1. not about defeatism,it is about reality base and seeing the long battle
ahead. not living in a fairy tale only to be disappointed, to give up on dem, to NOT see accomplishment because expectation is TOO high and then to do the dissing of the dems when reality is we are gaining, growing strong and really it is good. just cant see the good cause of the picture one creates in your mind. there is a difference between reality and big picture, illusion and pessimism.

12. See, no hope at all.
I'll just be here with my KFC and a twelve pack of PBR, parked in front of the teevee and weeping in my bathrobe.

:pals: LOL!

4. Diebold will steal the vote, there is no use for any threads except this one.
This is a point I will bring into any discussion and still fail to do anything about, or tell anyone what they can do about.

NOTE: This post is sarcastic.

20. Not defeatest to suggest that expectations are being set too high
From many quarters come the suggestion that this is a Dem WAVE that will sweep the country and sweep the repukes out of office. If Dems do well, but don't have a WAVE, it will be considered a sorry-showing once again by those, incompetent, hapless Dems. So, be optimistic and realistic, but don't set ourselves up for criticism for not getting what some predicted. It is a game well played by repuke pundits.

21. People should not be trying to depress others. Even if it is un-intentional.
Get out the vote and stop apathy already. We are supposed to be motivating each other. Well said OP. :bounce: I'm exicited for election night. Dems will win with numbers TOO BIG TO IGNORE !

I have no evidence for any arguments about anything, but whatever it is, I'm sure Diebold is at fault.
