Bush Would Lose to Gore and Kerry Today
August 9, 2006

- Adults in the United States would vote differently in a rerun of the last two presidential elections, according to a poll by Scripps Howard News Service released by Ohio University. 46 per cent of respondents would support Democrat John Kerry in a repeat of the 2004 ballot, while 40 per cent would vote for Republican George W. Bush.

The survey asked Americans to ponder their options in every U.S. presidential election held since 1964. Democrat Al Gore would receive the support of 46 per cent of respondents in the 2000 rerun, while Bush would finish second with 38 per cent.

Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan remain extremely popular. The Democrat would receive 52 per cent and 56 per cent of the vote in the 1992 and 1996 races, while the Republican would win with 56 per cent and 64 per cent in the 1980 and 1984 presidential contests.

Herman and Carrot Top ticket.

15. Hear, hear!

Let us not forget that 2000 and 2004 were stolen.

4. Dubya's cheatin' heart knows, deep down, that there were mysterious

things that happened in Florida and Ohio and elsewhere to get him where he is.

Deep, down, through that unfathomably empty mind and soul, he knows he's a fake president. Fake cowboy, fake soldier, fake president, fake adult.

Gore beat him.

Kerry beat him.

And the historians are just now donning boxing gloves. And they look to me like they're in pretty good shape.

8. He Knows....And Guess What? He's Proud!

He's King, and there's nothing anyone can do about it I'd venture a guess that he'd say it was worth it to do whatever illegal BS he pulled in order to get there.

If you're not cheating, you're not trying. I'm certain that's his motto, and he's proud of what he's accomplished, even if he doesn't technically deserve it. Evil doers don't have consciences.

[saltpoint]

10. Yeah, it's a teeter-totter debate I have within myself on whether Bush

is pure will-powered evil, actively trying to shred the Constitution with his own bare hands, or a frightened little weasel who lets ethically bankrupt people like Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld run the show behind the scenes.

Either way, the administration's legacy is already festooned with lies, and the historians are going to be having a glorious field day with this president.

[corkhead]

9. He is a sociopath. you give him far too much credit imho

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. What a useless piece of information.

[Der Blaue Engel]

6. Doesn't sound like they'd vote any differently to me

Those figures sound about right for what really happened.
