November Voting...
I just saw the, "Nice People" thread.. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=433x235730

And I realize the people are funny. But we can have our humor for now but before and when November comes around we can't slouch. We can't assume that these people are weak or just made up. There are real citizens and if nothing else Scott Brown has to be a bloody reminder.

I mean, I notice a lot of disparaging remarks to them. And i participate but I cannot deny that these people do have some numbers, even if a good number are under 18 and still in diapers. But we have to stand our ground and make sure to support the people who supported this bill who are Dems---and get rid of Stupak or introduce new viable candidates. Because there is now way that I can handle Repubs in charge. I mean seriously.

If we have so much problems with Dems ruling Congress. We won't get shit done, and I mean nothing, nothing done if the congress moves Repub. I mean, I'm really scared about that. Because Obama has a huge agenda, I'm still hoping for DADT to be repealed. So we have a long way to go. And the repubs will NEVER allow DADT to be repealed if they get Congress.

We need to organize as though this is for the Presidency. We need to know who are people are. We need to get independent vloggers out there to get these people on YouTube and some air time---if they're not getting it from local news. Because...I don't want the Repubs around.

Not to mention that some of these clowns (ball gargling teabaggers---I love that from a poster on DU) are dangerous and are capable of dangerous things. Which of course if they attempt to do such a thing will entirely annihilate the Repub party---God forbid. But these people are dangerous and if they get their clowns in we're screwed.

1. Yeah, but once their still-living grannys' donut hole is gone...
.... a few of them may change their minds.

(But I am eternally optimistic.)

3. We need to recognize
who the sleeping dems are and why they are so silent. Another thing that irks me is that in most mid-term elections the incumbent party always looses, at least historically. Bush didn't loose the rethug congress in 2004, mainly because the country was still supportive of him regarding the 911 attacks. However, from the rhetoric I'm hearing now, its looking look the dems will lose their majority in Nov. We need to find a way to slow the bleeding or at least maintain what we have now which will be easier said than done.

4. it means that we have to work harder than ever
I'm already committed to two campaigns for congressmen who face their toughest years ever. One's the author of this bill.

I saw what defeat looked like in November in NJ. Now we have an obese Karl Rove in charge of the state.
