Please promise me Bush won't win. *sigh*
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 10:30 PM by mzmolly
I just watched the new DVD version of F-911 and ... and can't bare the thought of 4 more years.

I am dumbfounded that the polls are even close? It's beyond scarry that Bush's spoonfed soundbites have convinced half of my countrymen to vote for him again!

Watching the poor Iraqi people/children being blown to bits by our Government FOR NO FUC*ING REASON is more than I can take. Thinking about our soldiers dying for NO FUC*ING reason is more than I can take. Watching this so called God fearing administration lie and make money of the blood off innocents is ...

And witnessing the media complacency throughout this MESS is beyond frightening. The media is supposed to represent the truth/the people is it not? We are supposed to have a FREE press are we not?

* This administration has perpetuated a nightmare of historic proportions ... I honestly don't think I can remain in this country if * is elected/selected again.

:(

2. I am tempted to do just that
I am extremely reluctant to count chickens before they hatch, but things keep looking better and better for Kerry these days.

6. Rejoice the forces of light are rushing to America's defense.
GW Custer is exposed as his deceitful true form as we speak. WE have to do our part and drag every right thinking person to the polls. Do not wait for Nov. 2. Find out when early voting starts in your state and start that day to GOTV. We can and will cure our government of the Evil disease that has infected it. It does not stop with GW Custer. But it does start there. We have to work smart strong and long every minute from now on. We can and will return the US Government to the Rule and Service of the PEOPLE.

Remember

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

7. I just watched F-911 1st time tonight, too.
How can anyone just shirk all of this evidence off?? I've never read the books about the Bush dynasty and the relatioship with the Saudis but I've read lots of things on the internet about it. How can those who support this president continue to do so despite these relationships?? Do they believe this is an advantage??? I just can't figure it out. Corruption is what America is anymore. If we don't vote for change this Nov. 2nd--and I just don't mean the president but also the House and Senate, then I give up and I'm going to work on trying to prepare myself for the collapse of America. We HAVE to have change or we're through with America as we know it.

12. Keep fighting!
I am taking my 2 1/2 year old son to see Edwards tomorrow here in MN. I hate the fact that he has only lived under the Bush regime. Having a child completely changes your view of things... but in the case of King George II, it only makes me hate him more.

I'll be the one with the screaming 2 year old on his shoulders! I just hope he lasts long enough to see Edwards.

It's good to know there are people out there that think like I do

9. I'm sure that more people will cast votes for Kerry
but if those votes will be counted accurately...that's a different matter...and I'm pretty pessimistic about that. BBV.

16. Bush Has GOT to Go
I saw F9/11 for the second time in its DVD format.

I can't believe that we have endured four long years with this mush-minded rich kid in charge. I can't image taking another four years of him and his neo-con henchmen (that includes you, too, Karen Hughes). I have never felt that Duhbya was a legitimately elected president, and yet this airhead has run the country as if he won by a landslide.

I agree with the other posters....things are looking better for Kerry-Edwards. I honestly think that the more that undecide voters see Kerry in the debates, the more comfortable they become with him. Hopefully, we are seeing a slow movement in the polls toward the Democratic ticket. But this can change overnight. We have to keep plugging away. I've noticed a harsher bite to Shrub's ads, like using the "liberal" label to describe Kerry. He'll be throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, at K/E.

Let's keep working....DU those polls; write those letters to the editor; work those neighborhoods. If we can keep the momentum going, we'll RE-DEFEAT BUSH!!!

And, please,...we need to get rid of Cheney, that 3-D version of Mr. Burns, and get him to a rest home.

LET'S FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

GO KERRY-EDWARDS '04!!!

LHJ

28. What Kerry has to do in this next debate
and from here on out is continually HAMMER Smirk with the staggering Job Losses in the last 4 years and tie that in with Smirk's incredible position that Outsourcing American Jobs is GOOD!

Kerry also has to expose Smirk as being in the pocket of the Fortunate 500 and that he is a weak, amoral, paid-off puppet for greedy corporations.

Kerry should then explain how he would reform the Unfair Trade agreements Smirk blindly supports to create a level playing field for American companies and discourage outsourcing

While Kerry and Edwards have mentioned the above here and there to some extent they have NOT emphasized it nearly enough.

If Kerry wants to safely sew up Ohio and WI, he needs to make JOBS is focal point.

Since most Americans are unhappy about the economy and the horrible job market this should be a no brainer.

I'd just LOVE for Smirk to be put on the spot and have to explain why encouraging companies to offshore American Jobs is a good thing.

The Twit would meltdown even trying.

17. No.
If you want to play at politics, you have to be able to face the possibility of loss. That's the truth, and anyone who tells you different is lying.

20. 14 of our friends are DEAD. Blown to pieces in Iraq.
I don't think of it as "playing politics" any more.

19. while we're on the F-9/11 subject...
I just need to vent. I saw this film first in Germany in an english-lang. movie theater. It was full of expats and a great success. Today, I saw the movie again on DVD. And it hit me just as hard as the first time--what blatant, ruthless, vicious crime is being done to our country. The 228 years of democracy are being washed down the drain my this administration.

Mr. Bush, I fucking hate your goddamn war!!! You have no concept of what it is like to be in a war, as a soldier, a platoon commander, or a civilian being bombed on. You have no concept of pain. To you it's nothing but a means to an end. Because there are only two things you care in this world about--power and dollar signs. You would change the constitution and outlaw democratic election if you could just so you could stay in power and change the world order, so you can feed your own selfish worthless appetite. You are personally criminally responsible for every casualty of this senseless war.

I'm running out of words, I hate this bastard so much. I cannot and don't want to imagine the US and the world in 4 years in Bush is reelected. We cannot let it happen!

22. I feel the same way
but I have to remind myself that part of the strategy is to make us feel disheartened and terrified.

There is no way Bush can win, at least fairly, with an all time record number of new voters in the mix. But of course we have to be ever prepared for further criminal behavior, it will happen because they are criminals, so we can't let our guards down for a minute.

25. Ditto
I am really hoping that Canada will grant me political asylum if Bush wins(steals) this election. I know we are not particularly welcome there for longer than a visit, but I do not know how I can take another four years (and I know a LOT of people who feel that way, even in my lonely state).

30. I feel Kerry/Edwards are going
to win..but it is going to be very interesting to see how it is all plays out.

I'm planning on going to the Inaugeration..I haven't been able to go to any rallies since I don't live in a schwing state..so I'm consoling myself with going to the Best Inaugeration in History!

33. I was in Greenville, SC yesterday and saw lots of Kerry/Edwards
Edited on Sun Oct-10-04 07:02 PM by kayell
bumper stickers, and very few * stickers. Does that help?

(I think the * support is here (it is upstate SC), but I think they are too embarrased to admit it anymore)
