As media's message intensifies, GOP hopes we stay home
MSNBC, that pillar of Liberal media, can't wait till the Democrats lose.


As Democrats' message lags, GOP awaits wins

Absolutely, keep sticking us in the eye, kicking us in the teeth, telling the world we have no message and that we suck. So Boner can make tans, inquisitions and subpoenas the norm again in Washington.


I changed my home page to Google. Fuck M$NBC.

1. I hope it backfires
I'd like to see how many GOPers will get cocky and stay home because they were told the election is a shoe-in.

We have to get our people to the polls. What will you do to help?

3. I already volunteered and will take one of my few vacation days to drive
seniors to the polls.


What are you doing?

4. I am voting with quiet determination.
I won't be polled, because I have a cell phone. I'm not acting out in public, like a moron, spouting nonsense at a Tea Party rally. I understand why progress is being hamstrung in Congress. I'm frustrated that the Dems aren't willing to force votes to make the case to elect Democrats more compelling and we have too many people in Congress that are elected as Democrats but vote the Republican agenda. I hope they lose, so we can start running real Democrats. In the meantime, I'll settle for a slimmer majority that is more cohesive on the issues. If Republicans are willing to sacrifice bi-partisanship and opting out of the process, furthering their agenda by killing the Democratic middle-class agenda, then Democrats need to follow suit. I'm old enough to remember when progressive legislation was furthered by progressive/moderate elements in both Parties...and Parties ran on a vision for this country - not the idea of 'no'.

But I will vote in November and I sincerely believe that the Corporate Media is going to be shocked when the reality on 11/3, once again, diverges from the Republican fabricated storyline.
