[southernleftylady]

3. I nearly cried when a Repub friend said this to me:

I, who canvassed, went to protests and rallies, made phone calls, drove voters to the polls, gave money, conducted polls, wrote letters, and God-only-knows-what-else, was told:

Actually, I follow politics, but I never voted in an election before, except in '96 because Billary was running for reelection, but John Kerry was just so liberal that he would have DESTROYED America. Plus, after all the lies he told about Vietnam, how could we trust him with our troops' lives?"

I just felt like crying. JK wasn't particularly liberal, and everything he said about Vietnam was TRUE. He was primarily the victim of a well-orchastrated media smear job, which he didn't deal with particularly well.

Democratic politician's problems are that they still somehow expect Republicans to play by the rules: tell the truth, don't use dirty tactics, count all the votes.

You can't win a rigged game if you're not willing to play dirty.

4. True enough

I'm willing to accept, as much as the repuke vermin should similarly
accept, that 50:50 is NO MANDATE, and that were the voters really
deeply "swung", then no voting machines can fool the results... a few
hundred thousand for a bush crime perhaps, but not millions.

So, given that american elections are very corrupt and prone to fraud,
winning decisively is important, and i see the wisdom of your
republican friend's advise.

Just without overturning the corporate media lie about the criminality
of the repuke filth, there is little point. It is a kabuki charade
in which men paint on costumes and bugger each other pretending to be
women... and all for a laugh on the corporate media dime.

Pretty soon, they'll start raping citizens on public TV just to show
how powerful they are. Its all about rape after all. May they all die
1000 deaths in the blackest pit of hell.

Think the neo-cons and the Bush white house are out of their mind...as your standard of living falls due to those policies, the trip back is getting shorter!
