Remember, although there is absolutely no rational explanation for it, and no one is calling the media whores on it, Bush's "approval" rating is still 50%. Even tonight on ABC, they reported on a new poll and Bush's big drop in the way he is handling Iraq...but that his "approval" rating remains at 50%.

I've said it before, and it my mantra until 11-02-04...The 50% approval number is the lie which Diebold/Bush will use to steal the un-paper-trailed election. Christ, can't you almost hear McClellan smugly standing at the podium saying "Well, while it's too bad we can't recount the ballots, it is certainly clear that all poll showed a 50% approval rating for the President, leading right up to the election. Obviously, given the margin of error of such poll, Bush must have simply garnered more votes! Oh well...whatcha gonna do about it?"

This is probably one of the most important things we should be writing our newspapers and the news shows about...that we are on to them. Look at ALL the polling data...every single demographic except white Christian republican males have turned on Bush. Yet, somehow, he ALWAYS still has an aggregate "approval" rating of 50%. Apparently, we are to believe everyone in America hates Bush, but still half "approve" of the job he is doing.

Again, Diebold/Bush are counting on a 50% "approval" number to hopelessly muddy the election results. I don't buy it for a second, and neither should you.
