I HATE the CNN bottom feeders!
Some CNN scum just stated that John Kerry beats * in their lastest poll (you all know the one cause it's been on the board all day) 53 to 46. Then she states that since this is in the 4 point MOE (lol) it's still a dead heat. What a bunch of carp! The spin is on to undermine, smear, belittle, and humiliate whichever candidate we pick. I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready to kick media arse big time. I'll not put up with them doing to our next candidate what I saw happening to Gore.

1. you see, cnn sees that being unbelievably stupid helps fox news
so they try, with real success, to be even more stupid. CNN can blow me for how they kept showing the Iowa speech.

2. Someone needs to learn basic math
a 7-point lead is not within a 4-point MOE. But then these people have been whoring for Bush for three years. How much do you want to bet if Bush's lead was 7 points, they'd call his lead "commanding"?

5. I guess it is TECHNICALLY
because if the number is 4% lower for kerry and 4% higher for Bush, Bush beats Kerry by 1%. Of course, CNN is talking out of their ass mostly.

10. That would be an 8 percentage point margin of error
A 4-point MOE means Kerry's lead can be as narrow as 3 points or as large as 11 points.

9. CNN isn't alone
Quinnipiac has Kerry with an 8-point lead.

6. You are right. We must object every time in mass.
E-mail them. Call them. Harrass them. It is the only chance we have.

8. Kerry's lead is not 7 percent, it's 7 percentage points
and 4 percentage points is less than 7 percentage points.

12. Technically ...
MOE of 4% works out to:
53% = could be anything between 49 and 57
46% = could be anything between 42 and 50

So theoretically it could mean Bush* loses by 57-42!

13. Bush lost a statistical dead heat with a block of wood
er, I mean, the media's perception of Al Gore.

He can lose it again.

Without getting my hopes up, and not wishing any more soldiers to die, every day that goes by looks like Bush is going to have to really turn on the economy spin to save his ass.

US Armed forces are dying nearly every day.

The rest of the world, if they erally didn't before, hates the US (as represented by the chimpster).

Bush's credibility is going down the tubes with each re-definition of why we invaded Iraq.

Every day without finding WMDs is another day of proving the French right.

It doesn't look good for Bush. But watch his boost if Osama gets caught in "October".
