I asked in another thread, and none of you have answered: What would it take for Kerry supporters to stop their support?

Now, we already know that most veterans, by a huge number, support Bush. But that aside... what would it take for you Kerry supporters to change your positions?

Is there ANYTHING that could be in his past that would get you to reconsider? Is there ANY action or activity he could have done that would cause you to re-evaluate your position?

Good luck 95. This forum is populated by Bush haters, not Kerry supporters. Kerry's past just does not matter to them.

Actually, if Kerry told the truth about his true beliefs the only ones that would still vote for him are the communists, anarchists, and watermelons in the Kuchinich/Nader/Dean camp.

LOL, left-leaning ABC News?

The very same ABC News that, back in February, put up the following on their website in the political commentary section, The Note;


"Like every other institution, the Washington and political press corps operate with a good number of biases and predilections.

"They include, but are not limited to, a near-universal shared sense that liberal political positions on social issues like gun control, homosexuality, abortion, and religion are the default, while more conservative positions are 'conservative positions.'

"They include a belief that government is a mechanism to solve the nation's problems; that more taxes on corporations and the wealthy are good ways to cut the deficit and raise money for social spending and don't have a negative affect on economic growth; and that emotional examples of suffering (provided by unions or consumer groups) are good ways to illustrate economic statistic stories. ...

"The press, by and large, does not accept President Bush's justifications for the Iraq war – in any of its WMD, imminent threat, or evil-doer formulations. It does not understand how educated, sensible people could possibly be wary of multilateral institutions or friendly, sophisticated European allies.

"It does not accept the proposition that the Bush tax cuts helped the economy by stimulating summer spending.

"It remains fixated on the unemployment rate.

"It believes President Bush is 'walking a fine line' with regards to the gay marriage issue, choosing between 'tolerance' and his 'right-wing base.'

"It still has a hard time understanding how, despite the drumbeat of conservative grass-top complaints about overspending and deficits, President Bush's base remains extremely and loyally devoted to him – and it looks for every opportunity to find cracks in that base.

"Of course, the swirling Joe Wilson and National Guard stories play right to the press's scandal bias – not to mention the bias towards process stories (grand juries produce ENDLESS process!).

"The worldview of the dominant media can be seen in every frame of video and every print word choice that is currently being produced about the presidential race."


And now, you would have us believe any objectiveness they may have?

Don't like the results? This is two basic questions. Who do you support and are you a veteran? Kind of hard to add bias there.

You guys having a hard time following a series of posts? It was regarding the poll by ABC/Washington Post. Veterans support is about evenly split between Bush and Kerry.
