I was reading pre-election polls (for example, this from Newsweek http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6370002/site/newsweek/) - I wonder if the exit polls are more accurate?

Here are the the more detailed results from your CNN link of exit polls:

No High School   49% Bush   50% Kerry
H.S. Graduate   52% Bush   47% Kerry
Some College   54% Bush   46% Kerry
College Grad   52% Bush   46% Kerry
Postgrad Study 44% Bush   55% Kerry

With all due respect, if you have no intention of backing up your claims or at least discussing them, why bother to make them?

Then I retract my comments.  I literally have so little time lately.  I am sure you have noticed my post count being dismal.  Sorry.

And another piece of evidence I have found that explicitly disproves your statement is this one by the Adult Video News:
[quote author=“AVN”]“President Bush is a fundamentalist Christian, arguably as radical in his beliefs as al Qaida is in theirs, and as such has a seriously unhealthy view of human sexuality.”

Now true I understand that this is coming from a porn magazine and their views are some of the most skewed you can get, but I still stand by my opinion that Bush is most definitly not a closet Christian.

I appreciate your reply.  You are on of few who see things similar to myself.  So I will be brief here.  Bush supports civil unions.  He is watering down the gospel by playing political correctness with these United States.

tmkt, I am not from your area.  What is Prop 71?

Nice find… from my experience it isn’t accurate but maybe things are different in Maryland. And personally, I don’t see how having completed your Masters is relevant in the case of a presidential election. Recieving a Computer Engineering Masters isn’t exactly helping you out with ethics, politics or religions. But… enough arguing about that. It’s getting boring.  (btw, i just realized by my saying ‘you’, it could be percieved like I’m talking to you. I mean you as in a general sense; a person.)

Proposition 71: Stem cell research and cures initiative
Establishes “California Institute for Regenerative Medicine” to regulate stem cell research and provide funding, through grants and loans, for such research and research facilities. Establishes constitutional right to conduct stem cell research; prohibits Institute’s funding of human reproductive cloning research. Establishes oversight committee to govern Institute. Provides General Fund loan up to $3 million for Institute’s initial administration/implementation costs. Authorizes issuance of general obligation bonds to finance Institute activities up to $3 billion subject to annual limit of $350 million. Appropriates monies from General Fund to pay for bonds.

As far as your civil unions argument: I agree that it is a wrong and morose however, to make it illegal would be voiding the rights of American citizens. It is against the Constitution.

2008 - Hillary vs. McCain!

2008 - Clinton v Giuliani

Ooh, yeah…that’s an even better one. Both will be extremely strong candidates…at least much better than these last two clowns.

Personally, I’d love to see Barack Obama run for president rather than Hillary.

Arnie is my next prez .. YAY !!!!!!!! go arnie go

Here’s some early friday humour..
Before someone else steals my thunder.

2 THINGS BUSH DID RIGHT :

* Used the media WELL.

* Was simple, no circuitous comments , just a clear, black or white stance on most things.

2 THINGS HE SHOULD DO NOW :

* NOT use religion with politics ( APPARENTLY HIS FAVORITE PHILOSOPHER IS JESUS CHRIST )

* Appoint right people for the right post in the new cabinet.

So true. And oddly enough, one of his most apparent weaknesse ended up being one of his strengths. He’s a simple guy with simple messages and he never wavered from his stance on anything. Although unpopular at times, it was easy to see where he stood on the issues and people want that from leadership.

He has put some scared american voting population, to pretty decent use in a way that it worked out for him so well. People want some drastic steps and he has taken most of them, though the execution can be questioned.
