Democrats: Don’t Be Girly-Men!

Share article:

A note to all you sissy Democrats out there: SNAP OUT OF IT!

Your man is essentially tied with Bush nationally, and still beating him (though slipping in the wake of the one-two punch of lying Swifties and lying Convention speakers) in the battleground states and electoral polls!

See Zogby’s latest national poll, released yesterday — and again a reminder that Zogby was the only one to get the last two Presidential elections almost exactly right — showing that Bush leads by just 2% in national polling! Well within the margin of error! He also explains why those Time, Newsweek and Gallup numbers suggesting a huge lead by Bush are largely hogwash.

Zogby also released yesterday his latest battleground numbers showing that Kerry, while slipping over the past week or two is still ahead in the all important swing states and electoral tally.

That said, yes, President AWOL did receive an expected post-convention bounce. And for about a day or two, he seemed to have “The Big Mo'”.

But with Kerry finally fighting back, and the news quickly turning against Bush in the past couple of days with yet another record deficit announced yesterday, the media (momentarily sorta) paying attention again to our War on Iraq now that over 1000 US Troops have been killed, Texans for Truth (I need there had to be some!) fighting back with their own video ads, The Boston Globe reporting that Bush did not meet his Air National Guard commitments, and 60 Minutes’ exposé on the strings Bush pulled to get into the Guard in the first place and the orders disobeyed once there, and Cheney finally leaping over the line of common decency…well, this thing is just getting lively!

So don’t make me come out there and slap you! The White House is yours if you want it! Make some noise, get to work, fight for truth, justice and an America you can be proud of again, and stop all that girly-man simpering! Bullies and liars only succeed if you let them!

    Brad, just saw the latest *World* poll. Out of 35 countries where the poll was held, all but 4 wanted Bush out of the White House.

    Sadly, I have first hand knowledge of how elections in one of those 4 countries is done (Philippines) and its NOT pretty. You want corruption, mudslinging, and underhanded tactics in politics, we are WAY behind the Philippines.

    Thanks for mentioning that, Vance! I had been meaning to run something on it since that poll came out but got sidetracked.

    The numbers are amazing. Even our ally in Iraq the UK only gave Bush 17% of the vote! In Spain, Bush got 7%!

    Perhaps I’ll pop that graphic up shortly!
