Don't count your freedoms before their hatched. [View All]

I sense a lot of optimism here at DU. Optimism not to different to that felt just before Gore’s win in 2000 and Kerry’s win in 2004. Optimism isn’t bad but sometimes is comes with relaxation. We need to be on the offensive now more than ever.

If you think the NeoCon cabal fought hard and dirty to gain power, you ain’t seen nothing yet. They will fight even harder and DIRTIER to retain power. WWRD (What Will Rove Do)

Don’t let the low poll numbers for Bush and Cheney fool you. If necessary, the cabal will turn on them and use the low poll numbers to their own (cabal) advantage. Looks like McCain has already started.

The republican party is still supporting the cabal and they have a huge propaganda machine.

We need a strategy to not only fight back but to initiate the fight. Bravo for Harry Reid for lashing back at Bush re. immigration, but he was responding not attacking. Responses are never as powerful as the initial attack. We need to hammer home the message that all republicans that support Bush support torture, war and corporate corruption. We need a strategy for fighting smear. We have been unsuccessful in the past. The smear is coming, what are we going to do??

The Democrats need a strategy to protect the internet from control by the cabal. Believe me they are working overtime to figure out how to control the last bastion of free expression.

I apologize for the rambling, but I remember my disappointment in nov 2004. It can happen again.

Keep working.
