  •  Let's start calling this type of thing (4.00 / 5)

    KOS this poll.

    •  yes, (none / 0)

      please don't mention those bastards unless completely necessary. has anyone seen the huge split they've had over bush's new immigration policy? long-time freepers have been banned for their dissents.

      •  It's all about the language (none / 0)

        WE should never say what they want us to say on anything.  It ain't tort "reform" it's Corporate Protection.  It ain't social security reform, it's social security destruction.

        Gingrich has been right all along.

        KOS THIS POLL!!!

        •  if you look at FR (none / 0)

          you would see an article with Dean saying that he admires Gingrich. they jumped all over the story, but for the wrong reasons! they don't understand he likes Newt's METHODS, not his IDEAS. things keep looking better for us, and the GOP's complacency makes it even sweeter.

          •  I'd rather put my balls in a vice (none / 0)

            than go to Freep, but thanks for taking that bullet for us.

            Message has been my thing for 10 years.  Our guys are just too "smart" to stay on message.

            Look at "bush is a strong leader" and how that came about.  They said it about themselves for about a year or two.  They made sure to do polls on it.  Then the media took the wording they were using about themselves and included it in their own polls.  

            Bush is then considered a "strong leader."

            Put another way: coke spends millions developing an ad -- the words, the images, everything.

            They don't air it once.

            You would think this way of approaching politics was some sort foul when looking at how Democrats operate.  Some brand new technology that boggles the mind.  But they've been doing it to us since Nixon yet we act surprised everytime it works.

            Man I hate our side right now.

            Go Howie Go.

          "Kos this poll" it is.  Now get us above 53 percent!  :-)

    •  Ehhhh... (none / 0)

      ...there just seems to be something a little bit slimey about jumping on a poll you wouldn't normally run into.  That puts it squarely in the Freeper kingdom.

          Doesn't mean I didn't go vote for Dean in this one... just that I think the term "Freep" is more appropriate for deceptive acts... and the term "Kos" deserves to be associated with more positive things.
