Cause for Concern? new buzzwords from the right
TWICE this morning
(once on CNN and once on Stephanopoulis' show)
I heard the GOP refer to Bush
having to win 'a majority of the electoral college'
this when pressed about whether they really thought
he would win in November
this seems to be the seed of a new buzz

listen for it
I'm sure it will become part of the message

1. It makes me think how much
the Repug.s project--they were absolutely gleeful about the 2000 Census and the number of Latinos. Does anyone remember how they held back the results? Of course they are always up to nefarious deeds.

2. What is wrong with this?
I noticed that the evil wife of our now de-balled James Carville said the same thing. The point is true, however. They probably will lose the popular vote. But according to our constitution, winning the popular vote gives you a 10% discount at participating Red Lobsters for the next four years.

Sorry, actually, you don't even get that.

The buzzwords that worried me were - flip-flop, waffler, indecisive.

3. Waffles flip flop, Bush is the one the media ought to be calling
indecisive, every interview The Chimp responds to questions with his typical, huh...huhh...huhhhh... As for flip flopping, he ran in 2000 as a centrist!!! a uniter, It pisses me off that the Dems do not hammer the Chimp on his greater record of acting like a pancake.

5. On the other hand -- what's the point of being "decisive" if ...
...you made your mind up about a buncha stuff back in '78 and never ever change it?

Bush and most other conservatives aren't decisive, they're rigid and unthinking.

4. The Republicans are losing ground with the popular vote
With the changing demographics, and the growing numbers of African and Hispanic-Americans, as a percentage of the voting population, we are now 3 million votes ahead of Bush instead of just 600,000.

6. the majority of the electoral college is
the goal. kerry has the same idea, don't you think? getting 100% of the vote in CA and NY won't get kerry the presidency.
