Edited on Wed Feb-01-06 09:52 AM by SCRUBDASHRUB
How many more elections do we have to lose? I'm pissed!

Everytime I hear some elected official (D) on TV saying how we don't want to focus on the negative and want to focus on hopefulness, I can just see KKKarl Rove smirking, ready to smack us down again. Grrrrrrrr....:mad:

Some people say "don't go negative." Well, unfortunately, negative ads work. Sorry folks.

I say we need to fight fire with fire!! Perhaps I'll catch heat (no pun intended) for this, but I want my country back, damnit!

1. As someone else suggested
Vote those who are weak in both parties - out of office. (if there is such a thing as a clean election that is)

3. What happened last night with Cindy, for example. Utterly unacceptable.
The woman was exercising her first amendment right and was arrested. This is bullshit!

5. You're right on both counts there (clean elections, especially).

2. Dems have had five years.
And at almost every opportunity, they behave the same nonconfrontational way. And DUers (rightly) get pissed off.

Lather, rinse, repeat...

I kinda sense a pattern. And the laws of inertia aren't going to allow for much change any time soon, IMO.

4. Dems play nice and bushie dumps on them
A-lie-to is a great example.

And piss on the Dems who allowed this to happen.

But then those Dems don't give a damn -- they just want to stay on the gravy train.

7. Yes and this makes them no better than the republicans IMO
How are we going to change a darn thing if we allow them to keep their jobs? No more gravy for them.

8. Corporate media adds to the problem.
I've stopped watching Tweety, but I'm just one person. That talking-points-spewing moron has a large audience who listens; furthermore, when I did watch him, he would put up weak Dems to counter Repukes. Ugh!
