5. YES!!!

It appears that the sleeping American public is waking up. Bush has lowered the standard of living like we've never seen before.

[Lucky Luciano]

6. Of Course

this poll is utterly unscientific and speaks more about the people who read MSNBC. Nevertheless, let us hope that the margin of victory is indeed this big!

[Pachamama]

25. Actually, I usually find the MSNBC polls to be very slanted to the Repukes

Which is what makes this poll so interesting....Stay tuned for the other major "official" polls...then again, maybe not, because we know who controls those...
:wink:

[Sterling]

55. This is like Faux having this poll.

MSNBC has more RW whores than ayone other than Faux and I am not so sure they don't have more at this point.

[mhr]

7. Voted - Good News - The Undecideds Are Finally Awake!

eom

[Mokito]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze...let this be reflective of the real vote....

[Pachamama]

9. WOW! I thought you were kidding-I just went to the link and put my vote

...in for Kerry....Wow - Wouldn't it be great if all the polls, Zogby, Time/CNN, Harris etc. all started having similar results...

Pass that link to people you know....

Wow...I might actually sleep tonite...

[burrowowl]

10. In this poll

Are the sheeple waking up!?

11. Americans Are Sick Of Bush Lies

He sent our kids off to war against a third world nation of no threat to us. I think we our now seeing the outrage of his actions.

[ngGale]

[SoulDiva]

18. Fingers Crossed

I thought I cried hard when he was elected the first time, I couldn't even imagine what would happen the second time. Can I sue for emotional distress??? :mad:

[Pachamama]

28. I cried too...

...I'm not even going to imagine him being "selected" a second time...but I think your on to something with the sueing thing...then again, maybe that explains why this administration has been supporting limits placed on damages?

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. Hey SoulDiva.....

Welcome Aboard :hi:

[Lucky Luciano]

20. Unscientific polls mean nothing

Folks, I am with you, but don't get worked up over such a meaningless poll!!! Anyone with a mild statistics background can tell you that this poll is heavily biased. It only reflects the feeling of the readers of MSNBC that chose to respond.

I hope Bush gets beaten worse than this poll though...

[Pachamama]

26. True, but MSNBC Polls tend to usually be slanted the other way...

...so that is what makes this so interesting....

[Skittles]

36. um..................Lucky

we are not freepers; we are not f***ing STUPID.

[Lucky Luciano]

50. I know people here are not stupid,

but why are people even looking at this poll?

[Skittles]

54. gee Lucky, whatever do you mean but "people here" ?

Aren't you one of us?

[Lucky Luciano]

56. ummm...

I have only been here a few days.

I am indeed one of you....I despise bush. As my profile says, however, I am not as liberal as most people here - I am not pulling any punches. However, I am dedicated to seeing bush leave the office. He is fubarring this country.

[Skittles]

58. well OK then

I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I'd vote for a rotting rat carcass over Bush. And dammit if he was a Democrat I would feel the same way.

[Lucky Luciano]

59. Thanks for the benefit

In the meantime send your thoughts to Zell in Georgia.


I will tell you one poll that needs to be taken - and I am very serious here. Although the credibility of a poll from this site would be deemed questionable from "the other side," on election day it would be really cool to mobilize a lot of DUers to take exit polls near polling stations and compare the results to the result of the election. I would hope the DUers would be honest regardless of their distaste for bush!!!! In particular, this should be done near those polling places that creepo diebold systems has their potentially fraudulent software installed. Any large statistical disparity should warrant great concern. The question in the event of an apparent bush coup would be - what next? Would there be any way to invalidate a fraudulent election? preparations for a bush coup need to be done now because peeople were not ready for it during his first coup.

Maybe I should start a new thread on this.

[Skittles]

61. those are good ideas, Lucky

alas, I fear the GOP will have their gestapo out in DROVES this electon - there is no way these thieving bastards will give up without a fight.

[TheWatcher]

37. Nice Profile Lucky

The word "obvious " comes to mind.

Nice Try though.

[Lucky Luciano]

51. no

it is just that I never heard of DU until the Freepers told me, "Go back to DU you commie pinko traitor." I am fairly new to political message boards, so I may not have gotten the etiquette down yet.

Here are some (not all) of my posts over there under a couple of different names:

17. Still more work needs to be done

The media need to awaken and educate the moderate and independent voters

I still hear stupid comments like "We should rather fight the terrorists in Iraq than in NY or Washingon" or "Have you forgotten the WTC already when you make a big deal of the prisoner abuse?"

It is astonishing that many people still think that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, that it is full of terrorists and that Dubya is showing strong leadership against opposition by the "libs" against the perpetrators of 9/11.

[soggy]

22. when you hear people say this, do what i do...

point and laugh

they obviously aren't terribly informed, and are regurgitating some right wing talking points they heard 2 years ago. it's our job to enlighten them, however you see fit. i, personally, find humiliation to be highly effective.

maybe i should've been in MI...

[Lucky Luciano]

34. Actually I disagree

While I want to laugh at someone for being so utterly stupid, I find I come across as more credible when I remain cool, calm, collected, and state the facts. Then if they throw a fit they lose. Always stay cool and display minimal emotion. Works for my negotiations.

[calimary]

49. There are numerous threads here in which you'll find such advice.

People do note that when they're as dispassionate as possible and offer only the facts (and just a few, not a deluge), you might make somebody angry, but they're not as likely to take it personally. That way you may tick them off but you may also have scratched an itch. A few have also added that the person who was annoyed with them one day would come back asking questions and seeking info the next.

But there are obviously MANY approaches available for MANY people. the important thing is to exercise at least one of them. The only truly wrong and 100% effective approach is to do nothing.

19. wanna bet this gets freeped?

and if not...will it get reported??

Funny; one of the articles cited below is headlined "White House derby-call it a tie" I don't think so!

[Pachamama]

29. Hmmm...MSNBC seems to have taken the "Vote" off the page...

Looks like the Repuke Censors and Rove Patrol are busy again...

[OneTwentyoNine]

52. Its still there,sets a cookie if you vote...

If you've voted it will just show results. While you can still vote multiple times this at least makes it somewhat more accurate.

I believe that it gets refreshed every now and then, but I am always pleasantly surprised to see it running 2-1 in Kerry's favor.
