ATTENTION HAND WRINGING WEENIES: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has suggested...
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 08:37 PM by Elrond Hubbard
that we stop fighting because it's in the bag. Nobody is suggesting that we lessen our efforts or that we relax. Not one poster is trying to suggest that because we think we will win is reason enough to stop being vigilant.

We do not need to be told 500 times daily that you are so vewy vewy scawed that we are gonna lose.

We do not need to be told 500 times daily that the Republicans are going to steal the election by people who offer no positivity just mindlessly bleating 'close enough to steal'

We do not need to be told 5,000,000 times daily that 'Rove is behind everything!!!' I'm sick of hearing about that smelly fat turd. He isn't behind shit. McCain is running a woefully incompetent campaign. If Rove is doing work for them, they should ask for a refund, because he's screwing up pretty badly.

We do not need to be told 500 times daily that we haven't won yet. DUH. I think we all realize that. All of us, each and every one of us, are fighting our hardest for this win. We will continue to do so. We're just optimistic and confident that hey, just once, we might actually win this damn thing! It's a great feeling. If you want to whine and gripe and spread fear, that's your right. But don't tell us we shouldn't be feeling confident and optimistic for once. I'm sick of being afraid of these assholes like they want me to be. They're not WORTH the fear.

1. I agree 100%. Being told that we can't be happy...
...is pretty condescending. We're all adults. We all know what is at stake. Treating us like the stupid kids at the party isn't helping.

We will ALL keep working until this is all over.

4. I agree. We all are on-board with phone banking and canvassing until Nov 4th.
Even my teenage daughter is part of her school's "Young Democrats" club.

We've got our whole family on board ... we know how important this election is ...

The most important election in OUR lifetime. :thumbsup:

11. It sure is important. We all realize what's at stake.
So bearing that in mind, it's up to us to decide how we approach our situation.

9. That's a pretty good
rant. It does get old 'cause I think we're all conditioned after 8 fucking years of bush that it's not over till it's over and it's now in our DNA to fight like FOREVER.

Especially after they win the White House.

14. MASSIVE K & R

So tired of every silly poll outlier being treated as some calamity - - remember that SurveryUselessA or whoever poll of Minnesota 7-10 days ago showing Obama only up one? Threw some folks here into a complete tizzy.

Obama is winning. All indications are that he is going to win. I choose to enjoy.

20. Obama does not do cowering and neither should we.
It seems like some Democrats are afraid of being ahead and cannot enjoy a lead. I don't simply want to beat the Republicans, I want to crush them.

23. Fed Up With The Negativity
Let the ones who are losing be the ones spouting the 'I'm scared' meme. Bama has run the smartest campaign and I, while taking nothing for granted, have faith in that. Also, he has always been true to his word, so when he said he may not throw the first punch but he will throw the last, McShame and his Palinistas should've listened.

28. Cautious optimism is good. Overconfidence is not.
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 09:08 PM by mvd
I can't see any major things swinging things McSame's way (unless people really do buy lies and negative propaganda,) but we are dealing with people who stole at least one election (maybe two - NM was stolen in 2004 even if not.) Also, this expanded executive power is part of their plan. We should never drop our guard.

That's what the Stanford kids used to call us U.C. Berkeley kids back in the day. Ah, to be a weenie again. *sigh*

On the other hand, my Norway maple out front can do rudimentary trigonometry, so maybe plants aren't all that stupid after all.

56. It feels GOOD! Doesn't it!!
I'll admit that I was a bit less than confident several months ago. But this thing is totally going our way - every poll shows it. You can smell the desperation in the pukes even on television.

Do I think we ought to quit working because it's "in the bag?" Nope. I think we ought to double our efforts.

It's not going to be "close enough to steal." Not this time.

And it feels so good.

57. Ultimately, what's the worst thing the HWW's can do?

Get a few people pissed off? Not a bad thing. At best, they motivate the few slackers. Every vote is precious.

Yeah, it's annoying, but well-intentioned.

The DU Handwringing Weenies wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't scold and cluck about something. When Obama wins, they'll turn on him faster than you can blink and accuse him of "betraying" us, despite the fact that "us" is the negligible purity brigade who, in their overeager strivings for utopia, will never ever ever be satisfied with anything in their lives.
