Wake Up Democrats

This is what I've been noticing for a while.

I've noticed --- when ever they show a Teabag Rally / The Rethug Primary "Debates" or even Romney now ~ there are not many people there. Media rarely interviews actual people in the audience. Media seems to focus on Sarah and Michelle and the other nuts that are clueless. Media is careful to not zoom in for Rethugs.

Rarely do you see Rethugs act like they care about the size of the rallies, it doesn't seem to matter to them.

Where are the faces of excited people standing behind ANY Rethug when they address their "devoted" followers? What you see are " clueless faces.
Many of those "FACES" IMO are paid to be there.

Where are all the outstretched hands of those attending the Rallies/Debates -- outstretched like for Obama, Biden, Hillary?

NONE of them can hold a candle to the IQ or the Public Speaking ability of Democrats. None of them appear to have true passion for all that should be for our country ~ for sure not Romney or ANY of the current gang.

Watch the Rethugs in Congress Speak -- they say mean things and block the votes but they have no substance to their message. Their IQ appears to be well below average IMO.

ALL THAT SAID ~ In their back pockets they hold ~ The Voter Suppression Laws all across this country while we wait for some magic to occur and stop it.

They hold Karl , they hold Cheney with no heart ~ you can bet he is still pulling the strings with his Elves.

They control the Supreme Court

They control Congress ~ able to block everything we have put up there.


They control THE $$$$$$$'s in the USA and they are not giving up a minute of sleep about sharing their $$$$$$$$$'s with those that are fragile.

They are ready,willing and able to steal this election AGAIN.

Wake Up Democrats,Wake Up!
We can not let this happen!

We have a neonazi Secretary of State here in Colorado who is doing everything he can to let only Republicans vote. He is nothing but a racist bigoted little weazel.

The GOP is doing all it can to cut off all the people who put Obama over the top. They should know that it will be torches and pitchforks if they continue.

And as far as so called Secretary of State Scott Gessler ... he can't come up for his re-election bid soon enough. Once a month I go to the website and make sure I still show as registered to vote. I swear - I don't understand how this a-hole was elected!!

massive turn out at the polls with a huge plan for getting people to the polls.

And WE must be more involved than even before in phone banking, donations, using our skills to help the campaign in everyway .

As much as I want to pray that their Suppresion Efforts that almost cover the map now will be overturned --- the clock is ticking and the law is still in place the last I checked.

9. Palast explained that the GOP would steal the election in 2004 just as they did in 2000 without

Overpowering numbers to overcome the fraud the GOP had built into the system through Diebold and outright deceit to disenfranchise people. They've been caught changing poll places at the last minute, robocalling and telling people the wrong poll information and dates, and attacking the long-term voters of states with challenging their votes at the last week... When most people with jobs cannot take off time to prove their bonafides in person in time to vote.

They are relentless fascists who will stop at nothing, terrorism such as in Arkansas when they killed the Democratic candidate's family pet and left it to terrify his children, shooting at people, stopping the vote, sending out bogus notices, etc. They employ people and use bots to rig opinion polls online and elsewhere.

They cannot win on the issues and they know it. So they have decided to shut the people up anyway they can. And I am losing patience with those who say the parties are all the same, that Democrats are doing nothing. Those who claim that are falling for GOP media memes. and they aren't helping a thing. They are the unwitting tools of the fascists, useful idiots. Because the results of their attacking Democrats and voting GOP are the same.

and we would not even begin to think of the dirty tricks they play.

My grandmother always told me , " would you rather be a person of character or be the mean one?"

She was right but sometimes when you see voter suppression right before your eyes and nothing is stopping them -- it's hard to take, really hard to remain sane.

LET's GET OUT THE VOTE FOR OUR TEAM!!!!

Let's GO!

they Pukes are going about the business of disenfranchising huge swaths of the electorate, and raising money, hand over fist.

I read yesterday, that OH has knocked more than a million off its voter rolls. That's frightening.

12. A suit has been filed in the case of PA's Voter ID law

There are other lawsuits that have been filed around the country as well, but since the media is generally owned by RW lunatics, this type of info is either not reported or is put in an inconspicuous place so it's difficult to find. I always bow down to DU for all the folks who comb through the various alternate media and some M$M that publishes but often hides the info, because otherwise, we would really be some lost puppies!

Thanks for letting us know ~ the Media knows how to pick and select the "News" ~ they cherry pick the "News."
