3. Nice to see you!
Hope all is going well. :hi:

I imagine the next few months will be even more insane for you. Looking forward to all celebrating together and then rolling up our sleeves to fix this whole mess.

4. But a Kerry win is just a battle
We are barely even scratching the surface of the real fight. Kerry will win. But he will not win because of Democratic ideals. He will win because George W Bush is so bad at being president that even the concerted efforts of the neocons and the media can blind the people to his incompitance.

We need to take the spark that we get from Kerry and we need to light as many bonfires as we can. We need to bring the sense of reason of progressive liberal ideas before the people so they can see the plain sense of it. We need to drive back the darkness created by the neocons in their bid to undo the progress of decades. We need to take back this country from the Corporations and return it to We The People.

6. I gotta tell ya Pete.........
I may not have swung toward Kerry(during the Primary) had it not been for your excellent posts on Campaign 2004 about the man. And I am glad you convinced me. Thanx much!

11. I don't think you should "absolutely" trust anyone
Especially not Kerry, if your "unshakeable belife in dem/liberal/and progressive ideals" is serious.

Kerry is step one in taking back the country. The only reason he is step on is because he is the opponent to Bush, and Bush must be stoped. Anyone but Bush in 2004. The next step is to start fighting for ACTUAL PROGRESSIVE not DLC right wing coprorate bougth and paid for "Democrats." Real change is needed not just the "moderate" maintenance of the status quo.

Kerry is not a "good guy" for progressives. He is however, THE guy who can take down bush, and that is priority number one as stage one. Stage two is to start putting progressives back into congress, and developing a progessive poltiical base at the federal level that can support and put power behind a progressive candidate for president.

I'm a democrat this year because Bush must be stopped. But I'm a social progressive at heart, and the Democratic party is not that.

12. I can always tell when we're doing good
The trolls come slithering out from under their rocks and infest the place. We've had a real infestation of them recently.

Ahhh, I love the smell of desperation, coupled with the stink of defeat coming off of their increasingly pitiable posts!

Mwahahahahaha!

14. Nice to see you Pete
Been wondering about you.

As of June 10 I no longer get to talk politics and have my organization in the same post -- but I'm very glad you still have your passion.
