When people vote in November..many who are angry now will
still vote for the Democrat. Why? Simple.
Our party has tried to help people get jobs, create jobs, and help the unemployed.

Their party wants tax breaks for the rich.
Has been for the rich, is for the rich and will always be for the rich.

It may look bad now, but when people go to vote for the Congress..
Most will know the truth...Some won't, they will never know.
But most will.

1. Unfortunately the question isn't "how" Democrats might vote, its "Will" they vote
The problems isn't that democrats won't vote for democrats, its that they will stay home and not vote for anyone at all.

3. They will not stay at home. It will become clear that those
who are sitting on the fence now, will be with us.
The Republicans cannot turn to anything they have done to create jobs, help the unemployed.
The message will get through, but it takes alongeer time than other messages.

Well, three years ago, would it have been possible to believe that an Afro-American would be President, or could be elected, let alone that
Afro-American could beat Hillary Clinton in the primaries?..In the space of two or three months in 2008, that all changed.

2. Sorry but you're going to have to do better than that -
jobs need to be created, not simply tell people "oh we saved a boatload of jobs with our stimulus". Sure, you saved a boatload of bankers and gave them bonuses to boot.

You also need to make sure those tax cuts for the rich expire at the end of the year just as they're set to now. Extending them means this party will be "for the rich".

President Obama is a great speaker, but at some point you have to walk the walk - not simply talk the talk.

4. We will see how the message evolves...
Votes for Congress are different than opinion polls.
Racheal Maddow showed that McCain was down in the polls cause he was the "incumbent" yet, when the vote came, he was better than his opponent..

That is what I think will happen.
Our message will get through. Sure, it ain't easy. Giving up is easy. Hanging in there isn't.

5. I'm very angry, and I'm voting for Democrats...I am also contributing to Democratic
candidates, even in other states, and supporting them with what limited means I have.

I am very angry - at the GOP, the media, the compromises Democrats have made to get republican votes in congress...

I will do all I can to get more Democratsd in and more republicans out of office.

No one is doing storys on me on TV, either...

6. You are not alone...........I will be giving money
to a number of out of state candidates.
Russ Fiengold, Barbara Boxer, Jack Conway to name a few, a number of close House races.

I may do some phone work, I will see.

I will do what I can to get more Democrats elected too. In Illinois, we have a number of races where we have a chance of defeating incumbant Pukes..
..as they say..the Fat Lady has not sung yet. We are in the second act of a four act opera.

8. Many may not vote, but I need to go because of some local folks.
On that level we can sometimes have victories ... I've only given money to Al Franken this year, and sometimes I'm not even sure about him.

7. And the problem is the MSM is not telling the public the truth
about republicans. For example some one posted that video about Becks ego trip on the mall. Now it has been on SOME of the news cast but not many about Beck calling Obama a racist. All the people the guy interviewed didn't even know that. And there are a lot of things that have happened the public doesn't know. If it is against the republicans the media doesn't tell it. Or the screw actions around to favor the republicans.

Until the press is brought under control and I mean made to tell the news, which ever side has done wrong, but tell BOTH SIDES, the country is going to be ignorant of the real facts. I bet over half the people in this country other than the unemployed, and then not all of them, don't know that the republicans blocked the bill to extend unemployment over and over. I bet they don't know that ever bill the Democrats have proposed they have blocked and voted no on. Republicans aren't out to help this country and the news media isn't either. All the want is to see their corporate masters back in office so they can ruin what's left of this country and put the proceeds in their pockets.
