let's get a better attitude about Alito.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

After all, he'll ascend to the position of Reich-Marshall very soon, no matter what Dems try. Here's some fresh Alito strategy speculation. Now, imagine me as a Senator, I know that's a spooky thought for those of you who've read my boards but please bear with me a minute. Anyhow, the opposition says "Okay, we're appointing another Nazi to your high courts for a few decades." I know in my heart these Nazis will overturn Roe V Wade and I also realize the long-term social ramifications of that action. I just say "Okay, put the Nazi in and your Religious Right wing backers will learn a hard lesson along with your daughters AND mine. Also, the backlash on your party will last for a very long time." Enjoy those extra house/senate seats while you can because the waiters are about to shoe you away from the feeding troughs sooner than you know. Bye the way, if you repukes can't understand the King's English, let me say "bye bye" in your native tongue, "OINK OINK."

1. This sounds like Nader's "Provocateur" rationalization.

I'm tired of enduring right-wing insanity to get a progressive payoff at some undetermined point in the future.

I'm sure the progressive Germans felt the same way in the late thirties. Look what they had to go through.

These people have to be stopped. Every day, until they pack it in.

3. I'm with you.

These fascist bastards have to be fought, tooth and nail, everyday, in every place. I am afraid that is going to start getting real physical, real fast. We need to all be ready...

4. ok dhalgren

I was born in the birthplace of the Republic Philadelphia, PA, raised in AL and MA. I've lived in a lot of other states and marched in the late 60s and even more in the very early 70s, saw Jerry Reuben speak at the U of A live when I was a kid and I know the difference between a real call to activism and a weak online bluff by people who will do nothing but continue to lay down for the tyrant, while screaming "you bad guys just wait and see, like I'm going to do."

BTW, my heart always lives in MO, the "SHOW ME STATE."

5. Yeah. I grew up in Alabama - so I have lived behind the

Republican Iron Curtain my whole life. I also grew up in the sixties and I have been to jail for my beliefs, so we are on the same page, I guess. In the sixties and early seventies, people didn't accept the way our government behaved as "politics as usual" and we have to stop accepting it now. Am I as "rough and ready" now as I was 35 years ago, probably not; but that doesn't mean I won't fight. We are all going to have to make some choices very soon. In 1969 the choice was very easy; the blatant fascism in control our nation today makes our choice, now, more difficult and more urgent...

6. Conservatism will not be stopped until the average voter wants it stopped.

With the ignorance in this country and the media on the side of the conservatives, the average voter will not demand a change until he/she is hurt enough by Conservatives. There is nothing we can do about that.

Our strategy is based on telling people how bad the repukes are but in people's personal lives, not enough has happened for them to take notice.

The way to beat the conservatives is to constantly put up alternatives to the Conservatives agenda. When the public is ready for a change they will have something to change to. As it is, all we do is say how bad the repukes are rather than offering an alternative and some of us even go along with the repuke agenda.

Health care, offer a single payer system that covers everyone. Don't be afraid of the right wing slams we will get. Soon they will begin to look like the ogres.

The Iraq war, have a plan to end the war and bring the troops home ASAP. Never mind the right wing slams, soon everyone will want the war to end.

Jobs, offer works programs rebuilding infrastructure. Never mind the right wing slams, soon more and more people will want those jobs.

The economy and taxes, reverse the tax cuts for the wealthy. Never mind the right wing slams, soon everyone will want to go back to a balanced budget.

And the beat goes on.
