Post by: NUKE on August 24, 2003, 11:58:34 AM: 49% isn't "a majority of people that would not want Bush re-elected"

I just read that they did poll registered voters

Polls don't mean much really, as they can be easily manipulated .

Plus who cares?

Yep... you don't need a majority, just a plurality.

Post by: rpm on August 25, 2003, 04:23:08 PM: These polls are all lies! There are no dissatisfied citizens. The economy is in perfect condition. The infidels that dare speak against Bush will have their stomachs cut out and roast in hell.:rolleyes:

Post by: Frogm4n on August 25, 2003, 04:34:30 PM: Im sure they will start saying, " He only needed one term", after bush lose's the election badly. If its this bad already, wait till the democrats have a clear #1 guy. You have to remember, this 49 percent that will vote for anybody but bush.

LOL!!!

I polled a few members of the AH community here last week. I took the opinions of 3 random players; Yeager, Lazs, and Marlet.

From this study, Ive concluded that 100% of the AHBBS supports the idea of striking the ban on assault weapons.

Candidate Party Popular Vote Electoral
(% of total)* Votes
Abraham Lincoln Republican 1,865,593 (39.8%) 180
Stephen Douglas Democratic 1,382,713 (29.5%) 12
J.C. Breckinridge Democratic 848,356 (18.1%) 72
John Bell Constitutional Union 592,906 (12.6%) 39

The important piece of missing data was that there were four strong contenders unlike most elections last century that were basically two candidates.

Better by far to die on your feet than live on your knees.

You have it wrong, "It's better to live on your feet, then to die on your knees." I know, because I am 107 years old.:D

No MT. See, thats not funny anymore because it was already done.
Title: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear....
Post by: Ripsnort on August 26, 2003, 10:49:59 AM: Okay, maybe in my own slanted mind the word "Ever" came up...so maybe I heard it like "Lowest since the 1800's" or something like that.

I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh, nor do I take anything the BBC or the NYT has to say seriously. Opposite ends of the center are usually politically motivated.

Post by: Dowding on August 26, 2003, 10:55:22 AM: But you read and post quotes from publications that list "top 10 Muslim/Islamic States that hate us" which happened to also include India.

I always trust you to seek out examples of journalistic excellence.

"Actual Facts" and "Berkeley" should never be used in the same sentence.

Post by: Erlkonig on August 26, 2003, 08:41:18 PM: Those numbers are only gonna go up. Well, maybe they'd go down again, but Bush would have to invade another country or be asleep at the wheel during another in-country terrorist attack.
