Now more than ever, TURN THAT SHIT OFF, the polls are lies, the "news"
is not news.

I don't trust any of the polls or the media, you shouldn't either.

My sister watched the debates with a few of her friends and one was a republican. Her republican friend left in disgust and said she was not voting for "that piece of shit."

The polls are lies, they are here to condition you into believing that Bush could actually win this election. He can't.


They don't mention the millions of new democratic voters and they underpoll democrats, minorities and poor people.

TURN THAT SHIT OFF!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WE HAVE LESS THAN 30 DAYS AND PEOPLE HERE ARE STILL EXPECTING THE MEDIA TO FLIP!?! WAKE THE FUCK UP! IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!! THE MEDIA WHORES WILL GET A JAIL CELL NEXT TO BUSHCO.

1. Uncle told me last night that polls here in OH
Edited on Mon Oct-04-04 03:46 PM by WLKjr
had kerry up 2 percent over bush, and it's rising.

I am telling anyone that will listen and maybe have ties to higher ups in the Kerry camp, NW Ohio is ripe for a full Democratic takeover this Nov. 2.


Kerry signs all over the place after Friday night....... and even some bush signs came down after it that were there that morning.

and if it makes anyone feel better, most of the kerry signs are out in the countryside.

3. Face it after Bu$h gets his base that only leave us 99% How can we lose?
Only if we give up. We have to GOTV and win BIG. We have to win in a landslide to convince Diebold not to TRY to steal this one.

6. Stopped watching CNN/MSRNC/FAUX before the...
debate, and don't miss it.

Atrios, DKos and DU are better sources of information.

Media junky gone cold turkey.

8. One worth watching
CSPAN talking about www.soaw.org

An Iraqi American talking the straight shit about what is going on in Iraq... speaking truth to power.

Said we cannot let anyone hijack the spirit and values of this country, whether they be in Afghanistan or the Whitehouse.... what a SMART person.

Rally against the Iraq War in D.C..... good stuff, I highly recommend it.

9. I have pretty much done this. At least with Television.
I do not watch television news. When the debates are on, I watch on C-span. I do not watch the post debate spin. I still get headlines from print media, mostly through a yahoo RSS feed of all the top stories. Other than that, I read alternet, Common Dreams, Buzzflash, Mother Jones, and the Independent media center to name a few.
