*The Republicans are helping Obama win*
It's taken eight long years, but the opposition party has finally figured out how to give us back our country...

How, you ask?

It's simple!

:redbox: They've wrecked the Economy

:bluebox: They nominated Sarah Palin


These are the gifts that keep on giving!


Victory will be ours!

3. Your "my dears" always make me smile.
Even when they're not for me... but especially when they are!

11. I'm cautiously optimistic
For the first time in years. The amount of money that people have donated to Elwyn Tinklenberg over the past two days - since his opponent made a serious ass of herself on Hardball - gives me hope that Americans are finally fed up with the politics of hate and fear.

To the Freepers and Repuglicans: just keep talking. You're giving new meaning to the phrase "digging your grave with your mouth".

13. My dear FloridaJudy...
I keep thinking that if we had open and fair elections...

You remember, the way they used to be...

Then I wouldn't be one little bit concerned...

But what with kicking folks off voter rolls, Diebold touch screen machines and other such horrors happening...

Well, then my confidence wanes.

But I think our numbers will be so overwhelming that we will overcome all these obstacles.

18. My dear elshiva...
I'm not worried about the racism, actually...

We know it's out there.

We know those people won't vote for Obama, ever.

And most people, these days, are not racist.

Try not to worry, sweetie...

24. About a year and a half ago
I went to Constitution Hall and saw Al Gore speak. I knew he was winding things up and as I stood there clapping and cheering for him, I started to cry, and I told my friend CountingBlueCars, "That is our REAL president, not the fuckin' idiot we got stuck with and it just pisses me off beyond words how angry I am right now". I'm not sure how I will handle a disappointment that ugly again...

25. It was a terrible disappointment.
I was very angry at Al Gore.

Obama is made of much sterner stuff. He would not let this happen, never...

It just isn't going to happen.

28. My dear California Peggy, I just heard Mike Moore say
that both Carter and Clinton won without the "white male vote".

Is that true? I'm going to try to track that down.

We'll be fine. :toast:

I haven't heard that...

No idea if it's true...Though Mike Moore is normally an unimpeachable source.

I think we'll be fine too...

30. kick from the lounge!
It's true, they've screwed things up so badly even they can't believe it! It's like when your grandma lets you eat all the candy you want and you are actually secretly glad when your mom comes back and makes you eat good food because the junk food made you sick.

Before I read your whole post, I didn't think I was getting a "dear lizzieforkerry", Thanks!
although I would prefer just lizzie- the forkerry thing they won't let me drop.

43. Ah, you misinterpret me...
Perhaps I should have used the sarcasm smiley...

What they've done to us is horrifying...

But if this is what it takes to get people to vote for Obama...

Then let's make use of it.
