it's a new dawn in Demville |
|
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 10:57 PM by welshTerrier2
nuke Alito ... nuke 'em ... let the republicans use their nuclear option ... do it and you'll regret it next November when Dems take back the Senate ...
Democratic unity ... watch out all you right-wingers ... there's a new day dawning in Demville ... we are going to roll right over you and drive you out of town ... the energy is palpable ... and very little of it has been unleashed yet ...
a sleeping giant is just starting to awaken ... the old bones are still a little creaky from their long night's sleep ... there is still a little leftover timidity ... the first few steps are still a little wobbly ...
republicans had real power for a time; now they can only control those who allow themselves to be controlled ... the prison walls have been torn down long ago but the inmates don't yet realize they're free to leave ...
the Democrats still don't understand how much power they really have ... the tide has turned; with a little effort, it could become a tidal wave ...
Democrats still lack a cohesive, coherent media strategy ... it's time to take to the airwaves and buy some TV time ... it's time to layout the case for why they're doing what they're doing ... and it's time to start laying out a clear agenda for the American people ...
for the first time since election night way back in 2004, we stand united as an impenetrable force ... activism, enthusiasm, hope and unity belong to our side now; the republicans have long since lost any ability to channel such energies ... and from this new dawn, if Party leaders understand the vibration running through us, comes a brief but powerful opportunity to build a sustaining energy ...
Democratic Party unity will be a crushing force against the republicans in November if we can stay together as we are today ... that's the challenge ... today is not a day of "you stupid lefty freepers or you republican-lite DINO clones" ... today we stand together as a united force ...
I call on our Party's leaders, and their followers too, to look to the big issues and tackle them boldly ... tackle them without fearing how republicans might react or what names they might call us ... Party leaders should get out among their constituents and fire up the troops now ... they should become more visible and lead the charge both locally and in Washington ... we need to see ourselves as a movement and not just a campaign ...
and finally, we must do a better job talking about Iraq ... if anyone believes we "can't just leave", please do a better job explaining your position ... many of us see no progress and no hope in Iraq ... we don't understand why all Democrats have not pushed for Murtha's vision or something very similar ... i hope the Party's leaders reach out to all Democrats and revisit their positions on Iraq ... we've had enough of this war that has yielded nothing but death, instability and record profits for the oil industry ...
it's a new dawn in Demville ... if we have the vision to understand events as they occur, the next weeks can be far more than a single filibuster ... let's not blow it, Democrats ... let's unleash the tidal wave that will once and forever drown the tyrants and drive their minions from the halls of power ...

4. you can't fix a landslide election |
|
And we're going to have landslide wins this Fall, and in '08. That's when the fascists start going to prison.

11. I've been thinking along those lines also. Not all of the precincts |
|
are rigged. We've already lost Florida and Ohio. They are corrupt beyond repair. But, we may well get a landslide result nationwide.

9. I can see no down side to at least giving it a shot. Eventually, |
|
those who opposed him will be strongly VINDICATED. That will be after it becomes clear that every decision by Alito is exactly as we feared, if not worse.

13. Kaboom! I hope the primaries don't undo all the unity. |
|
We need a clear front runner to rally behind early. Run Al Run.

One of the best posts I ever read, Welsh. You are much better at this unity thing than I am. We all really needed to hear those words right now. Thank you!:grouphug:

17. you're too kind, samhsarah ... |
|
let's just hope we're able to build on this momentum ...
the Party needs to see itself in a different way ... and it needs to change the way we interact with each other ... hopefully, this "break through" will be the catalyst for the changes we've been seeking ...
