what will your one-point be to people who start bashing what happened

[KaliTracy]

yesterday?

I think mine today will be:

Since when is wanting equality Not a Moral Value?

1. it won't happen, most people do not care

it mattered in 2000, it is a non-event now

the only bashing will be on right wing programs

[Clark2008]

2. If they say anything, and most won't,

I'll just say DEMOCRACY.

[piece sine]

3. as if...

anyone outside of DU even noticed! Mrs. Beasley got 400 times more ink and attention, at about the exact same time. Well, at least Michael Moore is happy.

4. The Washington Post buried the story deep within the A section

and pretty much labeled it as a nuisance just to get attention for voting rights. Of course, that's the way it was presented. No one (that I saw) had the guts to say "If we'd done this in 2000 *'s election would have been overturned, maybe 9/11 wouldn't have happened and we definitely wouldn't be in Iraq killing innocent people and being killed for oil."

5. I doubt it will come up...

what with ashlee simpson getting booed and all, but if it does I will say, "Yes, you are right, we must not question Der Fuhrer".

6. Make it an issue

So voting rights, the sacred American belief that our citizens have a right to a voice in how their government operates, must fall to a suspect War On Terrorism. If we are fighting to bring voting rights and the benefits of Democracy to Iraqis we can surely fight to bring them to all Americans.

7. Yeah...............

we can see how well that Democracy thing is coming along in Iraq. :eyes: You could say that we're doing just as well with our Democracy here at home. They both bite the big one.

8. I'll say

That at least we had the balls to do it. regardless of the outcome. We saw something as a threat to our basic political system and we decided to fight and for a movement that gets no press and won't for the forseeable future we still got some to listen and accomplished one more senator than they did in 2000. We tried. It sucks that it turned out to be mostly futile but, we tried to rescue our democracy from itself. In 10 years I hope there's enough of us left around to say I told you so.
