No Bump For Kerry. What Pure Unadulterated Crap!

[Solomon]

Watch after the republican convention as Bush gets a whopping bounce.

This will explain the theft of votes in November. The fix is in.

1. I heard Wolf Blitzer say that

instead of a bounce, Kerry got a thud. I left the room and came to DU. What a heap of bullshit!

[renegade000]

4. CNN

with perhaps the exception of lou dobbs and a few others, has officially become the Conservative News Network...

ironic how some on the right consider it the "communist news network" heh...that just makes me laugh.

[blm]

7. Blitzer is using ONE poll - THEIRS, of likely voters.

Likely voters translates to - Have you voted every election for the last 20 years? It always skews Republican.

If someone is a newly registered or an infrequent voter they ELIMINATE your vote. This automatically negates the effect of the newly awakened post 9-11 electorate.

2. REALLY! I know I got Goose Bumps all over

during the convention!!

[chookie]

3. Damned right, Sol!

The Convention was a success. Kerry performed magnificently and scored.

But we're not supposed to know that. So The Wise Grown Ups are going to tell us that we were mistaken about those goosebumps we got, and how inspired we were by Kerry's speech -- and that we foolish children should know that there is NO HOPE that Kerry could POSSIBLY win against this popular War Time President who has the unanimous support of the American people, so you might as well not bother to get worked up.

The *fact* that His Chimperial Highness will ALSO not get a bounce -- even if and when terrorr strikes the US again, or after the October Surprise, simply because most people have already made up their minds already -- well, never mind.

A bounce of 5 points is NOTHING when Kerry gets it. But watch -- come September they will tell us that a 5 point bounce is indisputable evidence that Bush is going to go on to a glorious victory in November!!

They're telling us what they want us to think. If we think differently, it is only because we are mistaken, not that they are wrong. Right?

5. Bush-Cheney Campaign Headquarters: What They Don't Want You To Know

Bush-Cheney Campaign Headquarters:
What They Don't Want You To Know

by

JULY 27, 2004: 1000 PDT (FTW) -- Amid a towering cluster of office buildings in northern Virginia stands a 10-story red brick and glass edifice. One of many new office buildings rising along Arlington County's growing Rosslyn-Ballston business corridor, the structure nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac at 2107 Wilson Boulevard has a special mission this year: to ensure that the Bush-Cheney administration is guaranteed another term in office.

One of three buildings in the Colonial Place office complex, Bush-Cheney headquarters has some special features that its two neighboring buildings lack: 360 degree pan and zoom cameras that resemble street lamps and roving private security guards. The reasons for the added security are quite understandable: working at the building full time are Bush-Cheney campaign chairman Marc Racicot; Ken Mehlman, Bush-Cheney '04 campaign manager and former White House assistant to presidential counselor Karl Rove; and a host of other GOP politicos who share the building. Common sights in the driveway are the parked black SUVs and sedans, drivers always waiting at the wheel. Sporting U.S. government license plates and darkened windows, the vehicles are a sign that 2107 Wilson receives a number of high-level government officials along with their Secret Service security details.

Absent from the building are any campaign banners or signage indicating that this is the central hub of the national Bush-Cheney campaign. But there are telltale signs that a political campaign is being waged here. Above the maze of cubicles are televisions tuned into CNN (apparently even the Bush-Cheney campaign doesn't put much faith in Fox News and its politically biased, sensationalistic reports). Tacked to the occasional cubicle is a Bush-Cheney '04 bumper sticker or sign.

Yet the Bush-Cheney operation, with all of its security cameras and guards, does not fully appreciate the importance of operational security. While recently walking past the building on a well-traveled pedestrian sidewalk that leads to the Court House Metro station, I noticed that on the first floor, in clear view of anyone who wanted to look, were two 25-inch plasma computer screens. Both had color-coded maps of the United States. Stopping to marvel at the data being represented on the screens, I realized that one of the screens represented GOP tracking polls. In many cases, such internal political party polls - which are always highly classified - represent truer numbers than what is being reported by the national media organizations.

6. No Bounce for Butch either

The election is over. Most people have made up their minds and what the polls show (Kerry by about 5 points) will be the results in November. Get ready for President Kerry!
