If the Democrats lose in November, we lose and the country loses.
Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 01:55 AM by rainlillie
OMG! Have you not heard the positions of the teabagger candidates who are running? I live in New York and Paladino can become the next Governor if New Yorkers don't get out there and vote.
The candidates running now will make Bush look like a sane liberal. Do you not feel the sense of urgency? We can work with what we have, build on it and make it better, but if the republican-tea party, gets in, we don't stand a chance.

Something is not right here, when everyone on this forum have seen the interviews and heard what the teabag candidates plans are for the country and yet, some people are STILL saying they're not going to vote. We are so screwed if that is the sentiment of the majority of Democrat's... I sure hope it isn't. I do believe that the MSM is pushing the whole doom and gloom narrative. I also believe that the republicans plans of blocking everything and creating voter frustration has worked like a charm ...so here we are.

2. "if that is the sentiment of the majority of Democrat's"
No. It's the sentiment of a very very small vocal minority, most of whom are not really Democrats.

5. Centrists, independents, and moderates
If the democrats lose, it will be because those in the middle of the political spectrum have abandoned them. Hope the administration enjoyed sucking up to them for 2 years.
