people we can DO this, keep yer spirits up
Attn: DUers of all stripes, shapes, and sizes...

I just want to say that, with the election less than a week away, you gotta keep your spirits up & your hopes high. We can DO this.

Bushbutt-lickin cable news bobbleheads don't pick the next President. WE do.

Salacious slurs and flagrantly fallacious flip-flop flaps don't pick the next President. WE do.

Methodologically malodorous polls, however overmuchly magnified by mean-spirited mammon-worshipping media magnates, don't pick the next President. WE do.

Brownshirted bullyboy voter-intimidators and rePugnant poll purgers don't pick the next President. WE do.

Frothing-mouthed freepers and squeamish squawking chickenhawks don't pick the next President. WE do.

WE do it by pounding the pavement, by banging the phones, by nagging our neighbors, by reminding our relatives, by coercing our colleages, in short by hopping on every soapbox on every corner in the land and making sure our voices are heard. We do it by making sure we do anything and everything it takes to get folks off their duffs and into the voting booths.

My friends, despite whatever mealymouthed rhetoric you've heard, despite the last-minute fearmongering and dangerous demagoguery that is currently oozing out of the Bushista campaign and their hydraheaded surrogates that infest the upper reaches of the cable channels, the truth is on OUR SIDE now, and we're going to send these right-winging, fright-spinning, spite-gleaning hacks packing, right back to the neoconservative sinkholes they crawled out of.

THAT's the October surprise, folks: the American people are gonna rise up and VOTE, and nothing's gonna stop them.

So hold on, and keep your chins up. We're gonna do this thing, I can feel it in my bones. And after we've succeeded in this herculean endeavor, take a deep breath and get ready to do it again. Because once the polls close and the pundits (at last!) fall silent, the REAL WORK of restoring the promise of America begins.

So who's with me?
