The Fix Is In
The final push to put McBush/Paleney in the White House started this morning. If you watched any mainstream media this morning you could see it, they all fell right in line with the corporate bosses. It is clear that this is going to be a huge challenge for the Democratic Party. They are not only running against the Republicans, they're running against the media as well. It's so plain to see, notice that all the Palin scandals are not even being discussed AT ALL!! The entire Democratic Party (particularly high profile politicians) have to get up off their asses TODAY and start getting in the faces of these liars on the TV. If they don't do this it's over.

5. Paleney
Palin/Cheney

Although she's really just Bush on steriods. I swear she's the perfect replacement for him. Don't you think that the people really running the country want her as the puppet? They have no use for McCain, but she is exactly what they need to finish the job of destroying the middle class and the constitution.

4. As the sage Yogi said: "It ain't over till it's over".
Never give up, never stop fighting until the fight is over. Do not give in to despair and hopelessness. The fix is not final no matter how hard they try.

6. That's right. Forget that the election is TWO MONTHS from now.
You're right, it's over. Finito. Too bad we didn't heed your brilliant, sage advice.

9. Did I say that?
Where did I say it was over? The fix is in if the media has their way. I believe the argument is people better get off their asses now.

10. One of the reasons we've lost the last two elections...
is because we take ourselves out of the fight. Accusations of cheating, bias, etc, while true, do not win elections. Our best chance at winning is by fighting back.

11. Morning Joe was blatant this morning
*They showed* Obama laughing about McCain being the change agent.

*They skipped\cut* Obama talking about all McCain's campaign staff being lobbyists.

*They then showed* Obama stating "they must think you are stupid"

Okay so they took Obama's 20-30 second statement and cut it down to 5 seconds. Then without even adding the context of the other 20-25 seconds they asked "Was Obama's answer too flippant"?

Really...WTF!

12. You are absolutely right.
You DO NOT win by practicing the night before. YOU WIN by starting weeks, months or even years before. Do you think all those Gold Medal winners at the Olympics started the day before? No. They started early and they did not stop until they held that Gold Medal in their hands. That is how you win.
