MSNBC: Bush, GOP closing gap with Dems!

The campaigner in Chief!

But wait...the text below this picture on the link page says this:



"Change in the Air? The latest polls don’t bode well for the GOP"



I'm sure that the Republican goons that run NBC are airing "all politics week" just in time to repeat the Republican talking points 24/7 in the runup to the election.

1. Predictable bullshit...making it easier to steal and convince...
Edited on Sat Oct-28-06 11:35 PM by LaPera
What have they done to 'close the gap"?

Nothing...We have to get out the vote.

And DONATE!

26. Yes
Millions of us to DC and in the streets of our own towns and cities too. We must be heard and seen.
I already have a sign made in case the Dems don't take back at least the House - "I cry Bush-it on this election! It was stolen again."

2. "Campaigner-in-chief"?
That's just about one of the most barf-inducing headlines I've ever read.

What is with the media and their obessesion with cutesy puns? :puke:

11. Trying to repeat
2002 in exact form and style and content. Typical WH thinking. This also shows how brilliant their plans for Iran will be. Catastrophic success or failure, but catastrophe for sure.

Anyone who can't land a punch on this constantly repeated two step dancer's smug chin shouldn't be in the same ring. As for the media, they will fall down like ill-fitting trunks when it happens.

18. "The Democrats are in their last throes!"

'Wait... Wait... I feel another corner to turn... Almost there.'

I'm really tired of this song.

4. They are laying the groundwork for their "St. Diebold Miracle"
It's how "modern" elections are done these days..

The winner is "decided" ,
the polls are done to bolster that "fact",
the election is held
the winner is announced

easy as pie:(

23. yea, remember how the exit polls were changed to match the results?
I don't trust the media. I'm sure they are just doing what * wants them to (or Rove).
I think it is a lot of the media's fault. They shouldn't get by with it anymore.

Someone should remind them that his numbers are in the mid-thirties.

I say BS. the Dems will win the whole shooting match!

9. Saddam will be sentenced the day before the election. That won't
change the vote, but it will give them the excuse they need for the pre-election polls not matching the election results. Or so they hope.

10. The media has sold their souls to the gop....
It's just like every media claim of a "bounce" in the polls - false.

12. Well, the two captions don't contradict each other
The GOP will certainly lose some seats even though they may be gaining some points the last week or two

14. To Corporate Media: "don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining."
or, "can someone please politely tell the media to stop blowing its hot air up my ass? it's leaving me gassy and malcontent."

15. That right there is the set up for the steal
just wait and see..

The excuse this time will be "late polls showed GOP holing up the dam" we all know it's bullshit but with electronic voting machines with privatized elections with no federal oversight (except a nice GOP paycheck) we can't prove it. We're label conspiracy theorist.. and it's about to happen all over again. For me, this is just the excuse they'll use. In 2004 in what the "value voters" we knew 5 weeks later what hyped bullshit that was.
