i hope i`m wrong,but i see this thing

[kentjay]

slipping away,now before i`m attacked its just that i`m a poll freak and the polls are all to close in the toss-up category to be jumping up and down.the dems are celebrating too early and the usa is probably the last ultra conservative country that considers itself a democracy.besides,the corruption is so deep that it is just to much to overcome.in the past i have posted that in order to win any political election in this country the opposing party must get in the gutter with the rethugs,play their games,in other words be as crooked and corrupt as they are,win by whatever means necessary.this rethug party is imbedded and the mountain to climb on nov. 7 will be very difficult,i hope i`m wrong,america will be lost forever if the dems fail this time,the cable news pundits maybe assisting this rethug group and they have complacency.please someone tell me i`m wrong.

5. i was stating an opinion,just a feeling,i

think we are celebrating too early.

[Sad4world]

6. I've got a bad feeling too.

Two (at least) rigged elections. Already problems with early voting in Florida.
Too many democrats went along with the Military Commissions Act.
NO big October surprise. Rove working under the radar??
Too many uneducated voters. They believe anything MSM puts out.
Etc,etc,etc....

[kentjay]

7. thank you,your right,but i hope left.

11. Hey Why Don't You Newbies Of Doom Go Get A Room n/t

[July]

19. Binka! You have a way with words.

Thanks for the early morning laugh!

[TankLV]

39. uhh - it's not just the thoughts of "newbies"...

god forbid we should be allowed to express our opinions.

I'll remember to check in with the dominatrices before I post again...

[alcibiades_mystery]

47. You can exprress it

And people can say it is a dumb opinion.

What's the problem? Stop playing the martyr. It's embarrassing.

[LostinVA]

24. I'm impressed you can do this at the same time

At least make sure you don't make the EXACT SAME typing and grammar mistakes.

[Binka]

32. I'm Glad It Isn't Just Me Who Sussed This Out n/t

[LostinVA]

34. Nope

I mean, seriously, the weird comma "unbreaks" and everything?

[cornermouse]

8. You're not alone. Actually you're in pretty good company.

You might want to take a look at a couple of Molly Ivins' editorials. I would recommend you first read

http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/1/2006/1451
Election Day a long way off

and follow it up with

GOP ineptitude and some advice for Dems

[kentjay]

9. thanks,i hope this election is not turning.

13. The best solution to fear is POSITIVE ACTION.

My friend,

We have to stop thinking like this:



And start thinking like this:


EVERY TIME I turn around, I hear of lifelong Republicans who are bailing on this so-called 'Republican' party. This is not '00 or '02 or even '04. It's no longer just disaffected Dems & liberals who have had enough.

Of course, we are ALL concerned about what 'could' happen. No, we don't want to dwell on it and we don't want our fears to immobilize us. Just the opposite. Let our fears make us more determined than ever. Yes, we want to do everything we can to ensure our success and pull out all the stops.

Please, let's talk about solutions & positive action rather than our fears. We've got to think like winners, as though f**lure is not an option. I'm not gonna speak or even type the word!

Here's a website you might find helpful: http://www.protectmyvote.org

40. Gee - just like 2 years ago, right?!

[BoneDaddy]

25. After being

incredibly disappointed in the past two pres elections, the stealing of said elections, I think any premature celebrations are quite honestly totally ridiculous.

[Lexingtonian]

10. okay, you're wrong....

We can't become Them. If we do that, we've truly lost.

Political power and its fruits are one thing. But there's also a Constitutional issue that fundamentally divides us, which all the other issues and divisions turn out to be subordinated to. Even, and particularly, power.

I don't think the Democratic Party is playing this one softly and is not cutting corners where it can get away with it. It's the majority party now, even though the bad habits and limitations of being a minority party have not been thrown off completely.

Look at the GOP hold on power this way: if/when they lose majority and control of the institutions of government, Democrats will have outlasted and defeated almost everything they have. Republicans have no recovery then- they will have used up every favor, every ability, every excuse, every advantage, all their competent manpower and money, to keep themselves in office. There will be nothing left.

So you're underestimating the danger to Republicans- they have to risk everything to survive, as they've done for a couple of elections now.

The latest generic vote polls, from RT Strategies (Charlie Cook's outfit, everyone's independent Beltway elections prognosticator this year) have Democrats hitting a new high of 59% support and Republicans stuck at 37%. Those are Abandon Ship numbers.

I don't know what pessimism or paranoia do for you, but I'd say they're now warranted.

[democrank]

14. Democrats should leave the gutter to Karl Rove and his minions

and rely on hard work and the truth. Let Bush supporters cheer over outsourced jobs, secret torture planes, the horror in Iraq and the loss of their rights. Democrats are on the right side of this one whether we win or not.

[cornermouse]

16. True.

But we can fight back without going into the gutter. Overconfidence (see above) and an unwillingness to insist on application of long established laws, rules, and regulations is the real danger right now.

[technorazzi]

33. bully ethics and prom queen politics

Man I so want to believe this. This country operates on bully ethics and prom queen politics. It is not about who is right, it is about who is better at convincing the lowest common denominator what is right. The majority fo this country feeds at Burger King and watchs fake wrestling - the dems need a serious 24 hour makover.

18. well if washington hadn`t

employed spies which was dirty and unheard of at the time it very well might have caused his capture,at times like these ultra measures must be taken,unfortunately on my 3rd term in nam i didn`t stop to ask a vietnamese if they were from the south or north,and while politically i`m not street smart as you say,don`t discount a combat veteran,so just win baby,thats all i`m asking,for if we don`t you may be kissing the usa goodbye.

27. Jesus Is The OP Still Dry Humping Himself?

That Blow-Hole of negativity went on ignore the minute after I made my second post on this thread. It's expected only a week to go and here comes the FUCKWITTAGE PARADE.

[youthere]

35. ...

"FUCKWITTAGE PARADE"

:spray:

Binka...I think I love you.

[kentjay]

37. gee a rudepundit wannabe

[TankLV]

42. Yep - you only need to look in the mirror honey...

You should be talking - seeing how most of your posts have been deleted for being against the rules I see...!

[brentspeak]

29. Number of posts means nothing

I agree that the OP appears "concerned", but there's plenty of people on DU with over a thousand posts who are still running amuck.

[Le Taz Hot]

52. I concur.

With few exceptions, I find the people with the highest post counts generally have the least to say. Having said that, dear OP: Please, check your spelling, punctuation and grammar -- I've no idea what your post was about.

LTH<---ex teacher

[Vinca]

20. There's only one way this "thing" will slip away: voting fraud.

In 2004 we were fed the "polls were wrong" story. The polls can be wrong only so many times. Everyone knows it's BS, everyone's watching for dirty tricks, everyone assumes the machines are rigged. If they come out on top despite the polls, it won't be a mystery why and we won't sit by and let them steal it again.

[LostinVA]

21. A song from my new musical: "October Follies"

"October Follies,
Full of gloom...
October Follies
Here's the doom!

Oh, posters new,
You are so cute!
Posting things
Easy to refute

Silly sillies, transparent as glass
Silly willies, I'll give you a pass
Because Liberty U has a curfew,
And you kids need something to do!!!

October Follies! Here to stay!
October Follies! Till Election Day!

(insert big dance number here)

[Binka]

28. You Must Give Me A Role!

I'll be a semi nude hanging chad if you like!

[LostinVA]

30. OOOH! Okay!

[TankLV]

43. No thanks - we don't want to throw up.

we've all had enough of you already by just your posting on THIS thread...

[bronxiteforever]

26. Iraq is a GOP War. They can't hide the corpses and blood anymore.

eom

[Zynx]

31. I'm a poll freak too and this thing has been breaking towards us.

This is the precise opposite of 2002 when it broke towards the Republicans in the last three weeks. Here we are beginning to pull away at the end.

[k_jerome]

36. well, you convinced me. i'm not voting. nt.

[Quantess]

45. me neither.

in fact, I'm going to camp out with hobos on voting day, so I can share world-is-going-to-hell-in-a-handbasket stories, and pass around the bottle of Thunderbird fortified-wine.

[Norquist Nemesis]

41. You're not alone, Kentjay

We've been through this before.

BUT!!! <<<<<<--------- Note emphasis

It's time to put on the Karl Rove game face and bring it on! If you haven't already, take some time out to help GOTV, it will re-energize you and raise your enthusiasm. Give your local Democratic candidate's office a call and see where they can use you for a couple of hours or a day if you can swing it!

[leftofthedial]

44. close enough to steal

and we already KNOW they'll steal anything they can.

[MoonRiver]

46. If you think that spin is going to keep DUers home on D-Day, aka 11/7/06,

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Quantess]

48. Join me at the hobo camp!

It'll be great, curling up in sleeping bags by the railroad bridge, getting sauced on fortified-wine. We'll tell doomsday stories all day, and stay away from the polls!

[MoonRiver]

49. Lol, Rove's wet dream!

But hey, if the wine is free...:toast:

[itcfish]

50. I Feel the Same Way

I feel like the republicans will use any means necessary to maintain their power. The democrats are not so mean sprited and dirty as the republicans. They cannot compete in the "dirty tricks" department. The only hope is that Americans are so disgusted that they will go out and vote.



:dem:

:wtf:

[wicket]

51. I know you're CONCERNED...

:eyes:

[No Exit]

53. Even if the democrats don't take the House or the Senate, it is victory

of a sort. Because this WAVE is REAL. Period. It's here, and it is REAL.

The people are definitely making their true feelings known, and their true feelings are NOT sympathetic to the republican crime machine. And even if democrats don't quite take either house of congress, this wave is a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH and it is NOT GOING AWAY.
