All the base would have to work with is the RW polls, and Democrats would be depressed and scared right now. :-(

1. I agree - thank God for the internet(s)!
I shudder to think what it would be like without sites like DU to bring Dems together!:scared:

4. It may not be so easy next time though...
I'm sure by 2008 at least some (say 3 - 5%) Freeptards will know how to use a web community to organise and mobilise rather than bitch and bash.

3. Let's not get too self-important, eh?
I don't think Bush would win a landslide in any state of circumstances.

6. What would the internet be without an "all your base" reference?
"All the base would have to work with is the RW polls"

Thanks to the internet, now All their base now belong to us.

7. You're right
That's why I don't pay any attention to the news on television other than for "entertainment." Even the local paper here comes up with a startling amount of bullshit.

8. Isn't it great?
Now the country has a place to go to get their information outside of the easily cowed corporate news outlets.

9. Not just the polls; There is the news as well
Think about all the news that we get from the internet. With out it, we would only get the stories the right wing media wanted us to hear.

10. Maybe, but Bush has used the internet to spread thousands of lies
about Kerry. Bushfucks have spread Bush's lies in endless emails to millions of other braindead voters. And Reich wing websites perpetuate and embellish every lie.

It is hard work staying misinformed about nearly every issue but Bush has used the internets to make it easier for his supporters.
