Excellent Michael Moore letter today- remember not to cave!!!
I was rather inspired by Michael Moore's letter in my inbox today (I'm sure it's on his website) reminding us not to be apologetic, not to cower like abuse victims when we get called sore losers and conspiracy crackpots. We should not play victims. So as the people who are continuing to fight the good fight, we need to remember that, and I want to say, good on you DUers!

1. The Democratic Party is still strong no matter what Fox news may say.
I am in agreement with Mr. Moore on this topic. I watch a lot of Fox news anymore even though I find it disgusting, but I do it to see what new angle the right is coming from in giving their minions all the newest barbs and slurs to regurgitate whenever they who seem to lack the capacity for independent thought run up on someone who does have the capacity.

Lately Fox news has been spoon feeding the entire "group think" crowd that the Democratic party is dead, dying, crushed, or at the very least crumbling. I post on a very Republican dominated forum out of Augusta GA and have kind of made it my goal to try to reason with these people and told them just today when hit with the standard answer of how the Democratic party is out of touch and basically a dinosaur, informed them that if that were true that we would not have come within a mere 120,000 votes of defeating a sitting President during a war. It is always fun to remind them that no matter how many times they repeat a Fox news lie, it will never make it the truth.

2. And the irony is,
as they are all looking at how the Democratic party is having problems (which I don't really believe we would be if we just stopped listening to them- we were never more united!), the Republican party is being hijacked. THEY are the party in trouble, as traditional Republicans will have to wake up and realize that Bush is everything that Republicans claim to abhor- MORE government control, LESS freedom, fiscal irresponsibility and wild spending into deficit, not even remotely neutral on foreign policy as he aggressively goes after other nations. These things are not Republican policies, and I think at some point, they will have to wake from their stupor and realize they have been marching behind a fraud simply because he labeled himself a Republican.

5. Well thank you.....
for the nice welcome. That's something I rarely get where I usually post. I am their token lib, but in fact they wouldn't know what to do without me, other than agree with each other to the point of boring themselves right on into a nap.

3. It may just be me
I dont know it may just be me, I have followed Michael Moore since 1999 and i have seen him change, his word are more powerful then ever, his convictions are stronger then ever, He is more focused then ever before.

7. Either he does not believe that fraud took place,
or it is not yet time.

He keeps his site updated with all of the latest news though.

9. I hear you, have had a few thoughts that way, but...

MM had a huge "must read" section the other day that focused solely on election fraud and surrounding activities. His site gets mega hits, so I doubt he would focus attention on it if it weren't important to him.

I have a very strong feeling that MM has something up his sleeve. I'm not ready to give up on him - he has to be one of the wittiest people ever.

I also want to say (as I've stated before) that MM did a sixty-something city tour in thirty-something days right before the Selection -- so he must have been wiped out and clinically depressed on Nov 3.

He has also been targeted for an IRS audit (that will occupy a bit of your time, huh? I can't imagine!)

10. Something up his sleeve indeed...
Look at this message from his must read on 7 Dec, the day Ohio certified the vote.

"Everyday hundreds of emails are sent to the Must Read, and over the past month an increasing number of them have been about election problems in Ohio and elsewhere. Today we will focus only on this chatter. As always, not everything on the internet is true--sometimes very little on the internet is true. "

I don't not know how to make text bold but...I found this message especially interesting.

"Everyday we discover more unknown unknowns--but things will not be necessarily continuous... read on carefully."

13. Click on the link, and go to the bottom of the page
Click on "previous must read"
Repeat until you get to the Dec 7th post. I tried, to link directly, but it would not work.
