Bush Opens a Double-Digit Lead!
| Fri, 09-03-2004 - 3:46pm |
New York: For the first time since the Presidential race became a two person contest last spring, there is a clear leader, the latest TIME poll shows. If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Poll results are available on TIME.com and will appear in the upcoming issue of TIME magazine, on newsstands Monday, Sept. 6.

"Kerry was actually IN COUNTRY for 4 months, but served a prior 12 months aboard the USS Gridley."
He was only in Vietnam for 4 months and served on USS Gridley, which of course, was not in Vietnam.
Gallup poll shows a more realistic lead since convention bounces always come down somewhat:

Here's a description of their tour in Vietnam from Kerry's commanding officer (who's actually against Kerry because of his anti-War activities, but he has the decency not to question his service or his medals.)
"We deployed from Long Beach to the Vietnam theatre in early 1968 after only a six-month turnaround and spent most of a four month deployment on rescue station in the Gulf of Tonkin, standing by to pick up downed aviators. It was a fairly grueling tour of duty. Our helicopter was shot up trying to rescue a downed pilot and the door gunner was killed. The crew performed well and John Kerry’s performance in all aspects of his duty was outstanding. Drafting his fitness reports was an exercise in the use of superlatives. In fact, of the thirty or so officers, I counted him in the top half dozen, no mean feat for an ensign.'

Apparently McCain doesnt think too highly of what Kerry did when he came home, especially since he was a POW at the time.
<<He supported Kerry's service, and said that the attacks on his service should stop. >>
And in return Kerry calls him a liar.
