Why BushCo Will Lose, or, The Rise of The Serious People.
I went to a John Kerry Campus Tour event in Pittsburgh today. I posted my recollections about it here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x502186

The point is, I have noticed that more and more people are taking BushCo and Iraq seriously. I mean, SERIOUSLY.

I had drinks with an ex-Marine and she and I and my friend were visibly upset the whole time. We talked about Iraq.

I saw so many people with serious eyes today. I know so many people that saw and heard me lose my mind about BushCo last March who didn't see it then, but now they see it.

Once you really see BushCo, you sober the fuck up.

I know we have the media to defeat, but we DU readers and other informed citizens are having an effect. We are in deadly serious trouble and we are right to be on high alert and, finally, people ARE waking up. It is slow, so slow, but it is happening.

Keep flapping your jaws. Send them to Air America. Rip apart Faux News in public. Put those bumper stickers on your cars. Email and call and mail congress and the media whores.

We are going to win. These piece of shit pharoahs are not going to take us with them.

We are going to win.

5. Thanks for the post! My favorite line is:
"Once you really see BushCo, you sober the fuck up."

8. I totally f*cking agree
And here's my dirty little secret, (I was once for the Iraq War..shhh) but never voted Republican ever ever, so whatever that tells you. I don't take well to being lied to, and I know I'm not the only moderate Dem to feel that way.

9. Once you really see BushCo, you sober the fuck up
My favorite line in the post, too. Seriously, though, I can attest that I have lost some of my humor over the past year. For good reason, I think.

I've got a party at my house tomorrow. I'm leaving some lefty books lying out and about. Want to make sure what's important gets talked about...

Losing is NOT an option.

Kerry with 54% of the vote - MANDATE TO GOVERN.
