I have no hope.
I'm convinced that Bush is going to win.

God knows what kind of shit we're gonna see in the next four years. Bush as a lame duck, now there's a scary thought.

8. Maybe it's just me
but if I felt that way...I certainly would not share that sentiment with the group. I'd just keep it to myself!

16. Hang in there pal!
Don't let all the nastyness and negativity on this thread bother you. What you need now is encouragement. We WILL win, but ONLY if YOU get out there and do your part.

You can make the difference. Call your local Democratic Party headquarters and ask what you can do.

:)

20. Don't give in to the anti-Kerry hype but keep working and think positive
The Repubs didn't let their bad poll numbers get them down and it is obvious that media has continuously downplayed polls and stories that favor Kerry. Why should we give up this early? Their fairy tale convention glossing over the failures of the past four years is over and the campaign is really just starting. Harsh reality and negative stories working against Bushco have mushroomed this past week with front page coverage of Iraq violence, Medicare costs escalating, Bush's sorry service record, plus Kerry has come out swinging and looking good in the media this week. And Kitty Kelley's book turns the tables on Bushco.

I went to Dem headquarters to get more yard signs and bumper stickers this week and distributed them and am sending in a letter to the editor about Bush's broken campaign promises from 4 years ago and his new promises he has failed to do anything about in the past 4 years.

23. the fact that you still post shows you still have hope
If you truly had no hope you would retreat into a shell.
Focus on the part of you that still has enough hope to express your fear.

25. Don't worry
In the end, they don't even have enough grunts and gunships to control itsy-bitsy Iraq. How are they, ultimately, going to control us? The people still have the power, or, as they said in Vietnam: "The enemy gets a vote."

26. Oh jeez, maybe we should just disband the DU, tell Kerry to concede,
and while we're at it, every democrat in the house and in the senate should just resign. Hey, let's go all the way and ask Great Britain to take us back as a colony.

Let me ask all of you gloom and doom naysayers a question. How many of you are working to get people registered and to get out the vote? How many have volunteered to be precinct captains and to assist in swaying voters who are leaning or undecided?

Come on people, make some phone calls. Find out what you can do locally. On Monday, I made more than 100 phone calls to people who had said that they wanted to help get Kerry elected. The vast majority all of a sudden had better things to do, and felt that getting a free sign to stick in their yards was the maximum effort they could make.

Quit making excuses, and get to work guys. I know that there are many on DU who are already doing more than their share, but many of us could be doing a lot more. When I go back tomorrow I hope to God that I hear fewer excuses; we need people on the ground on the local level to WIN this election. It's not John Kerry's campaign, it is OUR campaign.

weird that you don't feel the need to give a reason.

But don't bother anyway, it was a rhetorical question.

28. I just got my Newsweek
and guess what? The polls in it says that Kerry's popularity has almost come back to pre-repukealin convention levels. This is 7 weeks before the election. I was down also right after the convention , but Bush's military record is in shamebles, and it's sticking. He can't talk about economy without talking about jobs that are going overseas...His "leave no child behind" is a crock because the kids are studying for tests, not for knowledge. He's gonna reinstate the draft for his phoney war on Iraq....I don't know....you think maybe JFK can pull something out of his hat and win this thingy?

31. I only opened this thread so I could put you on ignore. . .
I'm well aware of the rules, and I'm not supposed to announce that I've done this, but I have no desire to participate anymore in your mindless drivel. If I could post an alert on you I would, but I don't believe the rules allow alerts for disgust with cowardice.

32. I think I just fell in love with you, Journeyman
this is the most disgusting post I've viewed in weeks. Months even.

And the author hasn't bothered to post ONE fucking reply.

Not ONE.

35. Look at it this way...
When last we checked, it was:

Al Gore: 50,996,039

Brainless Chimp: 50,456,141

Do you REALLY think any of those Gore voters are gonna kiss the Chimp's butt this time around? I doubt it!

Now consider this: Since 2000, MILLIONS have lost their job, and millions MORE have slipped into poverty.

If even a FEW of these folks voted for the Simian Moron last time, I expect that they are ready to do some serious some 're-thinking'.

Add in the millions who have watched their retirement funds dwindle, and add a touch of disgruntled military vets, and you have President John Kerry.

This CAN be done. Just don't let the FOX whores whisper defeatist poison into your ears, OK?
