Will you take a perverse pleasure
in 06 or 07 or so, when the nation is broke, under attack, having a civil war, or whatever the end of the BFEE looks like, happens? Knowing that you did your best to prevent it, but were just overrun by the GOP media machine and corruption? Can you take some comfort in the fact that we were just overmatched in money, influence, media access, and the depravity needed to lie, smear, and cheat?

1. No - I'll cry some more
This grief and horror seems to be the kind that was built to last.

3. Pleasure, no, but I LOVE saying "I told you so"
ESPECIALLY when I know it will make people angry.

4. No
And that is why I am working my butt off to make sure it doesn't happen.

I may move to Ohio to work for Kerry, who was hardly my first choice.

Bush can lose because, at some point, even the most brain dead will see what a screw up this adminstration is.

Bush spent more money than Gore and Gore still won.

Screwing up matters. It will catch up to Bush and I hope it is before November.

5. hell no!
Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 08:12 PM by debannbull
I'll be damning every play-it-safer-er who listened to the media whores and voted for Mr Most Electable and not with their heart, for the one person who had the passion and the guts to reinvigorate this party: Dr Dean.

I live and hope, and am still organizing at the grassroots level cause if shrub wins we'll be sunk: the "supremes" will corrupt the consitution, his cronies will destroy the environment and the economy, doom world peace,

and it will take generations to recover...

if we manage to survive that long...

6. No, think of the children.
Really though. Although like some others have said, I do get a perverse pleasure out of saying, "I told you so."

7. Well, I won't feel guilty or that I didn't do enough.
But I will be very sad.

8. overmatched?
We are certainly not overmatched, we have enough money, we have access to the media and combatting lies and smears is simplicity oitself, the truth tends to shine brightly.

We are simply defeating ourselves because the leadership of the Democratic Party chooses not to separate itself from Bush!
