Chris Mathews says Bush could be back to 50% by election day...

[kentuck]

and he would not have to worry about losing the House?? Bush is not on the ballot and last I checked the Congress was polling lower than Bush? Is it a given that the Congress' polls will go up if Bush's poll go up? I don't see that one necessarily follows the other? Am I missing something?

[Hamlette]

1. Congress ALWAYS polls low, don't count on those numbers. n/t

[blue cat]

2. That's because he knows that

they have paid the pollsters, and diebold is ready to steal the election.

[havocmom]

8. Hell, the pollsters are using machines to call people

The numbers can say anything, just like the vapor ballots.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. That's Tweety.

Every now and then he lets out his man-love for Bush and says stupid shit like that. You aren't missing anything.

[Jeanette in FL]

15. As he fondles his private parts

Sorry to be so crude, but that was the first vision that came to mind.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. That thought seriously creeped me out.

But you're probably right. Tweets drools over Bushler while playing pocket pool. Eww.

[Art_from_Ark]

34. He was all over himself when talking about bu$h in the flight suit

"... Bush looked good in that flight suit. Damn good. Very masculine, if you know what I mean. I mean, is there a Democratic candidate who would look that manly? I think that may be a rhetorical question."

22. Great military name - "Private Parts reporting for duty, sir!"

[WCGreen]

4. The only reason Bush is bumped now is because it is

coming closer to an election and his base is coming home...

[Missy M]

5. I guess Chris Matthews has a crystal ball to be able to...

make this prediction. Why do we bother to have elections when Chris Matthews can tell us what the outcome will be before it happens.

[stepnw1f]

6. Here They Go Again....

More bullshit spin from our fascist corporate media right before an election.

[Imagevision]

7. Most like;y, Bush will be back in the low 30's before election day

[orpupilofnature57]

9. With you ,the Evil Elf russet ,helping whilst acting confrontational

Karl has given you all the template.Hopefully shortly after elections he'll be impeached.

[Skidmore]

10. Wonder if Tweety's wife cares that he's

so enamored of Little Boots. Come on, now. You know there's gotta be some tension that marriage with all the competition. I mean, Tweety doesn't even bother to hide it.

[katty]

11. really? in what universe? today his loyal GOP dogs rejected

his '(anti)terror-plan' - smells like mutiny.

[gademocrat7]

12. Tweety is imbibing heavily on kool aid.

He is addicted to shrub and company.

[acmavm]

13. Certainly no one expects the truth, do they?

[Botany]

14. The Elections are no longer about the vote

but the hard work is in rigging the system, paying the media,
and creating a plausible story that explains the outcome.

In Ohio 04 it was that the repugs were:
* better organized
* energized their base more
* and "they" won it in the exurbs

bush was 32% and in some polls he even hit 29% now he is at
43%? please! Has Iraq gone better? Has the Gulf South
been fixed up? Are people happier with being spied on?

FORD TODAY IS BUYING OFF 75,000 WORKERS FROM THEIR JOBS.

Some of the spin & b.s. is not unlike the old communist countries
"stuff" for their "great leader."


http://www.surveyusa.com/50State2006/50StateBushApproval060815Approval.htm

only 4 states have * @ 50% or above approval

[LostInAnomie]

16. Sept. 11 bounce.

Happens every year from about the week before to the week after. They know it always happens, and they act surprised every year.

[AX10]

18. Unless the GOP is paying off the pollsters, that will NOT happen.

What has improved? Iraq is still a disaster. The Taliban has regained strength in Afganastan. Wages are stagnant. Ford is laying off thousands of employees. The real estate market (which has been propping the economy up is about to take a nosedive. The economy (such as it is) is slowing down.

The so called shift in the polls has to do with the 9/11 anneversary.

[otohara]

19. Media Cheerleader Cheers on Former Cheerleader

Bush!!

[lonestarnot]

20. Only in tweety's wet dreams.

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. If the MSM would only cover the mess in Iraq they won't get there.

[stevedeshazer]

23. This is the same panderer who said that,

"the enemies we have around the world" would welcome Democrats regaining control of the House of Representatives or Senate in November because they could portray it as "Bush hanging by a thread in his own government."

Link with video here: http://mediamatters.org/items/200609080006

NO credibility.

This is just his way of trying to keep his job as a propagandist.

Pay no attention to the man, he is a pandering fool.

[infogirl]

24. they always say that by election day...it is 50% then they flip the vote!

they lie and say it is close...then flip the vote...we have all the electronic voting machines...so they will say...oh...it is 50 50 repubs won by a hair....! when it was NEVER close...wake up people...

remember this just came out...
The owner of DataUSA Inc., a company that conducted political polls for the campaigns of President Bush, Sen. Joe Lieberman and other candidates, pleaded guilty to fraud for making up survey and poll results.

Tracy Costin pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Costin, 46, faces a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 when she is sentenced Nov. 30.

(snip)

FBI Special Agent Jeff Rovelli said 50 percent of information compiled by DataUSA and transmitted to Bush's campaign was falsified, the Connecticut Post reported Thursday.

[sendero]

25. Matthews says all kinds of shit.

.... doesn't mean a thing, other than he wants to see commander codpiece strut again so he can wank in the corner.

[Justice Is Comin]

26. I saw Rasmussen had the phlegm in chief at 39%..

And it's nowhere even near that. Dogs sniff each others ass. republicans do the same thing.

[Cha]

27. bush could poll at 29%, too..more

time for Americans to find out what a shitheel he is.

[Generic Brad]

28. Cheaters always win

But only if they cheat. This propaganda is just step one in stealing the midterms.

[BrotherBuzz]

29. Chris Mathews uses a Magic 8-Ball® on loan from Rove

[hatrack]

30. It's Chris Matthews - who gives a shit?

If Chris Matthews told me the sun rose in the east, I'd get up early with a compass.

If Chris Matthews told me that January in Winnipeg is cold, I'd head up there with a parka, swim trunks and a thermometer.

If Chris Matthews was standing on the sidewalk with his clothes on fire, I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on him.

Who gives a shit what this overpaid blow-dried clown says, or thinks, or writes, or eats, or exudes?

Who cares?

[TayTay]

31. He is over-stating the effect of the gas price reduction.

And the bump from the Sept 11 commemoration events. It will fade.

However, it won't stay at 35% either. It will probably go back and forth between 38 - 42% between now and election day.

[aquaman]

32. Matthews once again proves that he smokes a lot of Crack......

Surely he must be on drugs.

[Jade Fox]

33. Sure. All he has to do is go back in time.....

three and a half years and not do the Iraq Invasion thing.

Matthews. Why oh why does this guy rate national media air time?

[Mr_Spock]

35. I wouldn't worry too much about one comment from some dumb pundit

Will he say "I was wrong" in 2 months? Doubt it.

[CarlVK]

36. I can't figure that Tweety Asshole out.

One day he's got them by the throat, the next he's licking their balls. What is this, a tepid romance or something?

[LaPera]

37. Don't be fooled, the bullshit polls are being manipulated to convince us

that gas prices & everything Bush says and does...is making Bush rise in the polls...It's bullshit! Rove & Co. will keep manipulating certain polls (Fox, etc.) so they can get Bush at 50% by election time...so they can say people decided to trust Bush & the republicans to protect them....after stealing needed election races around the country, with their Diebold electronic voting machines...First though, manipulating the polls is essential...and they are doing it now!

If they can convince you the bullshit polls are correct and a republican candidate is closer than they actually are...then it's easy to rig the voting machines and get away with it...because the polls said it was close, so no questions asked...this bullshit will be happening all over the country on election day...they are just setting themselves up now with the bullshit "polls" to steal what they need...

It so obvious, it's so Rove and you know they were going to do this shit...They are evil & wicked and will cheat & lie and use every illegal way and resource to hold onto the republican majority to keep their fascism alive...They surely aren't going to play fair...or they'd lose...you know all this!

[Telly Savalas]

38. Well I say Bush will be up to 80% in 2 weeks.

Can I have a TV show too?
