1. Good. At least they stopped calling us whiners. |
|
;-)
And btw, they'll come to rue the day they called us bitterenders, because as long as we're not happy, Wall Street ain't going to be happy.

5. Hey, everyone, bask in the glow of the attention.... |
|
....you betcha they're gonna be calling us all kinds of names before this one's over.
Enjoy it because a rag like the WSJ is not going to spill a drop of ink on something that isn't starting to concern their backroomboys.
Give'um more and more reason to be concerned by shipping them data, analysis, field reports, ...., and do it all with the cold, cool effectiveness of folk who know what they are defending and have absolutely no intention of allowing this invalid national election to stand.
Peace.

6. The Wall Street Journal continues to lose all credibility as a news source |
|
Blackwell is not suspect because he is a black Republican, its because of his ties to the Bush reelection campaign! Also, if Democrats were planning on stealing this election or future elections, wouldn't we be quiet about all the possible ways to fix or disenfranchise votes? In fact, we are working hard to make elections fair for everyone, not just Democrats.

We are at the bitter end of democracy, and you bet I'm hanging on and fighting until there's no fight left.
Of course, it's the same term applied to the Iraqi insurgents a while back, which is certainly not a coincidence.

It was an opinion column. The opinion came from a rightist parrot speaking merely their tired old talking points. Why complain? Under that premise ya might as well write an email every damn day to the producer of Sean Hannity's radio show, or tv show. Complain every damn day to the media outlet broadcasting Rush. Gimme a break.
We way we don't want to be called whiners, well maybe we shouldn't whine so much each time an OPINION column comes out that we don't like. Have no misdirection, THIS WAS NOT a MSM article.
What would be more beneficial, IMHO, is writing them and asking that a counterpoint Opinion article be written, or if one would be published that is submitted.

14. The editors of WSJ - feh! |
|
What color is the sky on the world they live on?
BTW - I read the WSJ every day, its an excellent business newspaper. But there is a definite time/space continuum distortion on the Editorial pages, their screeds against the U.N. are classic John Birch Society circa 1958.

17. Happy to sign up as a bitterender. |

Because that is a wonderful description of this movement.
Fighting until the bitter end. And if we are defeated in this fight, it will be the bitter end of a wonderful system of government.
BITTERENDER. that's me
