"Whether or not you think you can do something, you're probably right."
My wife related this quote to me, and it seems so fitting at a time when even fellow Democrats tell me "We can't beat Bush in 2004."

That attitude becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and I for one, will never succumb to it. This sort of defeatist drivel does the Republicans' work for them. I'm know I couldn't live with myself if George Bush was re-elected in 2004 and my only answer to his hijacking of America was "We can't win!"

Don't buy into this crap. Any of our candidates could take Bush to task. All we have to do is believe, and GET INVOLVED!!!

Doubters be damned, take that weak shit elsewhere....

4. Henry Ford, circa 1903
"Whether you think you can or you can't you are right."

I had a rock on my desk with this inscribed on it. It does work. Every time a Sailor told me he could not do something, I shared the quote with him. He would cuss, mutter, leave and DO!

6. Right, I say enough with political calculations.
Edited on Fri Jan-02-04 02:22 PM by Bushknew
ThatÕs why I support Kucinich, even if itÕs politically incorrect to tell the truth.
