What will it take for half of America to REALLY wake the fuck up?

[Ripley]

I went to bed more depressed than positive because it was so close. But I had positive dreams about Kerry winning both FL and OH. I am crushed right now.

But I am so angry at the idiots. I used to feel a little sorry for them because propaganda works so smoothly, they were victims. But not anymore. There has been enough evidence of these thugs, crooks and liars in the media the last few months DESPITE Media bias, there was no excuse for them to vote that way.

I wonder if another OBL 9-11 strike would wake them up?
I wonder if the FBI and CIA came out with reports on White House absolute lies and outings would do it?
I wonder if the Draft showing up in 2005 will ring a bell?
I wonder if women and doctors being imprisoned (or tried for "murder" of the person-fetus) will be a clap of thunder in their heads?

Stupid Ass looks so bad right now, I don't think he can survive another 4 years of the hard work and pressure. So are they gonna move him out and let Cheney openly run the show?

I know they cheated every which way they could, but dammit the Democrats have to take some of the blame too. How did they let the Repukes steal away populist campaigning, personality, values and IDEAS?

1. The 911

people woke up and voted Kerry, it's the the rest of the country that is asleep. Amazing

[arwalden]

2. Another 9-11? -- Civil War? (Literally.) -- Bill Of Rights Suspended?

WWII-style Detention Camps? American Gestapo? McCarthy Hearings?

3. they're willfully ignorant, and i don't know how the hell we can reach

out to people who claim "moral values" as their defining issue, or to self-described "born-again Christians". The problem is, the "average American" is a right-wing lunatic, and they're breeding like animals...

[jfern]

4. We need new media

Then we can talk about something hurting the Republicans.

This current media is too right-wing.

[madrchsod]

5. they never will unless their children

start going to war and coming home so destroyed or dead, maybe then they will rise up like the russians did. untill that time nothing will change them

[NewInNewJ.]

6. I know this sounds

bitter, and I'm praying this morning, not to be, but when my little republican nieces and nephews get drafted, I'm gonna tell them to not coming crying to me.

[Ripley]

9. I feel the same way.

My sister is one of the biggest Kool-aid imbibers around...while she is a single mother working for Orkin (in the field), can't get child support, has filed bankruptcy, has no health care to speak of, can't afford utility bills half the time, etc.

Her boys are 14 and 16 and she STILL, STILL voted for The Idiot!

The media has destroyed people's ability to make rational decisions. I sure wish rich liberals (and there are plenty in our country) would do something to fight back...where's Gore's TV? I know there's AAR, but we need big money to back 24 hour broadcasting to combat the fear-mongers.

7. 4 more years under Bush

[HughBeaumont]

8. Their kids getting drafted and killed.

And if any fucking Repub gloats today . . . I'm GOING there. Believe that.

[seraph]

10. Another attack or civil war. (nt)

[booksenkatz]

11. Go watch "Grapes of Wrath"

Not until the majority of us is living out of our broken down cars, half sick with worry about finding work, or gasoline to get to work, and finding some flour to make our fried dough dinners... not until then.

[Ripley]

13. Mmm fried dough dinners.

Sorry, I know you were being serious and the way Global Warming is headed another Dustbowl of huge proportions (in concert with floods, hurricanes, etc.) might be here soon. Those disasters combined with oil shortages will surely push the middle middle-class downward quickly into the poverty zone.

[CAC4287]

12. ...

God coming back in a blaze of glory and the sound of trumpets?

[hatrack]

14. Another massive terror attack, financial collapse, SS insolvency

Massive escalation/casualties in Iraq (likely coming right up) or major stratetic fuckup, i.e. invasion of Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Short of lots of dead kids, lots of dead civilians or lots of dead 401ks, can't see anything shaking up the sheep.

[Ripley]

15. But the scary thing is...

Lots of dead civilians happens...

I can just hear them saying "Thank God Bush was in the White House...he won't be a wimp like Kerry. He's bombing Algeria as we speak!"

Mr. No Accountability and his Army of retarded followers.

[RobinA]

16. Sorry to Say It

because I have a nephew who's 15, but the draft.
