Dear Republicans,

You of all people should know that polls don't mean a thing... especially when it comes to convention bounces. After all, Michael Dukakis had a SEVENTEEN POINT LEAD over George H.W. Bush after the Democratic Convention in 1988, and look where that got him.

Love,
Grace

Oh...bitter...

P.S. That picture is SWEET

[gracecathryn]

It's pretty convenient to call somebody bitter when you don't have a response because you know what they are saying is true.

But on the other hand, the picture IS sweet.

Okay. Come on. "Any semblance of support?" I'm not saying we're gonna win this election. And although the majority of recent polls DO put Kerry slightly in front of Bush, virtually all of them are within the margin of error, which therefore indicates that basically this is currently a dead heat. I am in no way trying to argue that Kerry has way more support in the American public than Bush does, but to suggest that Democrats are unable to maintain any "semblance of support" is absolutely ridiculous. Any smart, realistic, and levelheaded Republican would agree with me. All possible evidence points to the conclusion that Democrats have just as much support in America as Republicans do, including and especially the fact that we have won the popular vote (In case you didn't realize, that means that more Americans voted for the Democrat than the Republican) in the last three presidential elections.

im in the army.. and i know damn well and for a fact!!! that if kerry would win this election our military would go to shit! hes a baby killer his wife is insane and your fat

Umm...

There's really no way for us to tell if you're in the army or not, so I won't make an issue of that. I agree that if Kerry were elected president our military would be basically doomed and that his abortion policies slaughter millions of innocent children every year.

But I can't condone your personal attacks on Grace (I actually sort of like Kerry's wife too). First of all, she is not fat. Second of all, if you're going to insult one of my friends, perhaps you should use the correct "you're." Thank you for your (possibly fake) service to our country, and God Bless.

Well, I don't argue with people on their moral stance on abortion so I'll just let that be, but the military survived the Clinton years, so I can't imagine how it could possibly be doomed by the leadership of another Democrat who is ADDITIONALLY a brave military hero.

And thank you sincerely Jim, for defending me against those personal attacks. I truly appreciate it.

Grace dearest

[gracecathryn]

siiigh.... ok two things.

1. you didn't REALLY expect me to just let you call me bitter, did you?

2. personally, I thought MY entry was also a lighthearted and interesting look at a time when polls backfired against MY OWN PARTY.

[jimbo12]

1.) Valid point taken;)

2.) Interesting? Yes. Lighthearted? Meh...
