C'mon, people. We need to think more like Roosevelt or Churchill. Did FDR back down after the Pacific Fleet was sunk at Pearl Harbor? Did Churchill beg for peace when Hitler's bombers were pounding London in 1940?

NO.

Stop bitching about the polls. Stop whining. Buck up and fight. If you can't volunteer, send some $$$ to the DNC to help Kerry, or to Moveon, or to your local Dem candidate.

No defeatism. No retreat. We must save our country. We must elect Kerry. We WILL save our country!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. That was a quote from animal house circa 1978

Bluto : Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter : Germans?
Boon : Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto : And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...

Bluto : the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

Bluto : What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter : Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done

5. Thanks FDRL, I was just going to post something akin to yours
Desperately needed: more volunteers in swing states. If you can make a trip this wknd to a "white" state, I highly recommend it! You will never feel more valuable in your life. ;-)

6. That's the spirit.
Someone posts a "poor me, we're going to lose thread" and it gets dozens of replies. We need more stuff like this.

I, for one, agree with you.

9. Spread the meme!
Become a meme transmitter!

"George W. Bush: The Excuse President."

Tell your friends.

Seriously, this "woe is us" bullshit has to stop around here. If we are serious about saving our country, it is up to us. Kerry has found his voice. Now let's kick some ass.

11. I have volunteered 3 days in the past week
and am going back tomorrow, and as much as I can until the election. The Republicans have a LOT more money to hire people than we have. We are very dependent on volunteers.

Come on guys, we can out-work them, out-smart them and out-VOTE them. But we have to WORK to get it done. CALL (don't sign up on line) your local Democratic party headquarters and ask them where to volunteer.

For PA residents, check here to find out where to volunteer:
