Shining the polls for Bu$h
The easily excitable cable "news" drones are all a-twitter over a recently published Time magazine poll. This shiny new vibrating object, dangled before the pundoltery, depicts Bush with a 52% to 41% lead among "likely voters" nationwide. The poll, taken from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 can be found here:
What the pampered "journalistic" mediocrities at CNN - as well as MSNBC - do not prattle on about are two other polls taken during the same general period. ALL these polls (including the TIME poll) were taken before the conclusion of the RNC convention in New York. Nevertheless the obedient cable "news" fetch-poodles are doing their yappy best to shill the Time magazine numbers (only) as post convention results. And obvious indicators of the Bush boy's unstoppable appeal. Oh sure.
The Bush boy: whose entire strenght has always depended upon those willing to hide the entire story.
