A few things coming to a head, I think - desperate people will do desperate things.
The neocons can see that the empire that they are attempting to build is, of course, doomed to fail, but they are going to throw everything they have into it. Whether the MSM is in on this, part of it, or just selling ad space and pushing for a horserace is hard for me to decide. I actually am thinking more and more that Bush is just a figure head, a dumbo front piece, but there is something big and powerful propping him up - stealing elections, and now of course, driving McShame's campaign at the desperation phase, because they didn't see Obama coming - they didn't see how powerful hope, intellect, charisma - but mostly hope - can be. They are ruining everything. We are seeing the Anthrax situation resolving, we are seeing key AQ people near death - hell, we will likely see Osama's last days in the news, an attack of Iran. Worse things.

But to me, this is actually a sure sign that true desperation is setting in. Buckle your seat belts, stay positive, stay bold and brave and get involved. We are nearly there!

1. And they certainly haven't spent all of this time, money and effort in consolidating power
to then hand it back across the aisle.
They'll lie, cheat and then try to steal the election.

When, oh when will tampering with the vote become an act of treason?

6. They're already lying and cheating and stealing
They're going to be reduced to crying pitiably and losing control of their motor functions, shitting and pissing themselves. And we'd better be ready to keep a hold of these fuckers again, or we're going to get them all back again in 2030. We didn't do the job in the aftermath of the corrupt Nixon administration, and look at all the assholes still fucking things up now.

Let's do the job right this time.

8. 2030? Shit, watch them attempt a roaring comeback in 2012...
After Watergate, obituaries were being written about the death of the GOP in 1976. Well, guess what happened just 4 short years later?

Even if they lose big in November, they'll regroup within a couple of years. Then watch out!

2. Then hopefully
that will be the day that we all stand up and we fight with everything we got. Because i myself am not going to want 2012 really coming true.

7. Just hang on to this one all-important fact:
they are COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT!
