didn't manage to sway the electorate. i resolutely refuse. it must, repeat must, have been jacked. absolutely, positively. we have never, ever had voter mobilization like this. never, ever had GOTV efforts like this, never had the influence of 527's like this...something is horribly skewed.

please keep this kicked. i have a feeling i'm not the only one thinking this right now.

4. Of course they swayed the electorate
bush* went from 93% to barely a majority, if that.

5. The lying, cheating swine Bushbot kool aid drinkers stole this one and
the media made it easier for them by fawning over the Chimp for 31/2 years.

8. it pains me so much to say this
We lost. I checked the numbers for the heavily democratic county I campaigned in here in WV went to Bush. It was the home county of our governor that won by a huge margin, and they still voted for Bush. Moral issues did it. I had a feeling WV would go red, and I had accepted that, but I wanted to say that Marion county went for Kerry, it didn't. I didn't pull through on my part for John Kerry. Sorry John.

9. and in my opinion
continuing to think that you were robbed or cheated will keep us all heading down the same path, making the same mistakes again and again.

Face the facts.
The majority of voters in this country do NOT agree with the picture that we have painted them of who we are, what we represent and what we want.

To say that they're wrong for their opinions is to discount our own opinions. For us to make headway there HAS to be compromise on OUR part to change what we project to the rest of the country.

Michael Moore provided us with a great presentation of HIS impressions which a lot of us agreed with and cherished, but that the majority of this country saw as only the work of a wacko.
We NEED to work within the framefork of the status quo.

My own idea is that we present ourselves as being too different and until we open our minds and our hearts to grabbing a half loaf instead of the whole loaf, we're going to continue to be empty handed when it comes to elections.

10. It's called voter apathy
The scary thing is... if they couldn't get out for this election.. will they ever?
