NBC Poll...Troubling

I'm not one you follows polls but this particular poll bothers me deeply..

Troubling signs for Bush, too

But Bush has some troubling signs of his own. Even though the president has a slight lead in this poll, when voters were asked what they would want in a second term for Bush, 58 percent say they want major changes, compared with only 9 percent who say they want his second term to look a lot like his first term. "Look, he has to prove that he will pivot" in a second term, said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart. Yet McInturff, the GOP pollster, added that this is something Bush can accomplish at the upcoming debates.

So do these voters really think Bush will change any of his

"Stay the Course stratagy???" He could careless what the "voters" want....If people want change then they better put someone else in the office of US President because this man has made it perfectly clear he will change NOTHING. I do not understand half of the voting public in this country...How out of touch are they????

Unfortunately, they think the same thing about us.

The first key to wisdom is constant and frequent questioning, for by doubting we are led to question and by questioning we arrive at the truth.  -

>"58 percent say they want major changes"<


Wish the poll was more specific about what those changes might be. Bush reverses on things to do with popularity, was against 9/11 commission, but doesn't change on goals such as SS, taxes. If people think/wish major changes

<< If people think/wish major changes would occur under Bush, they're whistling in the wind, IMO.>>

Well, my biggest worry is that after Bush is elected he will do just what he wants to do and that won't be good for the US. Given his Orwellian languange who knows what he will do. Half of America are suckers! I fear we will rue 11/2/04 as the date of our final undoing.


"Over the last three years, practicing a philosophy of deliberate deception, fear-mongering and abuse of authority, the Bush administration has done more to undermine the republic of Lincoln and Jefferson than the cells of al-Qaida. It has willfully ignored our fundamental laws and squandered the nation's wealth in bloody, open-ended pursuits. Corporations like Halliburton, with close ties to government officials, are profiting greatly from the war while thousands of American soldiers undertake the dangerous work of patrolling the streets of Iraqi cities. We have arrived at a moment of national crisis."
