The Lying On MSNBC Is Extraordinary Tonight
What the hell is Andrea Mitchell smoking? Says there is a trend for Bush in battlegrounds? What a lying sycophantic bitch. Buchanan claims not one poll nationally shows Kerry ahead in weeks? Huh?

Of course Tweety goes along with this merrily. These people are shameless liars.

1. "Hidden Bush Voters"
'Cause it's unpopular to say you're going to vote for Bush.

Oh, the irony!

Somebody really needs to start hammering away that this Republican hack posing as an objective journalist.

5. They need to fire that Bush whore.
Anyway, I've been refusing to let myself watch cable news for the past 2 weeks or so (minus Keith) and I feel so much better. They can take their Bush shilling and cram it right up their fat asses! I'm done!

10. I have a genuine question! Why would anyone wanting news watch....
Tweety Bird Matthews? I quit watching him on a regular basis the night before the California recall. Tonight, just now, I turned the tv back on, and just went to MS-RNC to see what they were butchering now. The crew that has been reported so much in the DU boards tonight is still on. I watched about 30 seconds. Waste of time! Watching that group for purposes of getting news is like reading Newsmax.com for news. A fool's errand. My suggestion to all(the entire listening universe) is don't watch the fool! When his ratings sink to negative territory, maybe good ole MS-RNC will pull the plug on him, just like chimpie gets his plug pulled Tuesday.

11. Luckily nobody is watching this crap
They can't analyze this election worth shit and that has been apparent ever since their one-sided debate coverage.

12. Turn on HGTV instead. Much better for you than MSNBC.
Or the Discovery Channel, or MTV if you prefer...but stop watching MSNBC (except for Keith) and CNN. The propaganda will ruin your beautiful mind!

16. It is now meaningless
The polls are only important to the extent they demoralize or energize voters. Plus, people want to support a winner and this may affect the undecideds. But at this late point, the media is spinning the race as a dead heat (even though I think Kerry actually has a meaninfgul edge) so these kinds of comments merely annoy people like us, but have no effect on the voters.

polls." She's right, and the other 80% of the polls are trending to Kerry! She didn't mention that. How can GE even pretend that she's a responsible journalist anymore? She states the repug lie, then coyly qualifies in it a way most people won't pick up on.

21. Don't let them win. You're not powerless.
Got a pair of legs? Ready to use them to put John Kerry and John Edwards in the White House?

If your election day schedule isn't full, call your local Democratic party headquarters, and tell them you want to "flush" on election day. A flusher goes door-to-door and encourages registered democrats to go to the polls.

Your local democratic party will set you up with a walking list. Some have quite sophisticated software that can target Kerry supporters, making your efforts even more productive. I was given a list of 150 in my precinct. It's going to be a nice fall day, and I'm going to get on my bike and knock on each of these doors and do my best to encourage these people to vote.

Does it matter?

You can do the same and it WILL make a difference. In a tied race, it comes down to turnout. Even if you think you are in a safe state, and especially if you are in close state. Even if you're in a state you've been told is red (like my North Carolina), your effort is now desperately needed.

We can no longer leave it up to the party, the candidate or any of the traditional apparatus. They've taken us this far, now we must return the favor. This election will be won on the depth of the team. Unlike football (Yeah, Packers!), in this contest each team can field as many players as it can muster -- and we need every last player.

YOU have to be on the field on election day!

Karl Rove has his 72-hour strategy vote-turnout machine, we can't leave it to others to respond on our behalf or we will lose. That's what this plea comes down to.

If each and every one of us mobilizes on election day, we win!

Your lunch hour or the whole beautiful day, you have to spend some time in the trenches. Imagine it: a flood of Kerry supporters, visiting their fellow citizens, down oak-lined sidewalks, across dusty field, up and down apartment steps and down the old two-lane highway.

Your encouraging reminders will prod people to vote. Your support of Kerry will enforce their belief that they're making the right decision and motivate them to vote. Hopefully you'll talk to many people who are damn sure going to vote anyway. But you will be what tips the balance -- the one that gets a few more Democratic voters to the polls, times hundreds of thousands.

The Republicans are betting you won't show up!

This election is now in your hands -- more than it has ever been in this long process. You've waited four years for this. We've discussed and argued until we were battered and bruised. And then we united. Now you must carry the ball. Not the collective you, but you the person reading this.

Call your local Democratic Party Headquarters, if your city doesn't have one, your county will. Call them first thing in the morning. Tell them you want to hit the streets with a Democratic voter list and knock on some doors on Election day. Tell them when you are available and I guarantee you they'll accommodate you.

Then follow through. Go put a smiling face on the doorsteps of the people who are going to be the margin of victory. Work hard. Come home, flip on the TV and bask in the success of what you have done.

We are on the one-yard line, don't fumble.

24. Thanks. I'm Glad I'm Not the Only One...
...who noticed the BS on MSNBC. Over the past 2 weeks (and probably more) these people have been unashamedly promoting Bush and his "leads" in the polls. It really makes you feel like there's no objective news anymore. How can these people call themselves journalists? Looks like they've de-evolved into entertainers and then outright shills.

Olbermann is the only on the whole network that's worth listening to.

I'd like to see their faces when they call the race for Kerry.....or I wonder if they'll let themselves go that far?
