What Do We Do If We Lose in November Because of This? |
|
Hillary this. Obama that. Blah blah blah.
I don't want to hear any of that. What I want to hear is that McCain will not be our president and thus we will not have 4 more years of crap that has been served up to us for the past 7+ years. I want to hear that we're fixing the damage those pukes imposed upon our great nation and that we're reclaiming our rightful position as leader of the free world. I want to hear that we will not be in Iraq for the next 100 years and I want never want to hear anyone with any power having anything to do with the so-called "supply side economics".
I don't want people who don't believe in government to have any meaningful say in our government.
I don't know what I'll do if we lose in November because of the way this election is going. I don't know what I can say to these *(&%$ rightists. I really don't know, but I know I'm not going to be pleased.

here. Any country that would keep electing these pillagers (or even make the vote so close it could be stolen) isn't worth fooling with.

They represent two wings of the same bird.
Pro-big business, pro-free trade, pro-military buildup, pro-invading other nations.
Theres not a spit of difference between those two on some really important issues.

6. Same thing we did in '68. |
|
We claim the Democratic party went down the wrong path. So next election we go the opposite way and get whomped even worse.
Nominating Hillary in '12 will not heal the Democratic rift of '08. It will make HER supporters happier. But it will just reopen the wounds for everyone else.
Howard Dean in '16!

7. My concern is Barry is learning nothing from all this...he didn't reach out and |
|
connect with middle-class voters before Pennsylvania, and he had six weeks to figure it out and failed. Can't see how he's gonna change that by November, because, yes, he will be the nominee, and yes, if he can't appeal to them and stop blaming everyone else, he ain't gonna get them then. Neither Gore nor Kerry got them, and while probably both elections were stolen, if they had gotten those numbers higher, there would have been no chance to steal.

8. What was he supposed to do to connect with middle-class voters |
|
that he didn't do? Slam shots? Carry a rifle to his rallies? Hilly doesn't connect with a lot of people, and some people just aren't going to change their minds.

12. How will tht solve anything |
|
if the Big 3 create a unified No. Amer. Union? Said plan is chugging along nicely and quietly. Now that the Neo-cons have stolen all the $$$$$ from USA, they have their beady greedy lil eyes on Canada.

14. If we move to Canada, I might have a prayer if I ever get sick. |
|
With McCain I'm dead. You might be dead, too, if you have an employer providing health insurance for you. McCain wants everyone in charge of their own health care, which would be fine except for his solution. Do away with empoyer deductions for health insurance and let you buy it on your own. Average cost for a small family for high deductible, lousy insurance - $12,000.

10. Well--the Obama supporters will |
|
stomp and yell, and point fingers at us.
We'll snarl and glare and point fingers at them.
The Repukes will giggle and guffaw and laugh their fool asses off at us all.
People in other countries will continue rioting for food, American soldiers and Iraqi civilians will keep dying, China will continue to sell us cheap, poisonous crap, and inflation will totally erase the recent minimum wage increase--and then some.
Just call it intuition, I guess. *sigh*

13. WE WILL NOT LOSE TO MCCAIN!!!! |
|
That guy is stumbling all over himself on the campaign trail, showing he doesn't know who the major players are in the Iraqi civil war, doesn't "understand" deep financial theory, etc. AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO VET HIM. McCain will be his own worst enemy, and will lose in the GE by more than 100.

The Grifter can't win in November. The Iron Lady is being made to walk the plank by Democrats.
What's left?

16. We make sure we have a strong Democratic Congress |
|
to keep McCain in check till 2012 is what we do. Contrary to Bush and his Imperial Presidency this government was wisely built by the founding fathers as checks and balances. If we have a Congress with a spine we can make sure McBush can't appoint some conservative radicals to the SCOTUS. Also override him vetoing good bills from a Democratic congress.
