Conyers JUST MADE THE POINT at the post-conference
We never mentioned Fraud or Putting Kerry in Office. The Republicans disgraced themselves with their defensive response and "THEY KNOW WE CAN USE THIS FROM NOW ON!"

The Repubs FELL FOR IT HOOK LINE SINKER! CONYERS IS A GENIUS!

13. I just hope we can get them to show them where...
...the rest of this country can see them for what they really are. They've gotten by with hiding behind the dignity of their office for much too long. When they are forced out into the light from unde their rocks, they are truly repugnant.

10. EXACTLY. That was how they decided to play it and that is why Kerry was in

Iraq. It was the BEST way to get the Republicans ON RECORD as being AGAINST transparent, fair elections, too.

This is the BEGINNING of the real task - working towards a full study of the election process and the machines and to work TOWARDS free, fair and TRANSPARENT voting for all citizens.

19. yeah, who says the Dems aren't unified?
We were unified in the primaries. We were unified at the Democratic National Convention. And we are still unified now.

20. I didn't see the post-conference but.......
... I don't really see how "The Repubs FELL FOR IT HOOK LINE SINKER!"

I don't think they fell for anything.

I agree with you that "We never mentioned Fraud or Putting Kerry in Office" and yes, they were defensive and looked stupid to many- but they don't care about the people that thought they looked stupid (many of us). They knew exactly what they were doing. They were trying to shift the focus of what the Dems were saying and attack. They were playing to the people who already believe every word they say and confusing the issue.
