I think you might be insulting the intelligence of a brilliant man. Maybe.

You gotta see this (Since I am hungry, I am awarding myself the Burger King Whopper of the Day award for this one). AS finally has revealed the source for the infamous Army poll that shows "Kerry-Clark" beating Bush: AS: OK, BS artist, here's your Army Poll. Sorry I was wrong about Sharpton beating Dean and a few of the exact numbers. Combine Clark and Kerry's score you they beat Bush handily. PS: This poll was before the chopper got shot down. <excerpt from "poll"> If you were going to vote for president right now, which candidate would you support: armytimes.com Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun 0.28 % (12) Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) 39.42 % (1,677) Gov. Howard Dean 7.26 % (309) Sen. John Edwards 0.33 % (14) Rep. Dick Gephardt 2.49 % (106) Sen. John Kerry 16.97 % (722) Rep. Dennis Kucinich 0.24 % (10) Sen. Joe Lieberman 0.75 % (32) Rev. Al Sharpton 1.53 % (65) President George W. Bush 30.72 % (1,307) Total votes: 4254 Message 19469952 Notice how the "total votes" in the "poll" are 4,254? Well, go to that site now. It seems the "poll" of "Army voters" is ongoing, and the numbers are a bit different now, as my response post indicates. And better yet, you and I and anyone on the Net can vote. It's not a "poll" of "Army voters" at all, it's just a Web site with a button you can push. As many times as you want. And ten times as many people have voted now as had when AS got his numbers. With 40,000+ votes counted, not including hanging chads, Clark is at 22 percent and Kerry below 4 percent. There is no Kerry-Clark combo ticket in the poll. Bush is at 33 percent. Kucinich (!) is at 15 percent. What a joke. Here is the response post: OMD:The updated (current) numbers are: Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun 1.95 % (783) Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) 21.82 % (8,761) Gov. Howard Dean 11.80 % (4,738) Sen. John Edwards 9.10 % (3,655) Rep. Dick Gephardt 0.64 % (258) Sen. John Kerry 3.89 % (1,563) Rep. Dennis Kucinich 15.88 % (6,376) Sen. Joe Lieberman 0.66 % (264) Rev. Al Sharpton 1.22 % (491) President George W. Bush 33.02 % (13,255) Total votes: 40144 armytimes.com Oh wait, I forgot to vote. Hang on a second.... OK, I voted. Now the current results read: Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun 1.95 % (783) Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) 21.82 % (8,761) Gov. Howard Dean 11.80 % (4,738) Sen. John Edwards 9.10 % (3,655) Rep. Dick Gephardt 0.64 % (258) Sen. John Kerry 3.89 % (1,563) Rep. Dennis Kucinich 15.88 % (6,376) Sen. Joe Lieberman 0.66 % (264) Rev. Al Sharpton 1.22 % (491) President George W. Bush 33.02 % (13,256) Total votes: 40145 No kidding. You can try it yourself. Just like any Web site "poll", anybody can click in and vote. I was never in the Army. I was never in the military. There was no draft when I was of that age, and I didn't sign up. And yet, there's my vote, displayed as an "Army" voter. I said when I cited the poll that it was "unscientific." It's actually worse than that. It's completely bogus. But if you insist on citing it, you might notice that Mr. Kerry's current vote totals are down to 3.89%. And if I vote a few more times maybe I can get that down to 3.88%. As a man of a 150 IQ, surely you must realize that the "poll" you have spent numerous posts citing is utter and complete nonsense.
