Enough of the doomsaying! Do I have to come there and personally calm you down? Stop with all the defeatism, OK? <b>Bush IS a goner<\/b> &#8212; IF we all just quit our whining and bellyaching and stop shaking like a bunch of nervous ninnies. Geez, this is embarrassing! The Republicans are laughing at us. Do you ever see them cry, &#8220;Oh, it&#8217;s all over! We are finished! Bush can&#8217;t win! Waaaaaa!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hell no. It&#8217;s never over for them&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>There are three reasons why the polls are b.s.: <\/p>\n<p>One, they are polling &#8220;likely voters.&#8221; &#8220;Likely&#8221; means those who have consistently voted in the past few elections. So that cuts out young people who are voting for the first time and a ton of non-voters who are definitely going to vote in THIS election. <\/p>\n<p>Second, they are not polling people who use their cell phone as their primary phone. Again, that means they are not talking to young people. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, most of the polls are weighted with too many Republicans, as pollster John Zogby revealed last week. You are being snookered if you believe any of these polls. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Traveling around the country, as I&#8217;ve been doing, I gotta tell ya, there is a hell of a lot of unrest out there. Much of it is not being captured by the mainstream press. But it is simmering and it is real. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>WAKE UP! The majority are with us! More than half of all Americans are pro-choice, want stronger environmental laws, are appalled that assault weapons are back on the street &#8212; and 54% now believe the war is wrong.<\/b> YOU DON&#8217;T EVEN HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM OF ANY OF THIS &#8212; YOU JUST HAVE TO GIVE THEM A RAY OF HOPE AND A RIDE TO THE POLLS. CAN YOU DO THAT? WILL YOU DO THAT?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Moore.com : Mike&#8217;s Message : Messages Put Away Your Hankies&#8230;a message from Michael Moore Dear Friends, Enough of the handwringing!
