Does President Bush's religious faith make him a strong leader?
Bush supporters: 85% yes
Arch liberal Kerry supporters: 15% yes
If the presidential election were held today, for whom would you vote?
Bush: 49%
Arch liberal Kerry: 48%
\_ The Reagan bump rears its ugly head. Wonder how long it will last.
Now, where are all those people that were saying polls mean nothing
at this point? Can I get a repeat, please? Or do they only
mean nothing at this point when your guy is behind?
\_ Polls mean nothing until after the GOP convention. Dukakis
had a similar lead in June, see where it got him.
\_ Reagan bump? How can reminding us of Reagan give anyone but
Kerry a bump? We all hate Reagan, don't we?
arch liberal Kerry a bump? We all hate Reagan, don't we?
\_ We all hate Reagan? Not according to the media.

\_ Kerry's basically off the radar lately. Even negative Bush news is
better than no news. Kerry's too boring and impersonal to compete.
\_ Arch liberal Kerry's basically off the radar lately. Even negative
Bush news is better than no news. Arch liberalKerry's too boring
and impersonal to compete.
\_ Bzzzt! Everything is off the radar lately because the media
went "REAGAN! REAGAN! REAGAN! OMG WTF!!!!!@#!@#2@!!11!" for
like a week. You know things are bad when NPR runs more Reagan
stories than Fox News.
\_ Kerry was out of the news before Reagan died. What has Kerry
said or done in the last 2 weeks? Bush stopped doing fund-
raisers in _APRIL_! Kerry hasn't been doing his job as
Senator. He hasn't been doing much of anything but raising
cash. Between his personal efforts and groups like http://moveon.org
Kerry has more money than Bush yet it is never enough for him.
\_ Kerry has more money than Bush? Where the fuck did you come
from? The amount of money has has pales in comparison to the
hundreds of millions that Bush has. That's why you see lots of
Bush shit commercial on TV. All he has is money. Give me a
fucking break.
\_ Yeah, Bush has 5 times as much money on hand as Kerry
presently. However, Kerry is raising money at nearly
twice the rate of Bush and just raised something like
a record $100 million in 3 months. So maybe that's
what above guy was thinking of. He's still a dumbass
though. --!the above guy
\_ MORON! ALL DEMOCRATS WANT IS TO TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY
AND SODOMIZE YOUR DOG!!!!

\_ I am sorry for being a dumbass. However, I can do
math. Kerry+moveon.org $$$ >>> Bush $$$.
\_ what about Kerry+moveon vs. Bush + his PACs?
I've seen no evidence that Kerry and related
groups have more money than Bush and related
groups. -tom
\_ Quite amusing to hear a Bush supporter complain about
how much money Kerry is rasing. Bush is the most
venal presidency in history, bar none. Kerry isn't
even close. Kerry took last week off in respect to
the country and President Reagan, that is why you
haven't heard much from him. He did not campaign
or fundraise in that time.

\_ I'm not complaining. I'm stating a fact. If he is
raising more money then he has earned it in some way.
No one is giving anyone money for nothing.
\_ Kerry said that Dubya shouldn't have asked the Pope to
influence Roman Catholic leaders in the U.S. on the abortion
\_ Earned it == awarding government contracts for it.
Your adding of "arch liberal" in front of every
mention of Kerry is simply childish.
\_ Arch liberal Kerry said that Dubya shouldn't have asked the Pope
to influence Roman Catholic leaders in the U.S. on the abortion
and same-sex marriage issues.
\_ Ok, and? You posted this for some reason?
\_ I don't believe the second survey. The 'undecided' number is never
that low.
\_ The polls are really meaningless until after the conventions, if
you ask me.
\_ Or really after a few debates. But it gives us something to
talk about in the mean time.
\_ Vietcong and Sandinista Vets for Kerry!!
\_ Vietcong and Sandinista Vets for Arch Liberal Kerry!!
\_ And Cuba and our friends in NK, too.
\_"Either you're with us or you're a godless commie" -GWB
\_ URL? The Vietcong, Sandinistas, Cubans and NKans have all
come out in favor of Kerry. thanks for playing.
come out in favor of arch liberal Kerry. thanks for
playing.
\_ Still too close to call in all the polls.
\_ Too soon, padawan. The election isn't for another 4.5 months.
Expect the ratcheting of campaign volume in early September and
full-court blitz by middle of October. Those are the numbers that
will tell the story.
\_ If you checked the URL, "Master" jedi, you would see that
only one question deals with who will win between Kerry and
Bush. The focus of the survey is on religious views between
Kerry and Bush supporters.

\_ So Bush supporters are conservative and arch liberal arch
liberal Kerry's supporters are God-less. We knew that. If
that was the only reason to post this, there was no reason to
post this. |

| moveon.org -> www.moveon.org/front/ The Movie the White House Doesn't Want You to See On Memorial Day weekend, Hollywood is releasing a summer blockbuster movie that's making the Bush administration very nervous. Because it's a disaster movie about a potential climate crisis. While "The Day After Tomorrow" is more science fiction than science fact, everyone will be talking about it -- and asking "Could it really happen?" This is an unprecedented opportunity to talk to millions of Americans about the real dangers of global warming and expose President Bush's foot-dragging on the issue. Responding to Torture Reports and photographs of Iraqi prisoners being tortured and abused by US and British troops have shocked the world. We've got to support an immediate, independent, impartial and public investigation into all allegations of torture. To be credible, the investigation should be done by an international body, including representatives of Arab nations. We've got to get to the bottom of this, and we've got to do it now. Censure Bush for Misleading Us In an attempt to evade responsibility for the misleading statements that pushed the nation into war, Bush has announced plans to form an independent inquiry to look into what went wrong. An inquiry would serve the Bush administration well: it would envelop the issue in a fog of uncertainty, deflect blame onto the intelligence services, and delay any political damage until 2005, after the upcoming election. Despite repeated warnings from the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency, President Bush and his administration hyped and distorted the threat that Iraq posed. And now that reality is setting in, the President wants to pin the blame on someone else. Congress has the power to censure the President -- to formally reprimand him for betraying the nation's trust. MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country How to Find Your Political Voice and Become a Catalyst for Change Written by MoveOn members across the country, from Hawaii to Maine, from political figures to teachers, this collection of essays shares compelling personal stories and action items with resources for taking inspiration a step further. Simple ideas are illuminated, such as "His Last Vote," about a dying man's wish to cast a ballot, as are more dynamic actions, such as "Start a Petition," which chronicles a couple's quest to protect wolves from trappers in Alaska. MoveOn's 50 Ways to Love Your Country answers the question that more and more citizens are asking: "What can I do?" Protect our Kids from Mercury Pollution Under energy industry pressure, President Bushs EPA plans to defer controls on mercury emissions by power plants for at least a decade. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 49 million women of childbearing age in the US -- that's 8 percent -- have unsafe levels of mercury in their blood. The people hit hardest will be new-born infants -- every year over 630,000 infants are born with levels of mercury in their blood so high they can cause brain damage. We have just a few weeks to get public comments to the EPA on this plan to defer mercury controls. It's time to tell the EPA and the White House that our kids come first. Al Gore Speaks on Global Warming and the Environment Beacon Theater, New York January 15, 2004, Noon In this, his third major speech sponsored by MoveOn, Mr Gore issued an indictment of the Bush administration's inaction on global warming, linking the issue to national security. He showed that global warming is not a future threat -- it is happening now. And yet, the President is choosing to help his coal- and oil-company supporters rather than advance modern technologies that can affordably solve this critical problem. Support Kerry's call to fire Rumsfeld May 7, 2004 In the wake of revelations of torture and abuse of Iraqi prisoners, John Kerry has launched an important petition calling for President Bush to fire Donald Rumsfeld. Getting rid of Secretary Rumsfeld would be a huge step forward for all of us who oppose the Bush war policy, and Kerry needs to hear our support. Help win the election this Saturday May 3, 2004 This Saturday, we're joining other grassroots groups in the largest day of voter mobilization in American history. MoveOn members will gather at parties across the country to make over 100,000 phone calls in one afternoon to swing state voters. In an election that could be won or lost with a handful of votes, we'll work to turn out every last progressive voter and send George Bush packing. |
