4. Considering
the tone, why would s/he contribute more? I have been here MUCH longer than you and the nastiness, unfortunately, has started to prevail. Yes, we come together during pressing times, and that is very important. That said, where the hell are manners?

5. Pretty broad brush there...
hardly 'cowards' to a man/woman, on the contrary 25 stayed on the deck till the last. Or did I misconstrue your meaning--were you talking about my tone being nasty or his/hers? SG

7. Yours, SG...
you know the "flies with honey" euphanism? I am not trying to be hateful but DAMN, the nastiness towards "new" posters is uncalled for. Until they show their "true" colors, of course.

Thanks for your reply!

Peace!

Jenn

8. HOW DARE YOU...
... question my commitment to a fairer America?

BOTH FEET???!!!

I've given up everything I had to fight against the corporatists, including a lucrative computer consulting business. I've been fighting in the trenches since the summer of 2000. I started MakeThemAccountable.com in October of 2000.

We don't need your kind of hatefulness on our side.

2. Again I say this is a blip compared to the huge
amount of problems for Bush in 2006. We all know what the truth is and I still believe in this new age of the blogosphere. We now have learned a lesson about the power of the internet, and did all these petitions/e-mails/phone calls etc too late. We need to focus on protecting the blogs, fighting against voter fraud and fighting the propagandist techniques used against the American people for political gain and influence.

"They" had a head start in the media on this one. Trust me the Dems right now who voted for a vote on Alito did it with a bit of "shock and awe" over the incredible effort of the people to try to fight this. They struggle with the propaganda techniques of the right, and once again although some thought they had lost this battle, it is because they are as stunned as we are that America has become so delusional and a vote in a State election is a vote, no matter how delusional. They are anticipating the inevitable flood of negative ads from the right that only need controversy as a means to lie.

I love this site because not only does it explain almost every technique "they" use. Go to the home page to see what cause the research on this site was done for.

I feel we the people are starting to figure it all out and have had enough. Our Senators are used to a legislative atmosphere ruled by these deceptive techniques. Some are beaten down and defeated, they are recovering from the political injuries of the last 3 years. We need to stand behind them in these times and let them know we understand, we forgive them, and we stand behind them for the greater cause of taking back our great nation.

We will NEVER give up!!! We are the people of America and we have had quite enough! Time for the next round, and we will win this time!

I know I'm repeating this message again, as our opponents do oh so well with their message. What is different is this: my individual voice, as in contrast to Republicans who repeat the message as a group. This proves that they cannot think as themselves, in comparison to us who even when in power, question even ourselves. That diversity of opinion is what makes our Country so great. The American people need to again embrace diversity, rather than being divided and weak as our Country is now.

How can half of a country nule a Nation?
