How The Left Can SHOCK The Pundits And Prognosticators In 2010
Historically, turnout by the left in mid term elections is low and allows the right too much power in mid term elections.

By leveraging the assholery of the right, and by making Joe Wilson the posterboy for why the left must turn out, we can make substanial gains in both the house and the Senate.

It's time to start on GOTV efforts for next year NOW.

1. BUt how can electing more DINOs be considered "substantial gains?" A real message would be
to turn out all pols who vote against real progress, no matter which arm of the corporate party they belong to.

Only by denying our votes and money and legwork to the traitors in our own party will we ever make any progress.

3. There are 1000 people starving. You have the means to feed 800
Edited on Fri Sep-11-09 11:31 AM by WeDidIt
Instead, you choose to allow all 1000 to starve simply because you do not have the means to feed more than 800.

That's the moral position you have just taken.

5. no, the means to feed 1000 are available. 10 people are hoarding them, &
paying fat lieutenants to tell everyone else there's not enough to go around.

2. The Teabaggers and Wingnuts will come out in full force. We have to counteract that.
They may only represent 15 or 20% of the population, but if they are the only ones who turn up we are screwed.
