Sorry Folks... Democrats Ain't Gonna Make It!! It Matters NOT What

[ChiciB1]

any polls indicate, we will win SOME... but you can fuggeddaboudit when it somes to the "close" races, they will be FRAUDED!!!

IT'S going to happen again, it's just too easy to "fix" a few machines here and there! If I am wrong there will be no happier person than I, but given ALL THAT HAS transpired these past six years... HOPE is gone and TRUST isn't far behind!

Maybe I'm in an especially bad mood today, but seeing ALL that's going on at MSNBC any confidence I might have been feelings has FADED into the sunset!

Yeah, I know... a freaking bummer! To all of you who feel the need to pray... well it's time right now. I lelt the prayer thing to others a long time ago.!

And that's not something I came by lightly... I was an extreme Catholic who did it all once before, NOW I find it HOPELESS!

Please America PROVE ME WRONG!!!

[SmokingJacket]

1. Don't watch so much teevee.

They WANT you to lose hope!!!

[gully]

2. Even if they win the close ones via fraud

we'll probably pick up the house.

[elehhhhna]

85. We can stay in court 'til '08 . FINE BY ME. We're better of with NO congress

than a stolen congress.

[SouthernBelle82]

3. A part of me thinks you're right

but it's not over yet. Chris on Stephanie Miller's show not long ago also made a good point that they're not going to just come out and say they're going tolose. Remember the republicans like to frame the debate first so that's what they are doing. Reverse psychology I think. That they're going to play like they're winning and will win. Everyone just has to keep working hard. Don't find it hopeless and if they do steal it again fight and get other people to fight and do whatever you can.

[ShortnFiery]

4. It's not over - go vote in large numbers ...

I'm not giving up. If the votes are fixed there WILL be an outcry THIS TIME. Why? Some of these races are NOT even close. It won't be so easy for Rove to ask Diebold to make Republicans win.

This will be the final *test* BUT WE ALL MUST VOTE ON NOVEMBER 7TH!

[LSparkle]

5. That's EXACTLY why MSRNC/GE is having this "day of politics"

They WANT you to think it's less likely, they WANT us to start having second thoughts! I'm not advocating cockiness (leave that to the asshats on the other side) but we MUST NOT BUY INTO ROVECO'S TRAP!

With the exception (very early today) of David Gregory, all the hosts have leaned right. Wait for Keith later -- he'll give us some TRUTH about how things stand.

[ShortnFiery]

43. And Andrea Mitchel just dragged the cat in the form of

Tom Delay so he could trash Nancy Pelosi.

It cracks me up in a funny way that he would fear an intelligent, attractive, assertive and "cute as a button" petite WOMAN. :P

What PANSIES the Republicans seem to be.

Boo! Future Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi and Her Boys (Reps Rangle and Conyers) are gonna get ya! :rofl: There you have it, misogyny and racism in one statement. :puke: Bugga bugga bugga BOO! They're gonna legalize A-bortion on demand, let those evil gays marry and take yer guns away! Earl! Let's go vote, that little woman looks scary ... not! :P

Can the Right Wingers be any more ignorant? They get these middle American people to vote on one issue as they steal their jobs or lower their pay. And what do they say, "Thank you, almighty authoritarian leaders ... punish us more but don't allow them to take my claymores or the Cal. 50 I have mounted on da roof. :wow: :shrug:

[Monkeyman]

6. Go to the polls and watch

Please everyone stop the defeatist talk

[redqueen]

7. You want America to prove you wrong?

Why not try to prove yourself wrong?

Call everyone in your precinct.

Knock on every door in your neighborhood.

Spread the good word - we can do better. We will, if given the chance.

[ChiciB1]

72. Thank You For Reminding Others Here That "Activism" Is So

important! I certainly have supported that notion for a very long time! I AM very active! I volunteer, call, march in parades, sign petitions, pass out fliers, stand on corners... you name it I am involved! Even so if I dug deeper I could do more, But how many are doing NORTHING??

In truth most people avoid "talking politics" until it becomes a focus of any conversation. Anyone who knows me knows that "politics" is more likely than not to come up in some sort of way. I have no shame regarding this. But how many people do you know, outside of of your political circle, who would risk having another person pass judgment on them for their political views???

Money & Image... it kind of overtakes everything else! Ain't NOTHING like a good dose of cynicism to bring reality home! Unfortunately, as one who tries NOT to hate anything, I really do hate the fact that I feel the way I do! Plenty of blame to go around, problem is.... what can be done about it?

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. You don't mind if I vote, do you?

:shrug: And I don't pray.

[roamer65]

9. Like Greg Palast says...

we have to MAKE them steal it. We have to make it obvious, if they are going to try it.

[helderheid]

10. This is exactly why we need to keep our distances in the polls and vote in droves

DROVES. it needs to be OBVIOUS it was stolen.

[leftchick]

28. we voted in droves in 2004

or tried to. I thought it was obvious that one was stolen. Hell I thought it obvious since 2000!

:argh:

[helderheid]

30. but like you said (it was you, right?) we now have Dean at the helm of the DNC

helm of the DNC

[leftchick]

35. I didn't say it but....

When I saw him on TV today all I could think of was, at least he knows it will be stolen when it is. He will do something about it.

[helderheid]

54. Given he had a hands on demonstration as to how to, he most certainly is aware!

[Freddie Stubbs]

125. Republicans voted in droves too

They might not be as excited to vote this time.

[bullimiami]

132. we voted in droves and it was obvious in 2004. you are correct.

what choice do we have but to keep on doing it even if we keep getting used?

none.

hopefully, what is obvious to us, becomes obvious to enough others to tip the balance.

[Doctor_J]

60. It was obvious last time and the time before that

What does that have to do with anything?

[Double T]

11. The corporate MSM under direction from the WH..........

is playing with your head.

[saltpoint]

12. Tell ya what. You go out and see Martin Scorsese's new film THE DEPARTED

this evening or tomorrow.

Enjoy it. It's really well-done. A bit violent, definitely, but polished and powerful.

Then come back and just send out some positive vibes for the blue team.

We're gonna flip the House and we're neck-and-neck on the home stretch for the Senate.

Now that ain't a bad place.

There's going to be attempts at fraud, but the numbers right now suggest that even the most corrupt Republicans aren't going to be able to get away with much this time.

Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, yes.

But not this time.

[StellaBlue]

68. I second that

The Departed was excellent. DiCaprio's best. Ever.

[saltpoint]

82. Hi, StellaBlue. You mention DiCaprio -- he was shockingly good in

this role.

I think Scorsese and DiCaprio have an understanding. They don't seem to be the same kinds of people but they seem to respect each other enough to form a whole new level.

And the rest of the cast was good also -- especially the police shrink. My god was she excellent or what?

Scorsese had me in this one at the corner store scene at the very first, as the Stones did "Gimme Shelter" in the sountrack.

Hell of a picture.

[StellaBlue]

88. I thought she was the weak point, actually

Her cat eyes, which always seemed to be made of water to me, I can't explain... she annoys me. And I cannot remember what else I have seen her in.

Anyway, yes, DiCaprio WAS shockingly good. I want to see it again just for his performance. It was flawless. I am in awe. I think the fact that he has aged a little and doesn't look so baby-faced anymore has helped him. But it was beyond that. He was just excellent in this film. As near perfect as I have seen on screen. Because he was so good, the ending was especially riveting. Oh, man... I have to go see it again.

[saltpoint]

89. Good plan. A group of Democrats and I are going to see it again

tomorrow evening.

The soundtrack keeps haunting me. Opera, The Stones, jazz... Scorsese is a wizard with many hidden rooms.

Great film.

[ChiciB1]

73. Don't You Dare Make Me Want to Hope!!

I could use so many quotes using the word "fiddle" right now and it somehow comforts me. Sure that kind of thinking is paranoid, but NOT to be paranoid sets you up for "the fall" and I want to SOAR sometime!

Crusoe, you & I think alike... I've read your posts many times, could be your optimism it "RIGHT ON"! I feel a bit dumped on and see too much apathy right now, America needs a good kick in the ASS right now. When Habeas Corpus got screwed with it took air out of my balloon, which wasn't too full to begin with!

[saltpoint]

83. ChiciB1, you're one of the brave ones, and that's a fact.

Your apprehension about U.S. democracy is understandable, IMO, and no one can say the Rove era or the Lee Atwater before it has done anything to assuage our fears.

On the other hand, quite literally millions of people told the little monkey not to invade Iraq, and the little monkey didn't listen.

He ordered it, he has to eat it.

And except for the technicality of not being on the ballot this year, he's on it more than any other single Republican almost.

And he's not going to win.

Catch the Scorsese film no matter what -- it packs a punch -- and in the next couple of weeks, we'll all give a hard shove to put a huge majority of Democrats into Congress.

I'm with ya.

[ChiciB1]

86. AAAHHH... You've Been Around... We Are Liberals Now Aren't We? n/t

[saltpoint]

87. We are, and we're gonna kick some Republican fanny in 2 weeks.

[ChiciB1]

90. And As Jackson Browne Would Say....

There Are Lives In The Balance! The message is clear but the task ahead is monumental!

[saltpoint]

112. Anybody who drags in Jackson Browne at a time like this and

quotes a song like "Lives in the Balance" --

-- is A-OK with me.

I love it.

[ChiciB1]

116. Thank You... A Very Powerful Song & I'm One Of His Biggest

fans! In fact I've actually ordered his Greatest Hits twice.... by mistake! Oh well, I did ruin a cassette tape of his once by playing it over and over and over!!!

[saltpoint]

118. I join you in the Jackson Browne fan club division. Jackson Browne has

saved me on many a rainy night over many decades now.

His politics I love, and the music too.

"The Great Song Traveler passed through here
And he opened my eyes to the view
And I was among those who called him a prophet
And I asked him what was true..."

Damn, what a genious.

[ChiciB1]

120. I Want More! Last Time I Saw Him Was When "The Boss" Toured

around the country before 2004! He wasn't dominate, but he was there. He wrote some superb songs in the 80's that fit in so well with what is going on today! Amazing!

[saltpoint]

121. You bet. He sent a check to Ned Lamont for the primary Senate race

in Connecticut.

That was the last political mention of him I've come across, but I imagine he's actively following these midterms.

[ChiciB1]

123. I DID Hear About That.... n/t

[Mad_Dem_X]

109. Hope you're right!

I'm a little tired of the doomsday predictions on DU. I really think people are waking up, and we have a great shot at both houses. The Repukes will try to cheat, but I don't believe they'll get very far with it because, like I said, people are waking up.

[saltpoint]

114. Yep. It's harder to cheat when your own base is declaring you

incompetent.

In the past 2 or 3 elections cycles at least, the Rethugs could cheat more easily because an assured percentage of their base was already in the bag.

Not so this time, and any cheating would be far more detectable and suspicious.

[LeftCoast]

13. FUD Kills

Fear

Uncertainty

Doubt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Where BFEE will cheat if they have to?

MISSOURI !!! The only toss up state with a Republican governor.

Here's why:

The latest prediction for the Senate, according to Rasmussen (fake polls to justify fraud after the election), shows:

Democrats - 47 Seats
Republicans - 48 Seats

Five states are toss ups. Here are the latest numbers for these races:

Democrats Ahead
MONTANA - TESTER 48% BURNS 46% (Mason Dixon 10-24) - Up 2% - Democrat Gov Sweitzer
NEW JERSEY - MENENDEZ 48% KEAN 39% (Monmouth Univ 10-22) - Up 9% - Democrat Gov Corzine

Republicans Ahead - Where they will cheat if they have to. They need at least two of these to get to 50-50 with Cheney's vote:
MISSOURI - TALENT 50% MCCASKILL 47% (Zogby 10-19) - Up 3% - Republican Gov Blunt
TENNESSEE - CORKER 50% FORD 42% (Zogby 10-19) - Up 8% - Democrat Gov Bresden
VIRGINIA - ALLEN 47% WEBB 43% (Mason Dixon 10-23) - Up 4% - Democrat Gov Kaine

[nickinSTL]

23. what does a Repub governor have to do with it?

the elections are under the supervision of the Secretary of State, and ours is a Dem, Robin Carnahan.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

95. what does the governor have to do with it? two words. Jeb

bush. I am just worried about you. Wasn't it in Missouri that they
tried the voter id card?

[Hippo_Tron]

100. Jeb also had Katherine Harris

Or I should say as of January Former Congresswoman and failed Senate Candidate Katherine Harris.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

101. Ah,,,,, Poetic Justice. But, oh, such a sad pawn.... nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

102. seriously, they control the recounts and they decide alone whether

or not the election will be certified. Once it is, it's over.

[Marblehead]

14. another play

from Hitler's germany, they rigged the vote as well...

[HereSince1628]

15. Visit my counselor...Mr Johnny Walker, meet Chic

You definitely need happy hour!

[meegbear]

16. Thanks ... remind me to contact you if I ever have to get major surgery done ...

you'll be a great morale booster for me.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. !

:evilgrin:

[stopbush]

17. Surprisingly, MSNBC has been beating up on the Rs all day long.

They have been slamming the racist anti-Ford (TN) ad and calling GOP guests on it. All they
have offered - from melman to Matlin - are avoidance of the question and lies, and it shows
very, very clearly in the coverage.

Yes - MSNBC overbooked R guests for today, but they are NOT getting their spin across at all.

On edit: Pre-Foley, Tweety was foaming over bush's "climb in the polls." "He's at 42%. If he
gains 2 points a week until the election he'll be at 50% and the Rs win." He actualy said that...but
then, shit happens, doesn;t it?

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

19. Funny. I just listened to Larry O'Donnell on Franken

& he said we're going to win even bigger than expected. Said that the repugs are saying the same thing. I think I'll take O'Donnell's word for it. I think he knows quite a bit.

I'll just go ahead & volunteer & vote too.

Hey, this isn't the River Styx. :evilgrin: We're going to take back the House, at least. All the numbers point to that. We have a real shot at the Senate.

Don't be so bummed out. Go down to the Dem HQ and stuff envelopes and drink bad coffee for a few hours.

That'll bring you back to the land of the living.:evilgrin:

[Bluebear]

24. 'stuff envelopes and drink bad coffee for a few hours'

Indeed. :)

[WilliamPitt]

22. You're concerned.

[Warren DeMontague]

104. Ah, concern.

Concern, concern concern.

That's what I was going to say to the OP- Thank You! For your concern.

...

[Demobrat]

25. You're right of course.

These thugs are not going to let a little thing like an election strip them of their power.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. Then we GOTV in record #s so they can't cheat!

[helderheid]

31. they can still cheat that way but we need to make it as obvious as possible

that they did.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. Well we will do what we have to do! Their crap won't keep me from

voting!

[Doctor_J]

62. And then what?

:shrug:

[helderheid]

84. So what if we expose election fraud?

[Doctor_J]

93. Yes, - it's already been exposed in FL 2000, and OH 2004

what good will exposing it again do?

[helderheid]

115. I think we may have the MSM's ear this time

[springhill]

127. I don't think they care if it is obvious or not............

really. I mean they will take the chance of riots in the streets if it means holding onto their power? Why? Because one, they have an agenda for the world that they aren't about to let go of now that they have it, and two, they can't afford investigations of all their illegal activities. They are desperate people in so many ways. And truthfully, if there are riots and protests on the streets, how will that be handled by our government? Hell, we could all end up in Gitmo.

Now, does that mean I am not voting? Absolutely not. Even though in my gut I don't think they will relinquish power, I am hoping and yes, praying, that I am wrong.

[corkhead]

26. Save the pitty party for Nov. 8. I'll join in. But until then NGU. Peace out.

[stella]

29. If Democrats can`t win after all this mess with

Republicans in charge,we never well.

[OneBlueSky]

32. I'm inclined to agree, except for the fact that this election . . .

is going to be the biggest Democratic landslide since LBJ in 1964 . . .

they're certainly going to TRY everything in their power to fix enough races to maintain control of Congress, but the turnout and the large Democratic margins could be too much too overcome without being totally obvious . . . I know that being totally obvious has never stopped them before, but this year the electorate is in no mood for it . . .

it's gonna be one hell of an interesting election night, that's for sure . . .

I refuse to be defeatist about this. If and when elections are stolen, I will be in the streets again like I was in January 2005. Hopefully more of yous guys (and the Democratic party leadership) will be joining me.

[ryanus]

52. Sometimes I think the effort now is not necessarily to win the election

but to make it close enough that people won't challenge stolen elections. If people at least believe that the election results are possible, then I think the powers to be will be confident that they can swing some results and not have a revolution.

[Mr_Spock]

53. Uggh!

It's the old "if we lose, I called it and it WAS fraud" argument.

If you disagree, you must prove a negative (which is impossible) "PROVE ME WRONG!!"

This is not helpful.

[Fovea]

55. But this time, the fraud is out in the main stream

and people will bleed if they do it again.

I think this time, direct action.

However, the repukes hate science, and all scientists are not all wrong all the time.?.

It's going well politically, and people are aware of the fraud now. Stay vigilant, active and angry.

63. You have proven yourself wrong

Get a hold of yourself. In the few weeks prior to an election, these thugs use mind control tactics to convince people to give up, or become disinterested now that it looks like we'll win.

Fight. Fight for your mind. You are not in jail, but the Rethugs are doing their damnedest to make you think you are. And that is enough.

And by the way, you are spreading your fear through your post here. We are all concerned. But we must not give up this close to elections or your viewpoint will prevail.

Not to mention how you are over prayer. Here's a link for you--no matter what happens come election day, seek enlightenment.

What possible good does this wailing and gnashing of teeth do you, or any of us?

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

the Senate, no. Just my opinion, course I was way wrong in 2002 and 2004 with my intuition. The 2002 results will always puzzle me, how long has diabold been counting?

[Stand and Fight]

69. We cannot and will not fail.

There is too much at stake here. Stay strong. You are not alone. I know it seems like dark days are ahead, but there dark days are for the Bush and his enablers. Stay strong, ChiciB1! Never stop fighting! Never give up!

Now he agrees with me on one thing: If the dems don't take the house it will be a case of straight out fraud. period. and no one will see it for anything but fraud. The country won't stand for it this time.

I'm hopeful.

(hope - coming from the future ex. Who woulda thunk?)

[AikidoSoul]

92. Exit polls will say a lot

The Florida effort to squash exit polls failed today. A similar Ohio court case is in limbo to my knowledge.

Voter exit polls are the most accurate kind of poll. They're used in other countries to determine if voting fraud was committed. If they are conducted here in all the states, it will say a lot if the Diebold and ES & S tabulation results differ. They differed whee Bush stole the election and the pollsters wondered "how we could have gotten it so wrong".

Methinks they are getting it now.:patriot:

[NuttyFluffers]

94. well then, if you assume it's over, prepare for the Civil War part 2

your choice. either you fix it peacefully now... or you plan to fix it violently later. see, the way the world is now it WILL realign itself (and it's dangerously leaning towards all-out violence), because there is too much falling apart because of neo-con stances right now. two choices, that's it, and sitting on your ass and letting it all go to hell isn't an allowed choice. so, should i sign you up for Civil War II preparations since you're writing off elections?

or should we just all write you off?...

103. 1st Prize for 'MOST USELESS POST OF THE DAY'. Congratulations!

[ChiciB1]

106. Thank You All For Your Comments Here... I'm Actually Very Happy To See

that it generated so much interest. I'm one who has advocated being as ACTIVE as you can be ALL THE TIME! I have found that sometimes one of my biggest problems is my inability to get responses on issues regarding activism!

Coming in through the back door does work at times. I take no offense by comments stating how "stupid" this post was, I think I accomplished what I wanted to. It's heartwarming to see others thinking positively about Nov. 7th. Seeing these responses maybe there will be enough energy to "do something" if we see FRAUD again.

I have been pushing two points lately.... GET OUT THE VOTE, and Don't Let Your Guard Down! I've already voted here by absentee in The District Of Cruella, and have been doing LOTS AND LOTS of campaigning locally and even gave away more money than I should have.

Living in Florida where it all seems to have begun in earnest back in 2000 has made me more angry than some, has given me less HOPE than some and has made me actually shy away from trusting very much. Maybe the message IS getting out there.... I want what has happened to America of late to be a MEMORY, albeit a bitter one!

[deaniac21]

107. Frauded is not a word.

113. Oddly enough, "defrauded" *is*.

135. (a) No, since it's not even a word, and...

... (b) look up the meaning of the word "would" and "were", in my "would mean" and "were a word". In for the general concept, look up the word "subjunctive" (it's opposed to imperative, indicative, etc.).

[deaniac21]

138. Wouldn't that be (as opposed to imperative, indicative, etc.)?

[ChiciB1]

134. I Know That... And Neither Is Irregardless!

I sometimes say I'm "pollitikkin" too when I go out and campaign for others. I mean no malice!

I dun got sum edjumacation onst!

[BlooInBloo]

136. I don't know which is my favorite non-word....

"irregardless" or "misunderestimate".

What a wonderful Celebrity Death Match *that* would be.

:rofl:

110. Hiding doomsday thread... nt

[spanone]

111. Hiding negative democratic threads. This helps no one.

[LostinVA]

119. You got it... except, it DOES help someone

The Freeps LOVE reading this stuff.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

117. BULLSHIT like this is what HIDE THREAD is all about.

So long, loser.

[ChiciB1]

122. Must Apologize I Guess... I'm Not Aware Of The HIDE THREAD

terminology so my intent wasn't to "screw" anyone. I still do think many of us have some healthy skepticism about the upcoming election, however that does not mean I've given up! Seeing that others haven't given up is a morale booster to me.

If it's a barn-burner for us I'll be thrilled, if not... we need to get MAD AS HELL!!!

[kwyjibo]

124. Tell you what... I don't pray, but let's pray together.

This is important enough, don't you think?

[CoffeeCat]

126. It does suck and things are horrible...

...but you CAN'T give up!! There is still hope! As long as there
are patriotic Americans with breath in their lungs....there is hope!!

You are part of that hope...so use your anger and your disgust to
motivate you!!

Did't you know that adrenaline is a powerful weapon against corruption, vote stealing
and garden-variety Fascism? Get pumped up, vote, volunteer to be a poll worker,
call people on election day and offer to drive them to the polls!

Seriously!!!

Campaigns all over the country need people to drive Dems to the polls. Make a
phone call or two and someone will put you to work. You can speed...all the way
to the polls---knowing that you are delivering Dem votes and catapulting the
evil bastards out of Congress! Whooo hooooo!

Do it!! Do it!! Nash your teeth!!! Growl!!! You're a democracy monster!!!!
Say it with me now....Grrrrrrrrrr!!! I will not allow third-rate thugs steal
my country!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Ready.....BREAK!!!!

(Hey, what can I say...this stuff works with my kids sometimes) ;)

128. Good Reply.... We Need To Stay Angry!

I AM angry and have been for a long time, I just don't think we've done enough with our anger for quite some time. Staying Unified hasn't been a weapon we've used a lot of lately either.

[OllieLotte]

129. Yep...you are right. You convinced me, I'm gonna stay home. n/t

[ChiciB1]

133. NOT! I'm Goading People To React & Get Some Fire In Their

BELLY! Having tried on numerous occasions to point out that we must stay vigilant and unified by saying it outright, I rarely get much response.

Indications are that Democrats look to win, but I'm sure there are thousands of us here who have some very healthy thoughts about how the other side will play dirty again! We need to be prepared and ready to FIGHT BACK THIS TIME!!

How many times have we seen our leaders Puff Up and then POOF that's all we get?? Over and over I've said, it's "We The People" who will have to do the heavy lifting. I previously admitted that the Habeas Corpus shoot down was pretty much the last straw for me, and it SHOULD be for all of us. But as Jonathan Turley asked "where is the outrage?" THAT was a significant piece of legislation that SHOULD NEVER HAVE happened, but it did! So we wait for Nov. 8 for an indication as to which way the wind will blow.

I say again, PRAY that we SHALL OVERCOME, but they play low ball and they play it dirty! Then it's back to business as usual. THIS TIME we MUST react with FIRE IN OUR BELLY!! THIRTEEN DAYS!

[bullimiami]

131. im afraid you are right. we will see. please go vote and do your best to

fight the animals.

fighting back is all we have.

[NEDem]

137. You're right. I give up. Lets all give up!

ChiciB1 says we're fucked so come on lets all give up!!!
