TRUE or FALSE : The Bush Regime will do anything to win next election
Just a reminder to keep in focus the type of enemy we and the rest of America are confronting. They are the al Qaeda of America. They are terrorists. They survive by promoting fear.

We know what they did to take over in the 2000 election. In the primary, they resorted to some of the dirtiest tactics witnessed in a very long time, in South Carolina, to defeat John McCain. John McCain may be able to forget what they did to him but we should not.

As if that was not a signal of what type of regime we were fighting, we then witnessed their tactics in full blossom in the Florida "recount" that never was. They were going to take the White House - no matter if they had to get the Supreme Court to rule in their favor - which is what they did.

So, we cannot forget just how ruthless and power hungry this regime is, and the type of fight that lies ahead. They will not go quietly into the night. It is a fight to the finish. It is us and the rest of America against the most destructive right-wing regime ever to hold power in our nation's Capitol. Let us not lose focus.

5. Remember on Meet the Press bush said "I'm not gonna lose"
That was more than confidence there was a cockiness about him. Like he knows he has many trump cards to pull up to the election. I don't think he thinks he can lose. If he's down in the polls leading to the election then plan B goes into place. That plan could be anything, but the point is he don't plan to lose no matter what.

6. Of course it's true. bush* cannot afford to lose his grip on the country
now. Too many lies, too many crimes, too many dirty deals and deeds may come to light. Remember, the BFEE still thinks Jeb has a shot at the White House. Well, not if all the dirty laundry from the current pResident gets a good airing. They just have too damn much to hide.

10. Can you say ...
Nuclear attack?
Martial law?
Diebold voting machines?

Given the horrors of #'s 1 & 2, we should be thankful all we're up against at this point is Katherine Harris and black box voting.

11. The Brown Shirt thing they did in Fla only underscores the depths these
monsters would dive to.

First the Fix is IN, then they laugh at us, "Get over it". "We won and its too late"

Anything to win is not a class act by any means.

They are just waiting for his numbers to dip below the 40's and bang "Breaking News, Osama found hiding in a fox whole, just outside Pakistan."

15. They will do *everything within their power* to win,
but it is the things that are outside their power that will be their downfall (think Richard Clarke, no WMDs, etc).

19. Why don't we fight fire with fire?
We know the different dirty tricks the Pubs have pulled. Why don't we do the same?

Don;t tell me we shouldn't stoop to that level! BS! If your enemy is shooting bullets at you, you don't throw rocks back!

I think it's aparent that playing fair doesn't work.

How about planning a counter suggestive phone call made to voters on October 30 & 31. Something that has just a tinge of truth but very misleading. Like "How would you feel about George Bush if you knew he paid for his girlfriend's abortion?"

There has been a rumor like that ya know.

22. NO! Not Acceptable!
To lie on the phone will continue the drone
The decline of the spine that we feel.
If we ditch our veracity, the Bushies' tenacity
Will come back to haunt us for real!

The things that they play with, we CAN'T get away with
No matter how hard that we wish it.
But we're FAR from toothless, the TRUTH can be ruthless!
This they cannot take, so let's DISH it!

28. He won't have to....
resort to any of the above to "win" the election because most of his supporters support him in those ideas...or policies. No doubt, he has a good majority already blindly convinced that he is the best thing since sliced bread, no matter if he screws them equally with the rest of America. Because they are adequately deficient in reason to know the difference. It is not they that he will have to maim, burn, or kill because they are soldiers in his little crusade...They are accomplices as much as Condi Rice, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Wolfowitz, and the others are accomplices. Their hands are not clean. They helped with the decisions now being made in our name. They can be proud of their participation but I will not be a party to such arrogance and irrationality...

27. True. And we have to be prepared for anything.
We've already had a spat of break-ins. We know one election was stolen. We suspect the next was rigged. Skippy went to war because he thought it would be easy, and thus a campaign issue in his favor. He's a liar, a true sociopath, and I think the only limit on what he does is the inability to imagine it.

30. Well, if GWB loses, don't expect him or his people to "go away"
The Bushes are known for nursing resentments and holding bitter grudges; we can count on them trying to monkeywrench anything progressives attempt. It's war, and we should all be prepared to be in it for the long haul.

32. Well, they've probably got bigger plans....
than breaking into some office... that's for sure.
I'm hopping that we have a little sumthin' to pull out of the bag as the big day approaches..... but I doubt it.
We're not sneaky and underhanded.... most of the time.

But ya know what maybe we oughta be this time out.... fire w/ fire you know.

33. This election is the biggest ever!
It's good against evil!
Fair against unjust!
Freedom against Fascism
Peace against unnecessary wars
enlightenment against hypocrisy

We have to at least try to win this thing or I'm afraid our country/world/lifestyle will be just about doomed!

34. not only try ,will steal.
That why bush was so confident when asked if he would lose re-election, he knows the fix is in .I also think the media is to blame for allowing this to happen the frist time and are continuing to help a second steal. If bush says the economy is improving ,the news reports it as fact,when the real fact is that we have a president that continues to lie over and over again to the American people ,and is never called on it. Its hard to beat a president that can lie and then have his lies indorsed by all the major news media.
