Me too because, no offense, but I don't want a bunch of slackers who don't want to be there standing between me and some Muslim terrorist.

I'm not persuaded by a single barrage of polls in a small time period - Bush has consistently been the winner of those match-ups until just a few days ago. Even as recent as two weeks ago, a Bush-Kerry race produced numbers exactly the opposite of the latest ones.
My job is statistics. It's been statistics on and off for the last 14 years. I'm not saying, hey, I know more about this than you do, but I am saying, there's more to it than I suppose you think there is. You can't take a poll one week and think, that's the way the nation feels for the next ten months. It doesn't work that way. For one - it's a long way to November. And for another, Kerry is experiencing a surge from the primaries - the press is covering him a lot. They're covering Edwards a lot lately, too, because of his showing in New Hampshire and Iowa. That HELPS his popularity.
Media coverage will always give a boost to a politician's popularity - unless it's because of a *gaffe* - but when the smoke clears, you're going to see Bush surge again. He's been ahead in these match-ups for months now - you're going to see a return to it in the near future.

Re: by the way...
Buddy read the paper and see where all our troops are being sent to. It's not just Iraq, we have peace keeping troops all over the world. And in answer to your draft question, how many tour of duties in Iraq for active and reserve units is enough? Units that originally invaded Iraq have recently been sent back for another nice vacation! When will it be time for elgible citizens who are sitting back complaining about military pay in the comfort of their homes going to step up and volunteer. Or do they consider by voting is enough to fulfill their civic duty.
JBLASHER you need to get a effing clue!

Re: Re: by the way...
Who's left back "home" to do the job when the majority of our service men and women are defending our asses in another country?
Whether it be active duty or dependent spouse/child, I dare any one of you nay-sayers to try it for a week. You wouldn't last.
