You are lying again. Bush still* holds a double-digit lead over Kerry on the war in Iraq and fighting terrorism.* Focus on War, Terror Propels Bush in Polls Monday, April 19, 2004 Associated Press WASHINGTON — As worries about the Iraq war (search) and terrorism have pushed ahead of the economy among the public's priorities, President Bush has edged ahead of Democratic challenger John Kerry (search), national polls suggest. The ABC-Washington Post and CNN-USA Today-Gallup polls, both released Monday, showed Bush with a slight lead over Kerry in a three-way matchup with independent Ralph Nader Bush was up 48-43 over Kerry among registered voters, with Nader at 6 percent in the ABC-Post poll. In the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll, Bush was ahead 50-44 among likely voters, with Nader at 4 percent. Over the past few weeks, Bush has wiped out Kerry's advantage on all domestic issues except health care insurance, where Kerry still holds a small lead, the ABC-Post poll found. Bush still holds a double-digit lead over Kerry on the war in Iraq and fighting terrorism. Bush and Kerry are now even on who people would trust to handle the economy, at 47 percent apiece. In early March, Kerry had a 12-point lead on that issue. Four in five in the ABC-Post poll said Bush takes a position and sticks to it. Half that many said the same about Kerry. More said Bush was honest and trustworthy, 55 percent, than said that about Kerry, 49 percent. The ABC-Post poll of 1,201 adults, including 1,024 registered voters, was taken April 15-18; the Gallup poll of 1,003 adults, including 767 likely voters, was taken April 16-18. Both have margins of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Kerry Can't Pronounce His Wife's Name Tuesday, April 20, 2004 LAKE WORTH, Fla. – President Bush gets plenty of guff for his inability to pronounce such simple words as "nuclear” (note to aides: it’s not "nook-yoo-lur”), but at least he can properly state his wife’s name. If only John Kerry could make the same claim. During Kerry’s campaign appearance yesterday in infamous Pea Brain County, ground zero for Al Gore’s failed coup attempt in 2000, one condo commando asked the candidate where the missus was. He used the normal American pronunciation ("Ter-EE-suh”), and so did Kerry in replying that she was up in Daytona Beach, though he warned that we’d be seeing more of her. Problem is, as ace columnist Michelle Malkin noted in the March issue of NewsMax Magazine, the Massachusetts Democrat’s highfalutin foreign-born wife calls herself "Teh-RAY-zah.” The Eurotrash pronunciation is no doubt part of the ketchup queen’s inability to identify with all things American, even her hubby. As the would-be first lady groused last week to the New York Post’s Cindy Adams: "I can’t believe my family left Africa and came to this country. I can’t believe I ever even married an American." We’ll leave it up to John and Teresa/Teh-RAY-zah to work out the proper name for her, though our readers have already e-mailed in plenty of suggestions.
