If Democrats lose control of Congress, Hart argues, it's "because they didn't vote."

According to most polls, Democrats and Republicans are tied on the registered vote generic ballot. It is the likely voter pool that shifts the advantage to the Republicans. The undecided pool consists of many Democratic voters who can and must be brought home to vote in November.

We need a massive Democratic mobilization effort starting now. We can decisively close the likely voter gap.

1. I made the mistake of thinking stupid George couldn't do that much harm to America, I was wrong and

...will never let stupid run thangs again

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

2. He's right. There are more registered Democrats than there are Republicans. If people simply voted..

Democrats could even *GAIN* seats in both houses.

The problem with Democrats--especially those on DU sometimes--is that we seem to sit around and complain, feeling defeated, instead of working hard to get the vote out.

The Righties never just sit back. It's always about politics. Always! Full steam ahead. That's why they win.

We need to get off our duffs and work, work, work!!!

[impik]

3. He is right. It's up tp us, and only us!

[HughMoran]

4. Guy's a friggin' genius.

ya don't win if people don't vote for ya. grunt.

[Andy823]

5. Damn right!

Sitting home and not voting is what the right wants, getting out the voters is what has to be done, and I think the president knows that, and started doing just that yesterday!

[Pirate Smile]

6. While calling voters for OFA/IA Dem Party, I've had multiple people say they only vote in

Presidential elections or just hadn't even thought about whether or not to vote in November.

People need to help with the GOTV effort - starting NOW!

[old mark]

7. That is the TRUTH - if we lose, we gave it away.

WE must support Democrats and vote for Democrats in November - the republican crazys runing for office this time are much worse than any we have seen yet - they make those now in congress look moderate!


VOTE!

8. Your not going to get Democrats out to vote until the Dems in Congress actually do something

So far, on the big issues, Dems have failed miserably. They have yet to give Dems and liberals a reason to vote for them this fall. Rather, what the party machinery is attempting is the same old shit that's been done before, using fear to gin up the vote rather than earning people's respect and gratitude.

People are becoming immune to fear, especially on the left. Therefore if the Dems want to win, it is time that they went out and earned it.

[DevonRex]

10. Says the guy who listed many issues on which he would vote REPUBLICAN.

:puke:

[MadHound]

13. Really?

You have search capability. Bring up one, just one issue in which I stated I would support the Republican position on it. Otherwise admit that you're simply making up shit because you don't like those of us on the left who dare to criticize Obama and the Dems for the position they are taking and you're simply out to smear people because of that.

C'mon tough guy, just one. We'll all be waiting.

[clarence swinney]

12. So True Sir 8 KEYS just 8

No excitement
It comes from Teapotties and R in Congress smearing and fearing

Imagine if D had been using this as a team effort?
If D in Congress had been on Floor each day screaming this?

Tell it over and over until it sinks in.

14. While you're waiting for them to "earn" it, the Repubs will gladly

take back the reins of power.

It's going to come down to that.

Sometimes "We're not the Republicans" IS the choice. And as unhinged as some of these Repubs are lately, the choice is clear.

If you think that defaulting these Dems out of office with non-votes and replacing them with angry Republicans is going to help your causes advance, then I don't know what to say to you.

[MadHound]

15. Then I suggest that the Dems get busy in the next couple of months

More and more people are refusing to succumb to fear based campaigns and want politicians to actually earn their vote. If the Dems come through with some major issue that directly and quickly improves people's lives, then they won't have to worry about this fall, it will be in the bag. If they continue to rely on trying to scare people into voting for them, well, they will probably fail.

Respect and gratitude is what earns and keeps voters with a party, not fear.

[CakeGrrl]

24. Nice theory, but succumbing to Republican POLICIES is the bigger threat. n/t

[tblue37]

20. I will *never* become immune to fear of having the country run by

the likes of W, Cheney, Palin, McCain, McConnell, Boehner, and their ilk, all being led by the nose by Beck and Limbaugh.

[MadHound]

21. Then you will allow the Dems to lead you down the garden path,

With a ring in your nose.

Letting fear rule your vote is not a good way to pick our leaders.

11. Gore Lost Here

27,000 registered Republicans-- 37,000 registered Democrats

Bush 27,000
Gore 17,000

Explain it I cannot except Religious vote.

Strange.

Obama won big.

[vanboggie]

17. Hacked voting machines perhaps?

It happened in several key states in two separate elections - 2000 and 2004. A little vote tweaking and Jr. was given the keys to the country when he didn't earn them...twice.

[catgirl]

16. Yes we can!

[donheld]

18. Change did not happen on Nov 4, 2008

As someone on Thom Hartmann pointed out, it started then. If we don't keep working and voting for change we've ourselves to blame if it doesn't happen.

[Dawson Leery]

19. True.

We have two great candidates running in Connecticut.
Richard Blumenthal is running for Senate against that horrible goonette McMahon and Dan Malloy for Governor.

[angee_is_mad]

22. I agree

wholeheartedly.

[slay]

23. Wrong. It's cause they gave us shitty Dems like Blanche Lincoln we didn't want to vote for

You know, the one Obama went and campaigned for against the progressive. That and their lack of action on gay rights, escalating a war, ignoring war crimes, etc.

I WANT to vote for the Dems. But even more so, I want them to give us something to vote FOR, and not just republican boogymen to vote against.
