Kind of like the LA Times poll just before the California Recall, putting the recall neck to neck (47% to 50%).

Oh ok i see now. Yesterday it was a biased news source. Now I see you agree with the poles and have seen several poles all with the same results. Now you just think your going to squirm out of this by comparing it to past wars with Germany and Japan.

If you wish to have your posts taken seriously why don't you show us some of those poles taken in Germany and Japan.

Who really cared what Germany and Japan wanted. They both either attacked us or declared war on us. Not to mention the obvius threat to national and international security. Don't bother trying to bend the truth about the current war to make it seem more like our past wars. That ain't gonaa work any better than your poling issue. I know, its time to attack my personal character right??

Hmmm, which one of these wars it not like the others.... Genious?

Every rightwing thread on SI now censors opinion.
You attack the LA Times as "biased" but that is highly questionable. They have their reputation to preserve and other polls agree with theirs. But right here on SI we can see very clearly that every single rightwing thread but this one actively censoring out anyone who exposes Bush and Cheney.

So when it comes to trying to control information, the rightwing is right up there with the old Soviet Union in supressing the truth and opinion, whereas the LA Times gives all points of view. Their main cartoonist for example is the most rightwing fellow imaginable, even to the right of Bush. I have yet to find any LA Times article which has proven to be untrue and biased toward democrats. All the recent polls I've seen lately give Kerry at least a small lead over Bush.

BTW, the numbers don't add up on those GOP vs. Dem percentages. That would mean almost 50% are in neither party, which is not true. There are slightly more Dems than Repubs and this year the Dems will be the ones with the record setting turnout. Many Repubs I know are sick to death of Bush-Cheney.
