tackling a concern about friday's debate
i'm worried that the media will attempt to take apart every kerry talking point, as a response to what happened with cheney on tuesday night.

what this is going to take is some dilligent work on the part of all of us to make sure we let our voices be heard afterwards, and all of us who have been involved in digging out the real truths continue to post them and send them on.

they can only ignore us so much. what we're doing here is making a huge difference, and the reality is WE are the spin machine this time. actual honest-to-god voters. we aren't insiders and we aren't pundits and we aren't standing for the type of trashing that the media hit gore with in 2000.

i think that, in the way the right was able to corner the radio-talk market before AAR came around, we are cornering the internet. those of us online are having a giant impact.

i don't plan on stopping.

besides flooding online polls, we have to take every opportunity ourselves to debunk what shrubbie says on friday night, and besides that we have to back kerry up with information supporting his points. we can't just cheer, we have to confirm.

we are kerry's pre-screened stump speech crowd...only we are armed with computers and "al gore's internet".

what sweet irony it would be if it were that tool which helped to bring down shrubbie and his junta.

1. Welcome to DU!
I used to live in Cleveland - moved east in 1983 from Strongsville. I am not worried a bit about w - he is half brain dead. Kerry will stomp him.
