Positive attitude resurfaces at DU... developing...
Wow everyone,

The change in tone at this place over the past 72 hours is amazing. And to think, all it took was one great speech and a cool performance on the Late Show. See people... Kerry's in control, the only time Bush is ahead is when Kerry is below the radar. All we need is two weeks of good exposure before the election and it's ours.

America is ready for change... cheer up everyone and stay that way!

5. Six weeks before the election is a great time to hit
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 10:30 PM by BullGooseLoony
an upswing, though, you've got to admit.

On edit: yeah, like post #9 says, what, do you want us to all be doom and gloomers?

Can we feel anything at all?

6. well, to state the freeekin' obvious...
the candidate who wins will be the one that gets enough of his base out to vote. If we believe we can win, we will win.

And I believe we can win.

win. There will be more tough days ahead but we need to stick together and fight 'till the end.

78. Yes, it's so apparent that Iraq is headed toward a stable democracy
with Bush at the helm. :eyes:

You do realize how many moderate, sane Republicans (you know silly out-of-touch people like Military officers) think the war's been a disaster that's only made America less safe in the long run?

and more every day.

The ends do not justify the means. Also there is no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. You are ranting about a fable.

104. Wow
That was the longest Oxy-induced thread of electron-diarrhea I have ever seen in my life! I am laughing my ass off here.

Besides, the only Republicans proud of C+ Augustus are the hopeless Fundies who think he's the second coming of Jeebus. Every Republican I know (I work in Aerospace; rest assured I know a few) turn several shades of green at the thought of voting for that puling turd Bush, but the right wing media has totally brainwashed them into equating "liberalism" with, as near as I can tell, Satanism.

Pathetic.

Anyway, keep up the good work. You are entertaining as hell. I hope they don't tombstone you too soon!

you believe that now. Go back to playing with your toys and your sandbox jimmy. Let the grownups handle the hard stuff. I dare you to start proving this forum wrong, since you say you can but I think you pulled that thought out ur butt, which I'm sure was clinched very tightly while you got angry with your post.


This is the way I look at it: Republicans Hate SEX, but LOVE BLOODLUST and DEATH


Clinton lied about what? Sex, got pleasure, got impeached, then aquitted.

Bush Lied about what? Unjust War, got pleasure, got money, still in office.


Explain that one away Jimmy............

People are feeling good because Kerry's decided to do the things the skeptics were urging him to do. If he'd done it earlier, the attitude would have turned earlier.

See?

52. "who did not employ almost subversive tactics to try to gain a foothold"
Wow, if you believe that, you aren't now, and never were a liberal. That may be one of the single lamest arguments for voting for a liar and person with addictive personality disorder that I have ever seen.

87. Enlist, Jimmy, enlist now. C'mon boy.
Show us your support with your blood. Not your words.

Find those weapons of mass destruction. Prove us wrong.

Y'know Jimmy, I have family over there fighting for this country, and they are saying Bush is lieing to us, and this is just one big Halliburton boondogle.

I trust somebody who has been there and stared death in the face. Not some yellow, Lord Fauntleroy Mama's boy of a President who had to hide behind the family fortune to avoid his duty.

Not some lieing President who can't make up his mind over why he sent troops to die.

So, go, Jimmy. Go and find the truth for yourself.

Enlist. Jimmy. Otherwise you are just a foolish sunshine patriot. Another coward who cannot back his words with action. Jimmy.

That is why you support George isn't it, Jimmy? You embrace his cowardice and failure? Are you just words without the courage to back it up Jimmy? Just like yellow Geroge, Jimmy?

Show us you believe Jimmy.

Right now, before you post one more time.

Uncle Sam Wants You Jimmy. NOW!

I wish the people who lied about the wars were the same ones who died in those wars, Jimmy. And they never are.

What's a matter Jimmy?

You're not a yellow belly, are you?

Harvey Briggs

...build up your post count to a few hundred before you troll. It won't stop us from seeing through your act, but at least we'll respect you for taking it seriously.

36. This is what happens when Iraq moves to the top of the news
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 10:51 PM by DemFromMem
Everyone has been talking about how Kerry had a terrible August due to his campaign being in disarray. But I think Tucker Carlson - with whom I almost never agree - had it right when he said the other day that the presidential polls are tracking the public's views of the war in Iraq. When the public is less worried about the war, Bush goes up in the polls. And the opposite holds true as well.

In August and early September, we had the Olympics, Swift Boats, the Republican National Convention and hurricanes. Iraq fell way down the list on stories of importance to the mainstream media. Now that the spriraling downward events in Iraq (plus just less competition from other stories) is making Iraq more prominent in the news, we're starting to see Bush stumble again. I presume the polls for Kerry will start to look like the July numbers again within a week or so.

42. Welcome to DU!
I assume from your name that you're from Memphis. Have you ever eaten at a restaurant (a chain, admittedly, but still damn tasty) called the "Red Hot and Blue"? That's some yummy Memphis BBQ, my friend.

I've heard of the restaurant. But I'm vegetarian and only know the bar-b-que places by reputation. I also eat low carb so I guess you could say I'm on the No Food Diet. :-)

Don't know how a lifelong political junkie could have been missing out on a great site like this. Rather addicting!

Bush is married to Iraq.

Like Jon Stewart said, though, so are we. And that's why we're going to throw the fucker out.

47. Here is the reason.
For many here the reality of what is going on in Iraq is unbearable. It has been from day one when we dropped all those bombs. The Iraqis did nothing to us. They were not our enemy.

The issue had been discarded, but now it is being addressed. I think there will be more peace here as long as the horrors of Iraq are finally spoken about, not shoved aside.

59. My problem has been the silence on Iraq.
It may have been more convenient not to mention it, but it is still there,lurking, in our minds. Our soldiers are dying at a faster rate, and the Iraqis just got attacked viciously again tonight.

Iraq is the elephant in the living room. You just can not ignore it. It will just get bigger and uglier and smellier if ignored.

If they back off from this thing done in our name then we will start speaking up again.

If they continue to speak truth, if our Democrats keep their voice, you will continue to see peace most likely.

66. It's because they are listening to us, somewhat
I mean, they are begining to find their message, and what is hitting and what isnt...its amazing, watching that Orlando rally, watching them gauge the audieances reaction to many of the issues. They are feeding on that energy, and using it to develop their message, and the true tone of the average democratic party member, making us happy in turn.

That crowd I think threw him for a loop. I think he was suprised at the overwhelming positive reponse he got...he just seemed to be glowing after people cheered his comments. It was the begining of a wonderful change in attitude and confidence.

I will be very peaceful while they keep it up.

Yes we are feeling good today. That's why the trolls have come out to play. They're getting worried about the shifting polls, so they have to try to rain on our parade.

Let 'em. Even if Kerry loses the election, I won't be backing down. I'm a yellow dog, through and through. I'm not going anywhere and I'm NOT doing it quietly!

77. They're done and they know it.
They feel the pressure, and they finally know they're wrong- because someone of significance has the courage to speak up and tell them so.


Kerry's going to deserve the presidency when he wins. It takes a lot of courage to do this- and that's a big part of what's going to win it for him.

He's gonna kick that Drug Store Cowboy's Sorry Ass all the way back to Crawford Texas.

The key has always been to relentlessly expose Shrub's Dismal Record of Failure and Corruption. And Kerry's doing it.
