Stay alert, Stay vigiliante.
Folks, the right wing machine is not going to sleep. If anything, it is in full gear now that they've lost big time. We must all be awake right now and watch the bastards. Do you really think that the RW is going to 'reach out across partty lines' like Dumbya is pretending? Watch these people and record what they're doing. This is more than history being made, this is winning back our country from those who stronged arm it from us in 2000.

Stay awake, Stay vigilante!

1. Probably not
I've only been interested in politics since around 2001 (before 9/11), but thanks to this political season we've had to endure, I've become cynical. You know the Freep Creeps, right-wingers and the rest of 'em will pounce on any Democratic mistake now, no matter how small.

But a dirty trick? I dunno. They're out of power now. Maybe it's time to put aside this cynicism that a right-wing Congress, Senate and White House has instilled in me.

2. Dirty tricks have become synonymous with the Republic ian party.
Watchfulness, wakefulness, alertness, these have become to be associated with the Democrats.

Stay tune and watch the rethugs challenge this.

3. That's true
But because of our victory, I'm ready to let go of some of this cynicism. But yeah, we probably should be vigilant.

8. I think so ....
and when we say right wing that means their base especially...some of these people are really crazy. I won't ever put anything past them and if everyone has been watching over the years they would know that they can never ever,ever,ever, ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever be trusted just as they say that the terrorist wait for years they wait and plan.

I watch their every move or word when it comes to the ones I can see...When they give a speech or any comment read between the lines because they are smiling in your face and planning to stab you in the back...

9. Oh.....
Edited on Thu Nov-09-06 05:13 PM by icymist
I had thought from the content of the message that the definition was going to be 'ever awake and alert'! I guess the DU will always have it's jokers.

Thank you Swamp Rat

Still everyone, be awake, be alert!

'godly fumigation', that's exactly what these misguided people are about.
