[grannie4peace]

1. i think so too :):):)

[Egnever]

2. no chance we lose this one

there's a lot of stupid Americans out there but the mcsame tart ticket reaches a level of idiocy not even the dumbest American can ignore.

[RagAss]

7. The GOP....."A Confederacy of Dunces"....

phrase from the classic novel by John Kennedy Toole.....

[cliffordu]

26. Great book.

[gizmo1979]

10. I've said it a million times

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

[Egnever]

12. when mcsame gets a crowd of over 5k without bussing them in

I will start to worry. Till then I feel pretty confident that this thing is going to be a landslide.

[DJ13]

3. I thought that the last two times

:shrug:

[JohnnyLib2]

17. 62,040,610 voters--

for Bush in 2004.

[RagAss]

27. So they say.

[Sparkly]

4. So were the last two.

No matter how idiotic the GOP ticket, we can't take anything for granted!

[NoQuarter]

15. Amen!

We cannot stress this point enough.

It's not the numbers at the rallies that count. It's the numbers at the polls, and these people will march en mass in lockstep to the polls and vote McCain/Palin without a second thought.

5. Could it be any more evident?

[NYC_SKP]

6. Then we'd better get busy educating people.

Because, sadly, many among the electorate are not the brightest lights in the marquee.

Education, that's what will win, phonebanking, GOTV, the ground game.

:patriot:

[panader0]

8. Agreed

But be careful. A couple of weeks ago I was complaining about the ignorance of the average voter and suggested a test similar to the one immigrants must take. Basic knowledge of our political system. I was thinking about it at the time because my teens were taking their driving tests, and it seemed that if a 16 year old should have to have basic knowledge to drive, shouldn't a voter have to have basic knowledge to vote. Well, I got my ass handed to me, saying that this was akin to the old Jim Crow laws and could promote discrimination. Is it discrimination to make people take a test to drive?

[RagAss]

9. No ... and I agree 100% with you....

[Emit]

11. I'm bookmarking to for when I go door to door later this weekend

I won't use it until or unless I have to, but I know a few of the folks I'll be discussing this with and I'm game on your summation.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. WORD.

[wmbrew0206]

14. Do you really think referring to the second female VP pick as a "Tart" is a good idea?

I hope you only say something like that on these boards because if you used it with undecided or independants, you are doing more harm than good to Obama's cause.

[TahitiNut]

18. Well, I would've said "Old Fart and Pop Tart" ...

... but I like alliteration. :shrug:

[RagAss]

20. Yeh....In this case I do...

[wmbrew0206]

29. Wow, just wow.

[NotThisTime]

16. My sensationally bright 13 year old has already said that & it's true....

[tandem5]

19. Are there not enough differences between the two sets of candidates...

that we can avoid lowering ourselves, completely, to the depths of ageism and sexism?

[Blue-Jay]

21. Half of the people in the US are of below average IQ.

[RagAss]

22. Scary

[MH1]

23. If it is, then we're doomed.

The American electorate has already failed this test twice in a row. Why do we think they might pass this time? x(

[BlooInBloo]

24. Yup. That's why we might lose.

[cliffordu]

25. DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNAH!!!!

kicked.

[Veruca Salt]

28. Totally right.....

If we lose this one... I'm moving to the UK or Canada for reals. x(

[mmonk]

30. Indeed, it most certainly is.

[Orsino]

31. Then we have already failed it...

...by taking seriously even for one moment a continuation of the Culture of Death.
