Like 2000-It's our guy v. Bush, the media and Nader again
The media is just all over Edwards and Kerry trashing them every chance they get.

Yet a Bush and Cheney who lied us into war, lied and continue to lie in report after report, have a felon or two in the White House (Plame outing)aren't being raked over the coals.

Since writing these news outlets doesn't seem to change a thing we need to out hustle, fund raise like hell and produce a voter turnout to shock them out of their anchor chairs. We need to stay charge for 4 solid months to beat these critters.

We also have that crook Jeb Bush working like hell to control voting in Florida.

Let's not get "Gored" again.

1. November can't come soon enough

One of the differences I see this time around is that Bush now has a record to run on, and it's deplorable. Back in 2000 I think more voters were willing to give him a chance. It's only my perception though and I could be wrong.

Even if the economy is picking up, the damage done by long-term unemployment doesn't turn around that quickly. Many people have lost life savings, retirement, pulled kids out of college, lost their family homes, etc. over the past few years.

We also have two very competent candidates who make a dynamic and energetic team, and the perfect antithesis to those two other men who smirk and sneer their way through press conferences and interviews. To hear either Kerry or Edwards speak, or to see pictures of them on the campaign trail, you forget there are opposition candidates running.

I agree though, the next four months require a lot of hard work. I'm still not sure what the answer is to those infuriating, suspiciously timed terror alerts. I guess the administration is just trying to remind people who's still in charge. This latest one about the elections has been the most transparent so far. These little dirty tricks and lies are more of a threat than Bush/Cheney are as candidates.

2. Didn't you read the memo,
the one that told them to do that. They evidently do not have a mind of their own anymore.
