30 days to Election. I challenge you DU...are you up for it? read on
Edited on Fri Oct-03-08 09:52 PM by greenbriar
I challenge every poster on DU to not

bitch about every little minor flaw they think they might see in our ticket

Instead lets concentrate on pointing out every flaw and gaffe McSame/Phalin makes


It is time for us to knock them dead and beating up on our own candidates is not going to cut it.


Once Obama/Biden take the oath, we have all the time in the world to make our needs and positions known, but if we do not help them win, we will be truly suffering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




If you agree...rec and kick and lets rock on

3. I hope that you don't think disappointment with lack of civil rights is
"bitching about a little minor flaw".

4. I hope that people here can get the bitching and whining out of their system this weekend
and let's then get on to the job at hand--electing Barack Obama the next president of the United States. Let's keep our eyes on the prize.

5. If you're not working on the integrity of the election, you're not ready!
Go to the STEALING AMERICA: Vote By Vote website. Watch the trailer, then click on the action button and see dozens of things you can do to help make this an election where the choices of the majority of voters actually get elected.

7. we have two choices. Obama or McSame
I know that myself and all of my family would be better off with Obama

do I agree with EVERYTHING they say no,

do I agree with ANYTHING out of McNasty's mouth NO


so I will do what ever I can to make sure it is Obama is taking that oath in Jan



Then I can voice my opinion for the things my ticket does that I don't agree with


but for now, I am going to point out EVERY gaffe and flaw that McNasty and prom queen bitch make

8. As a phone banker
I talk to enthusiastic supporters and sometimes very critically minded activists in their community. rare is even the whisper, the hint, even when asked directly of doing any single other than vote or possibly talk to their neighbors. Not a nickel, not a road sign, not an hour on the pavement or phone lines.

Sadly this is likely true here among the most big picture knowledgeable people. The humble volunteers and kids on the streets we do get are certainly not the exceptional, highly activist people one would expect. They are mainly the ones who when touched once by the reality of what is going on feel they must DO something and are startled to find themselves so exceptional doing ordinary campaign work in a veritable ocean of practical indifference walled by every stripe of stubborn negativity and avoidance, some false, some bitterly rational.

When it is not normal to perform a simple act of honestly insufficient service as a public duty necessary for all our society and its values, the few become exceptional heroes and the simple acts acts of exceptional heroism. What ALL these heroes want is not to be exceptional, but the norm and to have the real support of people standing side by side that will build the grass roots and the foundations of America for real. The words are great. The ideas and the current monopoly justice lovers have regarding truth in America are important. The small rituals of demonstrations and ground politics seem appallingly less lofty but are absolutely necessary to validate the treasures and commitments we share and profess so easily among ourselves. Without that we have put no faith in ourselves, no feet to the ground we profess to know and value.

11. If you refer to someone's civil rights as 'bitching about every little minor flaw'
it really is discounting them.

Even if you follow up by saying you're not.
