The Sky Is Falling........Again.
Will some of you back away from the panic button for Christ's sake. In case you didn't notice, hundreds of thousands of people protested that asshole Bush on the Sunday IN FRONT OF HIS CONVENTION SITE, have you EVER seen that before?

The goddamn RNC is a fucking morgue, their hopes lie with a bunch of Vets who are in need of serious therapy, and looking more petty by the day. They are stomping all over the graves of the 9/11 dead and looking ridiculous doing it. Ghouliani was absolutely embarrasing. The whole thing reeks of a revival meeting. Contrary to popular belief, Arnold is not the answer, he's a moeron.

The Democratic Convention was on fire. The turnout is the key and it will be huge.

Let things develop. What, are you all of a sudden going to sit this one out?

5. And this is in a month where the campaign did no
spending and constant barrage from the SBV and the GOP. And all GWB can do is tie. So why are people willing to give up?

14. That's right
I think we have a lot of disrupters here, who are doing this on purpose.

People need to remember, DON'T FEED THE MONSTERS. We've got 2 whole months to go yet. Kerry survived Vietnam, he knows how to fight.

Ye of little faith.

4. Doomsayers may be read by GOP who will see a weakness and use it.
If not you are really just proving your all talk and no action.

7. That was the largest protest for a convention in US History.
For what it's worth. 400,000 people? Unprecedented.

Totally peaceful. That can't feel good to the other side. Can you imagine if those kinds of numbers had turned out, say, against Clinton in 1996? You can't write off all those people as "wild-eyed Bush haters". They took the time to come out. That's a strong statement of opposition, and it makes me think that the "likely voters" calculations the major polling organizations are basing their more bush-positive numbers on are completely irrelevant- due to the depth and strength of the anti-Bush sentiment.

9. It actually is falling...
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 06:41 PM by GmoneyOwnsAll
Look people. The reality is that we cant win Ohio of Florida. Ohio is Diebolded to the max, Jeb is Floridas dictator. A couple of other states that are scaring me are Maryland and California. Maryland is Diebolded to the max and so is California. Sorry but I think we are going to wake up on November 3rd to a dark reality. And our country will be lost forever unless we start a revolution. As I have said in past threads, we should all be preparing a national protest. If we can get 400,000 just for the RNC in NY. We should be getting millions ready for when Bush steals it again (he will) in DC.

12. We don't need Ohio or Florida.
They can't Diebold Cal without loosing two million votes. I'm not sure about Maryland, but there are a whole lot people paying close attention to this shit and if it's shady, we'll know. And if on Nov3 they stole it, then yeah, revolution.

Talking heads on MSNBC now are unaware that signs behind them say "Mission NOT Accomplished - Two More Months," "Pink Slip for Bush" and others.

It is so darn funny!

Their Bush lovefest is being upstaged by these protesters. Perfect!

17. It's called facing reality.
There are lots of people, not just DU'ers, who feel Kerry is not campaigning to his full potential. Do you think it is coincidental that there are rumors of shake-ups? And it is not the "nay-sayers" here that are causing this. That's giving us a bit too much credit (or blame, depending on your point of view.)

And you know what, even if Kerry is guaranteed a win, I still want to see some attitude. I want to see him show Bush he can't be toyed with. I want to see Bush squirm.
