Prove it. Find one "lie" of Moore's. When you find it, you can go to him and collect $10,000. No takers so far. Also, go see the film before you criticize something you dont even know about. it's a great film for Republicans too. very patriotic. It even criticizes Democrats.

Majority of Americans (54%) Dissatisfied With the Way Things are Going in U.S NEW YORK, July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- With the announcement this week that Sen. John Kerry has chosen Sen. John Edwards as his vice presidential candidate, the latest Newsweek Poll shows that a Kerry/Edwards ticket would get 51 percent of the vote versus 45 percent for the incumbent Bush/Cheney ticket. That marks a five-point bump for Edwards from the last Newsweek Poll (May 13-14). However, in a three-way trial heat, with Independent Party candidate Ralph Nader, Kerry/Edwards leads with 47 percent, Bush/Cheney follows with 44 percent and Nader garners 3 percent of the vote. Even though the majority of registered voters (51%) think John Edwards is qualified to step in as president if he had to (30% say he is not), 69 percent of Americans says Kerry's pick of the North Carolina Senator makes no difference in their vote. Only 21 percent say it makes them more likely to vote for the Kerry/Edwards ticket and eight percent say it makes them less likely to do so. Still more people (52%) have a favorable opinion of Edwards than they do of Vice President Dick Cheney (46%). Seventy-seven percent of voters say Edwards is personally likeable; 60 percent say he is honest and ethical; 58 percent say he cares about people like them; 54 percent say he is believable when it comes to having the facts straight; and 53 percent say he has strong leadership qualities. In contrast, only 49 percent think Dick Cheney is personally likeable; 48 percent think he is honest and ethical; 40 percent think he cares about people like them; 47 percent say he is believable when it comes to having the facts straight. But a 63-percent majority believes Cheney has strong leadership qualities. Meanwhile, with more Americans (54%) dissatisfied with the way things are going in the U.S. at this time than satisfied (40%), President George W. Bush's job approval rating climbs to 48 percent (46% disapprove), which marks a six-point increase from the Newsweek Poll two months ago. While the majority of voters (52%) say they do not want to see him re-elected for a second term (43% do), more people (47%) think Bush will win the election in November over Sen. Kerry (38%). This poll is part of the July 19 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, July 12). For this Newsweek Poll, Princeton Survey Research Associates International interviewed 1,001 adults aged 18 and older on July 8-9, 2004. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points.
