"We Democrats are locked in a battle for governance of the United States."

That battle is for control of Congress, of the Judiciary, of all fifty State Houses and the Governor's desks of this land. The 2006 mid-term elections are just one part of that battle. We are locked in a two-year struggle over which party will emerge as the majority party in the United States.

The outcome of this election alone, however, will not determine the victor of this battle. That would be misunderstanding this moment. In fact, given the hand-wringing and poll-wrangling we've seen online the last few days, it's critically important to understand the true location and significance of this battle for governance.

The focus of this battle for governance is not the halls of Congress or the desk in the Oval Office. It's not the conference room of the Supreme Court or the chambers of the various State Capitals. It's easy to get distracted and think that's true. But it isn't.

We Democrats are fighting for the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens. No more and no less. That's the real terrain of this battle field. And that's what we do when we GOTV. That's the point.

It is simple.

We confront a remarkable, devastating national disease - many Americans deny reality.

Torture, massive debt, devastation of the rule of law, mass murder, war of aggression, destruction of the environment .... are simply not happening in their "mind," in their fantasy version of "life."

The patient will be dead on 8 Nov 2006, if we do not prevail.

CODE BLUE.


Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq .... and, now he willfully provided nuke-making instructions to terrorists -- if you doubt it, just check 'the google' ...

1. Thank you UL

It speaks to my concerns completely.

2. This is not merely a fight for hearts and minds. This is a fight for our

futures and indeed our very lives.

Bush has deliberately placed into a public forum, in Arabic, complete instructions for assembly of nuclear weapons. That, combined with missing fissionable materials around the world and the treasonous betrayal of the CIA's anti-nuke program, constitutes the clearest case of malicious action by a head of state this world has seen since Hitler's final solution.

Bush must not only be stopped in his tracks, he must be removed and punished.

He is the most evil, psychopathic leader in the world in recent history.

3. "Bush must not only be stopped in his tracks, he must be removed and punished."

Correct. As must be the case for Cheney and many of Bu$h's minions.
