Reply #21: come on people...there is no chess game

really...what's up with just admitting that this ex-Skull and Bones guy is an establishment Democrat that has more in common with the right wing of the Democratic Party than the liberal one?

It's funny how we in DU try to find a positive to every Kerry move, when there really isn't one.

What occured in the Congress (the actions of Republicans) will probably be lauded by conservatives in this country. We only convinced more Democrats that fraud occured (which is a good thing). But, it wasn't a Machiavellian Kerry chess game strategy...

Now I say it...let's get over it. Don't get over that they stole the election, but get over the continued crying about it. Thousands of elections have been stolen and the people of those nations have focused their efforts on making sure it never happens again. That's what we have to do (and didn't do in 2000).

Continuing to fantasize about Kerry is not going to lead us there.

As for the Republicans...yeah, they got away with it. But they will rue the day they did, because in their arrogance and extremism, their party is digging their grave. The American peolple will one day realize the extremism of that party, and the Republican party will forever be associated with that, just like the Nazis destroyed any chance of conservative politics in Germany.

Let them overextend themselves...and as for us, weren't we musicians, artists, doctors, engineers, teachers, etc. before Bush? Let's go back to being those things...and let Bush dig his own grave.

Sorry for the defeatist tone of my post...but it would be the greater crime to convert our lives into "defeat Bush" mode and ignore everything else.

Let's help Boxer and Conyers reform elections...let's stay active...but leave Bush alone. We know he stole it...we can't prove it...he did and O.J. and went free. What are we gonna do, storm the White House?
