If all registered Democrats vote, and vote Democratic in November, not only will we retain control |

of Congress, it will be by a comfortable margin

1. I never miss an election. |
|
I will probably vote in October, though since this state allows early voting.

4. Yet, the Media constantly tells us this is a Conservative Country. |
|
There are more Democrats than Republicans in just about every state. Our party needs to revive itself big time.
The Republicans get the attention and have sold this conservative country bit, because the Democrats have permitted it.
Could it be, that the real story is Big Business having so much power and control that Democrats (legislators) have sold their souls to Corporate Interests and ignore the rank and file. Democratic citizens simply do not vote because their interests are not being met.
Democratic Activists, you can take charge and get the party back on track. You have the power. Look at what a tiny minority of Tea Party People have done.

9. You miss the main flaw in your argument... |
|
"If all registered Democrats vote, and vote Democratic in November, not only will we retain control of Congress, it will be by a comfortable margin." Democrats vote, but who is counting the votes?
In Texas, where republicans control the count there are lots of Dems voting, but their votes are not counting. A mysterious fire just ate all the machines in the Bill White for stronghold of Harris County. The republicans are in charge of housing those machines. What an interesting coincidence? I'm sure Rick Perry was very sad about this. :sarcasm:
