I watched the C-Span presentation of the morons and it was hilarious. The Democrat Party is sinking faster every day. Can anyone tell me how the Jesse Jackson rally held in Washington, DC went today? Looked like it was spaesely attended, but I cna't find anythiong on it. I suspect it was a big failure. Dems and CBC had a realy bad day today. Looks the Dems and CBC will be in the widerness for a long, long time!!!

Byrd voted NO??? Democracy is officially dead folks....
Rest in NO Peace....
I'm going to switch parties later today at the City Hall...
I'm not a Democrat after today...,p> I'll support Barbara Boxer and My Representative Lynn Woolsey because they are great leaders, patriots and Americans....
I will no longer call myself a Democrat after today....The fact that Robert Byrd couldn't even vote yes, is all I needed to know...

2. I meant to warn you not to get your hopes up too high.
You can't expect spineless jellyfish to become sharks overnight. Today was a step in the right direction.
What's really sad is that they must have known that only a small cadre of Democrats would be watching their every move, because only C-SPAN would be covering it. This won't be mentioned at great length on tonight's news shows or in tomorrow's papers. As far as the media go, this was not great history, or even great drama. This was as some here have said a "waste of time." So it seems to me we should feel some gratitude for the organization that permitted this to take place. I'd like to know if there was serious pressure on Boxer not to do what she did, or if there was an agreement of some kind that this had to be done.

Original message
I replaced my Kerry yard sign today
The new one says:
Prove there was no voter suppression
and on the flip side:
Prove there was no election fraud
Also covered up my Kerry bumper sticker with my DU bumper sticker.
Finally realized yesterday that there was no point fighting for him if he would not stand up for those who stood in line for him.
I have nothing against Sen. Kerry and I don't regret working on his campaign. But there's nothing to hang on to anymore.

1. I ripped off my K/E bumper sticker the minute he conceded.

4. Me, too
I'll never understand what he did. Or didn't do.
He broke my heart.

9. When I found out Kerry would be conceding I was desperate. I called the campaign office and played with the directory (ie punching in random letters until the directory gave me a name with a title that sounded important). The message gave Mr. X's cell number, which I promptly called.
I BEGGED him to not allow Kerry to concede because the election was surely rigged. He said he'd been with the Senator all morning, they'd been discussing it, the decision was made. Period. No surprise, no nothing.
The precincts reporting weren't all at 100% in states where a few thousand votes could have put him in the lead. I told them this, also. They wouldn't listen. I believe Kerry knew full well about the fraud and disenfranchisement. He just chose not to fight the Rove machine. Sad, since he promised us he would. Mr. X told me to keep my chin up. Right. [That is, keep your chin up so the blow will land cleanly]
My Kerry yard sign is still up, but will be replaced by something that stands the test of time, which Kerry does not.
Oh, how I wish Dean had gotten that nomination.

5. After Kerry won the primary I phone banked and supported him 100%. I was very pissed he conceded on Nov. 3rd. I waited until yesterday to really rip in to him and I ended it all by having my name removed from his much tauted 3.5 million member e-mail list. There is an unsubscribe at the bottom of every e-mail but I'm sure it could be done through his site as well.

10. Took off my bumper sticker about a week after Nov 2 with tears streaming. He wasn't my guy in the primary, and by the time it got to IL, it was a done deal. Still, I worked on his campaign canvassing, writing letters, putting yard signs all over, and poll watching. Hell! I even managed to convince hubby to get involved (and that's no small feat!)
I believe something went on with this election. *Dons tin foil hat* Not one single thing, but a whole bunch of little Republican cells working just like terrorists i.e. funded from above but working independently. If that's 'conspiracy', then so be it.
That Kerry conceded as he did was not what bothered me. It was that as volumes of acts suppressing the vote and virtually all 'irregularities' served in Bush's favor...Kerry said not a peep other than to ask for $$$. The DNC said rah rah siss boom bah, pat yourself on the back, be proud of what you did, and while your at it fill in the $$$ amount on our secure payment system.
I'll keep working locally as I had planned, thank you very much. But right now, I'm rooting for Dean to head the DNC. Hey, he gave us a spine and a voice during the run up and he won't stand down to the slimy Cons. He can do it again, IMHO.

17. The repubs are like virii
While we seem to work on a national scale, the repubs are insidious. They go into the little areas and infect everything around them. They do it by lying, overrunning and intimidating people. I'm surprized they haven't gone back to lynchings to keep the black vote out. (They probably have - would the corporate media ever report it?)
