DU swinging toward Positiveness and Sanity
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 10:54 PM by opihimoimoi
The efforts of trolls and moles have not the desired effect. DU remains committed to Kerry/Edwards and the Hope they represent.

The overview is Optimism and a victory for Kerry/Edwards. He has the Positive message people yearn for. His record is a winning one. He has respect and credibility. The Pub Pit Bulls have yet to penetrate his flack jacket. He is slowly doing it to Bush/

Com'on guys, now is the time to pile it on...Rack up the score....

Get those spears sharpened and man the walls....the Pubs come to attack Kerry/Edwards.

5. Use good stones for the razor edge, and heat up the oil to shower
over the enemy as they climb the walls.

2. I hear ya! Down with trolls and negativism! Sharpen your spears!
Don't let those troll people tempt us into the game of their choice - negativism. We can only win if we believe we can - no troll reading this can do anything to defend against optimism and a positive and unwavering offense - the best defense.

7. Keep up the level and we will win big time
The Bushies are on the run...trying all kinds of distractions and deceptions but its not working...

All they got is a losing score card and they trying to pass it off as a winning one. But we all can see its BS. He is a loser and Kerry is a winner.

Bush is unfit to continue the Command of the USS America...we are aground and he don't even know it.

3. Kucinich had the real message of hope
I'll take Kerrys over Naders and Bush's any day though.

9. Kerry is the only battle plan in Town.... We got to use it to bring back
credibilty and respect to the White House. Bush has fumbled on so many occasions its time for a new QB....He don pass, don hand off good, and cannot run w/o falling down. He cannot remember the Plays even... Damn.

17. Welcome to DU!
I'm with you on Kucinich, who had a truly hopeful message during his campaign which was in start contrast to that of BushCo (one of the reasons I went to the mat for him, over and over).

However, Kerry is our quarterback this year, and we've all got to work with his strength and weaknesses to win this sucker.

Welcome to DU!

6. I have also noticed a more tolerant attitude,
toward the ones of us who are not all, "Rah! Rah!" about Kerry also.
This has been discussed in other threads in quite a civil manner compared to how it was a few weeks ago. A very good sign, because the tent has to have room for us all if we expect to win this thing.

20. "Screw you guys, I'm going home" ......NOT
This party's tent is big enough for all of us. If there's room for the corporate-friendly DLCers, there's room for peace/justice activists like myself.

Remember, Clinton would not have won the south so handily if not for the countless new voters registered by Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition in the 1980s. :D

Since I don't get to see much of him on TV here in Calif. It is inspiring to see him surrounded by throngs of cheering supporters across the nation. Keep the pics coming folks...does my heart a world of good. :hi:

32. Opihi...
you are right! I love reading your posts; you help me keep my spirits up, and find a way to see through the fog the right wing sends out. We have a winning team, and we are going to take our government back. If it has taught us nothing else, these last 4 years have taught us how fragile our democracy is.

We need to cherish it, and support it, and make sure that we never again come so close to losing the freedoms we have enjoyed. Democracy will not take care of itself without some attention from us. We have this last chance to save our country from the darkness that is Bush and his fellow thieves.

42. Lock and loaded with condor doo doo, firing for effect, Need more ammo
Send ASAP, got only for 3 more hours till outta ammo.

Send some nurses too, got wounded to tend to

and files for the spears, need sharpening...

Kerry looking good despite the Pub onslaught of denigrating his Nam experience....trying to make him look bad,,,

Hey, he went and Boooosh did not...simple as that....

Cheney the coward is still attacking Kerry and everytime he opens his mouth, more Nam vets get pissed off, many turning to Kerry with their support, votes. Bush is toast city and they know it...

They are scrambling to get points but everytime they say something, it only gets worse....duh, I wonder why?

And where is the NG in Florida? Seems like a couple hundred people died there and hardly any help from the Feds?

Oh well, when you elect a dufus, this is what we get...

51. Shrub is dumber in the head than a hog is in the ass!
And he's the GOPer's LEADER? If he's the best they've got I'd hate like hell to see their worst! If Gawd was on America's side we wouldn't be getting the porking we're getting now! It's time to shitcan that fool and put someone in there that at least has a working brain! If the Freepers can't take the change of command that is sure to come in January they should GET OUT!

I hear Iraq is "liberated" now, maybe the FReeps would fit in there!

52. No kidding...Bush is their LEADER?? WTF is that??
God is so far mum in telling BushCo where the answers are...that gatta tell you something.

Freepers are deluded into thinking this Shrub is the best coming down the pike....

They don't even know Bush is using them....after all who is in the Military, it ain't them rich dudes..das fer sure.....its us small toads, and that includes freepers too.

Dumb and Dumber, take a look at the whole picture, nothing but mess ups and excuses....we lost 1.5 million jobs, DOW went down 2000 points from the time he took over, America is afraid of its own shadow, and now we bringing home those over seas troops...

Damn....

59. Jeffro Bush ciphers at a 6th grade level, at best!
Sir Shrubby can't even do his times and goes-in-tas when Poppy or Unka Dicky sez, "Hey Bushco, Cipher Sumpin' fer UMurkkkia!" I think he's been into the rheumatiz medicine on the sly again!

Jobs seems to be one of the hardest things for shrub to count right! America has bled 1.7 million PRODUCTION jobs that once paid well! Shrubco Inc has created 1 million Booger King jobs, that don't pay enough money to eat at Booger King! Frozen minimum the wage and not extended unemployment benefits, to the people who are jobless! The GOPers just write off the people who can't find a job when their unemployment benefits run out and tell them to eat Prozac! The misleaders are giving us the same bogus ciphering on the "recovery", as they have on every other subject!

The spinners just pick out the "Facts" they like best, to feed to us common Volk and the truth goes unreported and therefore unnoticed! If Shrub really prays, he probably prays that the truth will never be told about anything that's really happened under his watch!
