Did things turn on a dime?
Last week there was a horrible feeling in the air with the Republican convention going on and Bush getting a very slight bounce and now everything seems to be going the direction they went before the whole stupid swiftboat shit came out. It gives me some measure of hope.

1. It seems so,
but that just means that it is time for a TERRA ALERT!

7. Yes with a very long preamble about how it has absolutely
nothing to do with the election. Orange with traces of red I would guess. However, as with the last one, they will wait until Sunday afternoon to avoid a panic where somebody might get trampled or hurt.

3. I never doubted things would turn around.
I just feel it. As long as we keep pushing as hard or harder than the Repubs, we'll do okay.

Soon, I am going to start going door-to-door for voter registration. I've only just begun! I have the forms, now to find the time!:bounce:

5. The battle sways back and forth,
but each time we press forward their lines grow weaker and fall back farther.

6. Yes

It sure did. And it's all downhill from here for the Cartel. Can't you feel it? Even during the dark moments of last week I never doubted it.

8. just goes to show you how well they talk shit...
their words are very powerful and sentimental and such... but after a while reality sets in... so no matter what they say, ppl are dying in iraq... ppl are getting poorer... college, medicine and healthcare are getting more expensive... jobs are disappearing... ppl do not feel like they are at war, and mostly, ppl are seeing on a daily basis that this country is going in the wrong direction.

10. Bush is saving his trump card for the last few weeks leading to Nov 2
We have not seen the last of the horrible tricks this man has to play. He knows his support is going to waste away, but can be temporarily revitalized with an event wherein he can be perceived to be leading, and so he will create this event right before the election to get that temporary boost he needs to get 4 more years on the throne he has usurped.

Watch, you will see.

11. Yes,
(and continuing my play),

but we fall back no farther than necessary, reform and press forward again.

If we had good discipline, this would be a matter of course, not a matter of hysteria -- real or feigned.

I mean those idiots the neos do it regularly, why don't we?

We know that "events" have been planned -- or will be made up on the fly. But thus forearmed, why let it bother us?

12. And Kerry you can bet is behind a lot of this.

People forget, he is a street fighter and it is beginning to show. He always said that if anything was said about his wife that all bets were off.Well, they have repeatedly gone after her.And Thereza said that she would marshall her resources if they ever attacked his honor.Well, they did that too.Buckle your seatbelts,this is going to be a bumpy ride!Texans For Truth, and Barnes are only the start.As Schneider of CNN said, if Gore had used this stuff in 2000, Bush would have been hurt. Schneider doesn't think this will make much of an impression. Maybe not alone it won't but as John Edwards said"You watch".Go Team!
