16. Don't forget Barney and McGovern

18. and Tierney's no slouch either - my Rep.

:hi: :dem:

[hisownpetard]

22. Oh, definitely. (I didn't have room for everyone, so I just did an ellipsis... )

[Cha]

7. Good Karma rides in

for a nice Switch!

[hisownpetard]

8. It's nice to have even an iota of hope that things may be starting to turn around!

[Cha]

9. You betcha! And we're good at that!

I don't know how Niki's campaign went there in Mass but from what I know about her opponent..I'm guessing he played the 9/11 card.

It's sad that his bro was killed as one of the pilots on that day that bush couldn't stop with the pet goat; but the bushits were asleep at the wheel and Jim Ogonowski should have been calling on them to take responsibility and not running as a repuke to enable them more! What's wrong with these repukes?

[hisownpetard]

10. What's wrong with these repukes? You mean, aside from EVERYTHING...?

[Cha]

11. Aside from this..

[hisownpetard]

14. I honestly can't think of anything that is NOT wrong with them! I've never hated

anyone in my life (except my ex-mother-in-law), but I'm starting to hate them with a vengeance.

[Cha]

15. I look at as ..

a love of our country that is so strong that the people trying to destroy it are our enemies. No time to waste on hate..just fighting the ones, to the finish, who are bent on turning this into Fascist America.

The debilitating emotion of hate is reserved for the fascists of all stripes.

[hisownpetard]

19. I haven't gotten to the 'debilitating' stage yet: I'm still at the 'festering' stage, which

results in energizing me to act. Hope I can tone it down before the debilitation hits!

[Cha]

20. You'll be fine..it's just word

that's thrown around DU in reference to how the ones who question hillary's policies and they're automatically labeled "hillary haters"(DISTRACTION ALERT). So, I don't hate.. I just work my :kick: off to see she doesn't get the nomination. :)

[0007]

21. Amen!

[thoughtanarchist]

12. Beyond playing the 9/11 card

He also played the "scary brown people" card. Immigration hysteria was a major theme toward the tail end of his campaign and guess who came in to stump for him a few days before the election?

None other than...


wait for it...


Duncan "Illegal aliens ...threatening our safety" Hunter himself!

[Cha]

13. Hefreakin'he! Thanks, I was hoping

for a little synopsis of how ol' jim ran his race.

FEAR FEAR FEAR..BE VERY AFRAID ..OF THE FREAKIN' FEARMONGERS, DUH!

[Vidar]

17. Great news! Applauding Congresswoman Tsongas.

He is now Chancellor of UMASS Lowell.
