President Bush now leads Kerry, 44 to 41 |
More bad news for Kerry.
Just six months before Election Day, President Bush receives the support of
44 percent of voters and Kerry only 41 percent in the national poll of
registered voters conducted for Fox News by Opinion Dynamics Corporation.
Even with the continuing violence against U.S. troops in Iraq and new
evidence of Iraqi prisoner abuse, support for the decision to go to war is
unchanged from early April.
Half of Americans think going to war was the right thing for the U.S. to do,
while just over four in 10 think it was wrong.
Nothing is working for Kerry and his minions.

One day snap poll from Fauxnews. Bush should be doing a lot better.
However the 13% of undecided usually go in a big way for the challenger.
Kerry is leading among independents. Bush's ***** is grass.

Kerry 'Unfit to be Commander-in-Chief', Say Former Military Colleagues By
Marc Morano CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer May 03, 2004 (CNSNews.com) -
Hundreds of former commanders and military colleagues of presumptive
Democratic nominee John Kerry are set to declare in a signed letter that he
is "unfit to be commander-in-chief." They will do so at a press conference
in Washington on Tuesday.
"What is going to happen on Tuesday is an event that is really historical in
dimension," John O'Neill, a Vietnam veteran who served in the Navy as a PCF
(Patrol Craft Fast) boat commander, told CNSNews.com . The event, which is
expected to draw about 25 of the letter-signers, is being organized by a
newly formed group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
<http://www.swiftvets.com>.
"We have 19 of 23 officers who served with [Kerry]. We have every
commanding officer he ever had in Vietnam. They all signed a letter that
says he is unfit to be commander-in-chief," O'Neill said.
O'Neill, currently a Houston, Texas, based attorney, is no stranger to
Kerry. O'Neill served in the same naval unit as Kerry and commanded Kerry's
swift boat after Kerry returned to the United States.
Kerry's command of the PCF boat lasted four months and ended shortly after
he received his third Purple Heart. According to naval regulations at the
time, any sailor who received three Purple Hearts could request a transfer
out of the combat zone.
Kerry and O'Neill engaged in a nationally televised debate in 1971 on The
***** Cavett Show over Kerry's allegations that many Vietnam soldiers had
routinely engaged in atrocities such as raping and cutting off ears and
heads of Vietnamese soldiers and citizens. Kerry was the then spokesman for
the anti-war group Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
"We are going to be presenting a letter that deals with Kerry's unfitness to
be commander and chief that has been signed by hundreds of swift boat
sailors, including most of those who served with Kerry,"
O'Neill explained.
"The ranks of the people signing [the letter] range from admiral down to
seaman, and they run across the entire spectrum of politics, specialties,
and political feelings about the Vietnam War," he added.
Among those scheduled to attend the event at the National Press Club and
declare Kerry unfit for the role of commander-in-chief are retired Naval
Rear Admiral Roy Hoffman, who was the commander of the Navy Coastal
Surveillance Force, which included the swift boats on which Kerry served.
Also scheduled to be present at the event is Kerry's former commanding
officer, Lt. Commander Grant Hibbard. Hibbard recently questioned whether
Kerry deserved the first of his three Purple Hearts that he received in
Vietnam. Hibbard doubted both the severity of the wound and whether it
resulted from enemy fire.
"I've had thorns from a rose that were worse" than Kerry's wound for which
he received a Purple Heart, Hibbard told the Boston Globe in April.
Organizers are confident that Tuesday's event and the letter with hundreds
of signatures will educate people about Kerry.
"It is one of the largest outpourings of concern about him being
commander-in-chief that anybody could have in a presidential campaign and it
is by the people who know him best," O'Neill said.
'Unfit Commander-in-Chief' Swift Boat Veterans For Truth maintains that
Kerry's fellow Vietnam veterans are almost uniform in their disdain for his
military service and anti-war protests.
"Not only a majority of the people who served with him feel that way, but a
vast and overwhelming majority," O'Neill said. He added that more than
"ninety percent of the people contacted by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth
responded to the request to sign their name, with only 12 declining to sign.
"Comrades who actually served with him, almost all of them, are opposed to
him, and believe he would be an unfit commander in chief and intend to bring
the truth of his actual record to the attention of the American people,"
O'Neill said. > O'Neill hopes the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth can reveal
to the American people what he sees as Kerry's flawed character.
"In the military, loyalty between commanders and the troops serving them is
a two-way street. We have here a guy (Kerry) that with all of us in the
field [in Vietnam] -- actually fighting the North Vietnamese
-- came home and then falsely accused all of us of war crimes at a time when
the people in uniform couldn't even respond," O'Neill said.
"And he did that knowing that was a lie," he added.
'Real John Kerry' B. G. Burkett, author of the book Stolen Valor and a
military researcher, believes that Tuesday's event will not be dismissed
easily by Kerry's campaign as a "partisan" attack.
"There are probably just as many Democrats amongst sailors who sailed swift
boats as there are Republicans. What Kerry fails to realize is this has
nothing to do with politics -- this has to with Vietnam Veterans who served,
who have a beef with John Kerry's service, both during and after the war,"
Burkett told CNSNews.com.
"The American people do not know John Kerry and hopefully the swift boat
crews and other Vietnam veterans will make sure that the American public
knows the real John Kerry," he added.
Jim Loftus of Kerry's press office referred questions about Swift Boat
Veterans for Truth's event on Tuesday to spokesman David Wade. Wade did not
return CNSNews.com's requests for comment.

In Politics 101, what do they call an incumbent running below 50

Right - loser.

yeah, that was Fallujah, when all our soldiers started getting killed
at such a fast pace. It's been just rotten since then and hasn't
improved a bit. Good point.

If you consider polls showing he's going to win to be "not working."
In the past 7 presidential campaigns with an incumbent president, and
polls, 85 percent of the undecideds broke for the challenger.
Let's see how does that work with your poll numbers here...
Gosh, that would mean Kerry wins.
When you have a poll showing BUSH winning, give us a call.

I agree with that. I just play games with this bozo.
I looked for evidence on the predictive impact of early polls, and
found nothing one way or the other.
But I can think of some huge swings from early to late, so I agree
that we have no good reason to give any real weight to these early
polls.
Convention time - then they matter.
We have two contradictory forces, it seems to me. Jobs will be picking
up, helping Bush. But the war may just really suck. Hurting Bush.
But who knows? Maybe it will go the other way. Maybe gas prices will
go to ten dollars. Maybe bin Laden will gas Minneapolis, and what
would that mean?
I sure don't know what will happen.
That future is such a ***** to predict.

I agree it's too early to make any valid
predictions, but I see it a little different than
you. I see domestic policy hurting Bush
whether jobs pick up or not. Bush has an
advantage because he is perceived as much
more able to go after radical Muslims,
thereby defending our security.
In most elections, it's the economy that
carries the weight. I think this one will
be different.
It will be an interesting election season.

His ratings on these dimensions has been crashing downward.
With the reality of the war sinking in, I'm not sure he won't be seen
as incompetent. I have read quite a few columns by Republicans who
supported the war claiming Bush is completely incompetent to carry it
out.
Will real Republicans follow suit?

thereby defending our security.
His ratings on these dimensions has been crashing downward.
With the reality of the war sinking in, I'm not sure he won't be seen
as incompetent. I have read quite a few columns by Republicans who
supported the war claiming Bush is completely incompetent to carry it
out.
Will real Republicans follow suit?
Yes, because the alternative is Kerry.
Another alternative is to stay home.
I think the anti-Kerry vote is gaining
on the anti-Bush vote. Sad, huh?
Bush is better known. There will be gains in both the pro-kerry and
anti-kerry votes, relative to the better known Bush.
But look - events may happen.
The economy may do things.
People may catch on to the fact that we have not only lost the war in
Iraq but have blown our future role in the entire middle east, and may
hold that against President Bush.
Who knows the future?
not me.

More bad news for Kerry.
Just six months before Election Day, President Bush receives the support of
44 percent of voters and Kerry only 41 percent in the national poll
He should be at least 53 to expect to win, I guess.
Past seven times we had an incumbent President running, and took
polls, the undecided broke 85 percent to the challenger.
But it's early. Iraq could still go REALLY bad.
