"Swing vote" is a sham.

[sundog]

I believe the so-called *swing vote* is simply owned by corporate media outlets. It is obvious the controllers of these outlets do not want Kerry to win. Nothing he can do will change that.

It would be in Kerry's best interest to stop beating this dead horse.

Instead, he needs to go NOW to the inner cities & truly downtrodden people of this country. This is the silent majority who can truly affect this election.

In a humble way, he needs to go and talk WITH the poor, not AT them. If these people feel there is a politician who truly gives a damn about them, they will be inspired to go vote.

Screw the swing vote. It's a corporate sham.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings...

3. I almost agree

It is time to energize those you mention.

I am also looking for a "vision thing" that brings EVERYTHING together under a single perspective...everything such as jobs, health care, children rights, environment, corporate greed, etc., etc., etc...

I am so sick and tired of hearing that we need better health care and more jobs. NO SHIT...

What we need to know is why we have pisspoor jobs, why we have a country of the haves and have-nots, why we have an environment under duress, why wages are going down, why CEO compensation is going up, why our military is engaged in war. WHY WHY WHY...Its the same its always been...the rich oligarchs and power whores who are herding us like sheep toward our own extinction.

What I want to hear is how the chosen few are in the process of enslaving the entire world for their own interests.

If we don't win this election I am moving further to the left. I support Mr. Kerry...I support him even though he supported the IWR...I support our Democrats MOST of which are NOT promoting a PRO-PEACE agenda.

I want to hear about a world of PEACE, of SOCIAL JUSTICE, of COMPASSION. "Liberal" talking points like health care rights and more jobs isn't cutting it.

If we start talking with real vision the Greens will drop right now and put 3% into our column. What is the worse that can happen? THe CEO of fucking ENron marching for lower estate taxes?

I'm getting frustrated, but I still believe in our team.

5. There is still a segment of our country that isn't controlled by...

corporate media - that's the group of which I speak.

Politicians owe a lot to the people that this country has dumped on & robbed all these years.

Time to reach out & get back to true liberal ideals.

No matter what he does, he will not please that phony "swing section."

Nothing to lose at this point.

7. Agree

The hundreds of thousands (even millions) of people marching and protesting prove that my friend.

The only power we have is in our numbers and our ideals and I trust in them.

The junta needs to be called out NOW. They need to be exposed as the crooks they are. Their visions are nothing but complete domination of the world and its resources, the annihilation of anyone, anything, or any idea that dares to dissent from them. They have sold out what is good in mankind by appealing to our ugliest, dirtiest, most vile, evil and vindictive traits of mankind.

They use a man (Jesus) who taught about love, peace, compassion and empathy to exploit 45 million “believers” so that they can go and wage a war of hatred, exploitation, death and destruction.

These people are lead by one thing: Power and money…Corporate chieftains run our country and keep us uninformed of the real issues while feeding us “Conservative” ideological talking points.

Meanwhile, children in the most powerful and wealthiest nation in the history of mankind go to school under the threat of being shot. We are killing and allowing to be killed innocent people who stand in the way of tyrannical corporatism. Laws are be written in secret, dissenters are called treasonous and the media lackeys do nothing but pedal sensationalistic bullshit, give right-wing propaganda hustlers countless hours of free air-time while subjecting anyone who dares promote a different vision (Gay Republicans for instance) with censorship under the guise of “offensiveness.”

Our nation is awash in everything that got Jesus Christ nailed to the cross and these fucking morons can’t even see it.
