Sooner or later it
would be an issue that would have to be addressed via force. Does anyone
really think that 9/11 would be prevented with a different President or, at
best, only delayed? The situation is far more complex than claiming that
Bush stole the presidency. Wake up!

After John McCain -- the Senator from Arizona -- was released from
captivity as a POW in Vietnam, he was asked, "How did it feel when you
heard Americans were protesting the war?" He said, "I thought that's
what we were fighting for -- the right to protest."

I wasn't doing analysis. Just refuting an obviously false assertion.

Obviously, the outcome of the election is not dependent on the popular
vote, but rather the results of sixty races. If I was doing analysis,
I'd start by explaining why it's sixty and not 50 or 51 as most people
think. But who has the time? There's work to be done on the boat.

IMHO Horvath is actually a bolshevik who wants to drag President Bush
down by pretending to be a supporter.

By that logic, Bobspit is a John Birch Society member who wants to prop
him up by pretending to be a detractor.

Nah, I don't think so. Every village has an idiot. Some have several.

In this case it seems to be attracting them from other villages.

Subject: Worst President? Come on now!!!!!!!!!
Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2004 23:19:28 EDT

There were 39 combat related killings in Iraq during the month of
January....
in the fair city of Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of

January.
That's one American city folks, about as deadly as the entire war torn
country
of Iraq.

The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the
editor.

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They
complain
about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the
worst
President in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start

the
war on
terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did.

From
1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never
attacked
us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per

year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never
attacked
us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000

lives
were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia

never
attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three

times
by
Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.

In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has

liberated
two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear
inspectors
in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a
terrorist
who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an

average
of
30 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another

terrorist
attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on! Our President is
GREAT!

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the

Branch
Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation!

We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less

time
than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records!

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to

destroy
the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the

police
after
his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick and killed his lady friend!

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in
Florida!!!!


Shut up and sail!
Bill
