I’ve given Li’l Beaver the day off since I want to feature the poster girl of DUmmie Despair in this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies. The gloom in DUmmieland has even reached the eternally optimistic DUmmie Doohickie who is now walking away from his “I Believe” threads as the harsh events of yesterday splashing against his face has caused even him to briefly wake up to reality. Too bad. I was sort of counting on reading his “I Believe” threads right up to Inauguration Day. Let us now look at DUmmie Doohickie’s third “I Believe” THREAD which starts out on its typically overoptimistic note early Wednesday morning and ends rather ingloriously today. As usual the DUmmie fantasy projections are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, bidding adieu to DUmmie Doohickie, is in the [brackets]:
I BELIEVE
I believe Kerry will be inaugurated on Jan 20.
I am Doohickie, and I approve this message.
[Hee! Hee! Little does DUmmie Doohicke realize but he has only a little over a day left of “I Believe.” But let us know read the progression of his fall from belief.]
Right beside you! I believe! DU Believe? I DU Believe!
[I Believe that you are too DUmb not to believe…..until Thursday.]
I do still believe, and the closer we get to January 6th, the MORE I believe.
[Work hard on creating your own reality. Better work overtime on that.]
If the Red Sox can come back from 3 loses to win the ALCS, if they can break an 86 year curse, if the Sox can do it....why the hell not Kerry.... I believe
[At least you have presented a scientific argument rich with constitutional knowledge.]
I believe too!!! Clearly John Kerry is biding his time... And he will come out when the 1st Senator (Obama?) speaks out. Kerry always had integrity and he is clearly playing a wise waiting game. I think that when the trickle of officials finally get off their duffs and call a Rose a Rose and summarize and document the proof of the election Fraud, JK and JE will come out from the shadows to announce their (sad) duty to take the Presidency (and VP) that has been "thrust upon them by the electorate." I can almost hear his "more in sorrow than in anger" speech as he steps up to accept his rightful place as the duly elected President of The United States. And I can FINALLY breathe freely, since I will AT LAST be able to breathe the air of a Free Country under its DULY AND FREELY ELECTED President. Of course, on Jan 6 (and then Jan 20), I will be able to enjoy the agony of those Rightist/self-Righteous SOBs who have been so arrogant since the election they tried to steal.
[I need to check my hearing. Somehow I just didn’t catch that historic “more in sorrow than in anger speech” yesterday as Kerry stepped up to accept his rightful place as the duly elected President of the United States.]
Sorry, but Bush won this one and nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, will alter that fact. There is no way whatsoever that Kerry will be inaugurated on January 20. Believing he will is setting yourself up for a major letdown.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL! How dare you rain on our feel-good “I Believe” parade?!!!]
Will you please stop peeing in my cornflakes?? Honestly, Walt - you've made it perfectly clear how you feel. Why do you feel the need to come into a thread which you obviously disagree with in order to make negative comments and attempt to stir up trouble? Why not start your own thread "I don't believe." See how many responses you get.
[Hmmm….. Now I know why my cornflakes have been tasting a mite salty lately.]
Why the huge effort to discourage, demoralize, and derail us on thread after thread? Is this his idea of working together for a common cause?
[I agree. DUmmie Walt Starr needs to learn to ignore reality like the rest of us.]
Sorry, B*sh stole this one too. Jim Crow voter disenfranchisement, precincts with over 95% voter turnout, disappearing and appearing votes, magically altered exit poll data, tens of thousands of voter complaints, partisan controlled voting equipment, voting machine techies confessions, and democratic office break-ins before election day can all be discounted because Saint B*sh stole it and will never give it back.
[And yet somehow absolute NONE of this “vote fraud” has been proven. It just shows how cleverly Karl Rove covered his tracks.]
the I believe thread is more important now than ever.
[In the same way the towel is to Linus.]
I believe
I believe that I am 100% certifiably sane, non-delusional, reasonably intelligent and informed.
I believe that what everyone here at DU is saying about the dysfunctional election process in America is rational, realistic, constructive and patriotic.
I believe that tough questions must be asked now, that our representatives must be held accountable now, that we must not accept these absurd and destructive abuses anymore.
I believe it is we who have a mandate now--to ensure free and fair elections in America.
I believe that the system must bend to accomodate a new demand for ethics, honesty, and responsibility in business and government.
I believe we are at the dawning of a new day.
[Since you posted this on Wednesday, I believe you are in for a big disappointment on the next day. Of course, this is only a wild guess on my part.]
I *B*E*L*I*E*V*E* TOO! I believe tomorrow is going to be verrrry interesting! I believe John Kerry knows exactly what is going to happen, and he needs to be elsewhere, because I believe it's gonna get ugly.
[I believe that all is going according to Kerry’s crafty game plan.]
I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!! Man, am I in a great mood today! Either the meds have kicked in or KERRY WON OHIO!!!!!!!
[Trust me. It’s the meds kicking in.]
I never have lost faith that Kerry would be inaugurated President 44. My doubt is as to the date. I'd love for it to be January 20 when the town is decked out in regalia for the shrub but have a feeling that it will be February 21. For this reason, I haven't bought my plane ticket yet.
[Don’t spend that money too quickly.]
I'm FINALLY beginning to feel optimistic again! As Mr. Pitt pointed out, We are as many as are the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the beach-I believe that we've been heard!!
[I believe you will be following Pied Piper Pitt over the cliff.]
I BELIEVE. Today will be a great day in this nation's history. I am so blessed to be able to spend it with all of you believers
[Ah! So it’s Thursday now. The day Kerry will be officially recognized as the victor. I BEEEEELEEEEEEVE!!!]
WE DID THIS, everybody. WE MADE THIS HAPPEN! I believe in Barbara Boxer! I believe in John Kerry! I believe in democracy! I believe in DU!
[So it’s a done deal? President Kerry? I BEEEEELEEEEVE!!!]
yep we did! it we did it! I believe
[WOO! HOO! I BEEEEELEEEEEVE!!!
I believe... this thread is done.
[Huh? It’s 3:41 PM Thursday. You mean to say that Kerry isn’t going to be our President? How could that be?]
I still believe. I just got out of work and haven't heard any news. I see a lot of good posts by people I respect, so it must have been a good day.
[YES! Kerry has been officially declared the victor! WOO! HOO! But a piece of advice---DON’T watch the news.]
Does anyone still belive this?
[Of course. I BELIEVE! I BELIEVE! I BELIEVE! But now let us hear the originator of the “I Believe” threads, DUmmie Doohickie. He will set us straight with an uplifting speech. Take it away, Doohickie!!!]
I BELIEVE
...that the election is over. I held out hope as long as I could. I appreciate the faith in and support of Senator Kerry in this thread, but I can no longer say I believe that he will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.
Congratulations on the perseverance you've all demonstrated, but apparently Senator Kerry's concession speech was the real deal.
I've enjoyed these threads, but it is now time to move on to dealing with a second term of W. I urge you all to shine as Americans, and try not to think about partisan politics, but rather think of what you can do to make America great, then go out and do it.
I've debated as to whether I should just slink away from this thread or to make my own little concession speech, and decided to go with the latter. Again, thanks for supporting the cause of the Democratic Party, and Senator Kerry's candidacy. Use that fervor and passion discovered during the recent campaign to make a difference- in your community and in your country.
I think Senator Kerry will continue to work behind the scenes to uncover any injustice that occurred on Election Day, and will also do his best to serve his constituents and the nation at large. In that sense, he still has our back.
Until next time, this is Doohickie, signing off. Adios.
[Alas poor Doohickie, I knew him well.]
FR is recruiting double-agents to sign up as DUmmies in order to execute OPERATION FREEPER ENVY (Details by FREEPMAIL, enter password)
I heard on the Randi Rhodes show yesterday a caller suggested that one way to beat them at their own game is for everyone to re-register and change your part to Republican. That way, they won't know where to short the machines or work their other slimy tactics. Since folks seem to be leaving the Democratic Party, why not join up as a Republican? That way, you'll get all their spam and junk mail too, and you'll know what their up to before Dems do!

Stop Freeping: New Forum by invitation only?
I don't even know if this is possible, but could DU provide a forum that was invitation only? After a certain number of posts, a DU member could petition the moderators to enter the Forum.
We are providing planning information to lurking freepers. If we want a strategic response to this fascism , shouldn't we attempt to keep it for belivers eyes only? Comments, please.
This is easy, I have well over a thousand posts at DU and they just love the flamebait.
I must "borrow" that graphic.
So you see, DUmbasses, once again you have no one to blame for your Golden Boy's ass-whipping but him. And you have no one to blame for your subsequent depression but your own tapioca-brained selves.
-Dan
Julian-spired. That's one of the best puns I've seen since next week.
But enough of this Gregoirian chat. . . .

You can up your post count in the DU Lounge. I did over 100 one night with things like "really?" "wow, that's impressive" etc.
They talk about recipies, stuff like that.
and democratic office break-ins before election day can all be discounted because the only news reports I saw were breakins of republican and Bush/Cheney campaign offices... but why let a little thing like facts get in the way?
"um....
"Open.... Sasparilla? Open Saskatchewan? Open, um...."
Down down down!
Mine Mine Mine!
I'm rich!
I'm wealthy!
I'm comfortably well off!
I have a good time with my pro-life lectures. I just substitute "animal" or "tree" for fetus and they are all on my side.
LOL. These guys are so easy to fake out. Someone on one of these threads (IIRC) used the analogy of the Star Trek Parallel Universe, where Spock pointed out that civilized people can act like barbarians, but barbarians can NOT act like civilized people.
We might have a very few successful trolls over here, but I would put good money up that 20-30% of DU is our folks trolling. It's soo easy (if you just keep calm).
I ABSOLVE DUmmie troubleinwinter of all political sin for one week for the nice review of the DUFUs. BTW, I don't know why this DUmmie is so jubilant about the DUFUs quoting Freeper trolls since they are the ones buying into those posts. A good example is DUmmie Doohickie whom I am suspecting more than ever of being a Freeper. And yet he got tons of DUmb DUmmies to go along with his "I Believe" posts.
I think the true number of current DUmmies is closer to 20,000 and might even be around just 10,000.
DUmmie Trolls don't last long on the FR. They usually give themselves away from the get-go due to their lack of subtlety.
And I still think there is a good chance that DUmmie Doohickie is really a Freeper.
I watch the fund-raising efforts over at DUmmieland with a finely-tuned magnifying glass (much as you probably inspect the DUmmie ants), and remain mystified.
Here at FreeRepublic, during fund-drives (the check is in the mail, Jim--honestly), Jim Robinson reports the total $$ amount raised.
But in DUmmieland, they report only the number of contributing members.....which reveals nothing whatsoever about how much they really take in.
One assumes, maybe 5,000 contributing members of DUmmieland, an "average" donation of $10 cash and $6 food stamps (no slam on those who legitimately need such assistance), so, maybe, $80,000 tops.....but remember, this is sheer shot-in-the-dark speculation.
Is DUmmieland required by law or custom to report the $$$ raised, or is this considered not public information?
Yeah, like handing out crack cocaine in order to get voters registered. LOL
No doubt! Still I have to wonder what the traitor thinks he's doing in Iraq????? He's not exactly popular among real fighting men ya know.
But when it comes to voting rights, we are where the "Negroes" were in the early 1960s.Yeah thats right, the Democrats in Ohio were turning the water hoses on ya'll and loosing the dogs so ya'll couldn't get to the polls to vote.
It was YOUR PARTY that tried to suppress the black vote in the 60's, you dumb schmuck.
You cheapen the efforts of MLK and the Freedom Marchers when you compare yourself to those true heroes
Hey DUMMIES, get a grip.
There was NO voter fraud, unless it was perpetrated by the Democrats.
GWB WON
