01/06/05-The Day the Democratic Party & Democracy Died in America
Someday, when my two young children are old enough to understand, I'll tell them that January 6th, 2005 was the day the Democratic Party and Democracy died in America.
I will teach them about a great American patriot named Barbara Boxer and her Brave Stand with the Black Congressional Caucus to take a stand. I'll explain to them that it was the failure of the Democrats to stand united and support the US Constitution and the rights of voters by either not showing to vote or to vote against the measure to reject the Ohio Electoral Vote is why their Mom & Dad switched from the Democratic Party to the Green Party and never gave a penny again to the DNC. I will tell them I continued to support the 33 Brave Democrats in the House and the one brave Senator that voted in favor to reject an unclean election and support instead the rights of the voters and the US Constitution.
Today is a day of shame and in my opinion, the death of democracy in America....all we will see moving forward is the "one party system" controlled by a party that is not the "GOP" of my parents and grandparents and that every single thing this country has stood for, from civil rights, civil liberties, rights of privacy, and all the hard fought rights and societal protections of its citizens from education, minimum wage, environmental protections and social security will be eliminated or so dismantled that they will hardly matter.
Then, when I show my children the pictures of John Kerry, holding the pictures of them when he and I talked about this election being about "our children's future" and the pictures of me with my children in several swing states campaigning for Kerry, and of the night before the election in Cleveland where I was within 15 feet from the stage and heard him saying that he was "fighting for us" and then I will tell them about how on January 6th, 2005, Kerry did not show up to speak or vote or fight for those voter rights and after their Mommy had worked hard at raising over $30,000.00 for the "GELAC" Fund that was supposed to pay for challenges and investigations into voter fraud and legal challenges, and how instead, Kerry "conceded" in less then 24 hours of the polls closing and that all votes were not counted and that for two months, he basically did....NEXT TO NOTHING....
Then I will point to a picture of my 4 year old in the arms of Howard Dean, and tell her about her comment that she said to me "I thought he was going to be President, Mommy?"
He should have been dear, he should have been....

6. Hey, let's look at the upside.
Within the next 2 years, the country continues to go to hell. Republicans continue to act like they have a mandate, pissing off the majority while enacting legislation that'll convert many more to the Democratic cause.
We finally kick their collective asses in 2006 and take back the House and Senate. We begin massive criminal investigations that end up impeaching 2/3s of the Republican leadership. A political tsunami breaks over the USA as we finally take this country back and join the world community as a partner in the fight for global justice and security.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it......
They are so deluded that they probably think Dan Rather voted for Bush and that the memo story was just part of a conspiracy (with the aid of Karl Rove and Halliburton, of course) to help the reelection (er, reseletion) of the President.
child abuse.
Ketchup Flavored Kool-Aid.....What a Wretched way to go...(taps music for the DUmmies playing in the background)
Hanging on till the end.eh!.. ?..
Eject the socialists and I might join up.
Would take a lot of Arkancides for that to happen though..
They won't go easily..
Sounds like this dummie along with all the others are going to be telling their children how they were "HAD" by the RAT party! Too funny for words!!!
Why do people insist on calling our government a democracy, when it is a republic instead?
Is that what we might call "FLIP FLOPPING"? LOL
Yep, that is how it goes in "DUmmie Land" sort of like Fantasy Land for DUmmies!
"The Democracy is dead" posts are all over the place. What democracy?????
Not one comment mentioning the Republic. Stalin would be proud.
Pray for W and Our Troops
OVARIES??? Well, that's a new one on me!! What the heck does that mean???
Some of the folks over there are just plain worn out. They've been whipped up into a conspiratorial frothy lather since November 2nd and today they ran into a brick wall of indifference from their party. It's like running on pure adreniline for hours and then falling into a heap, exhausted. So you'll see some "I'm through with politics" threads over there, too. Hell, last night I saw a guy who said he was starting to gain a new appreciation of his 2nd amendment right to bear arms (it's the coming liberal round up, don't you know?).
I suppose this is going to be standard fare from now on. Every time the Dems lose a presidential election they will claim it was stolen as Florida supposedly was. Sore Loserman lives on.
I saw that post earlier. Its so melodramatic, its funny.
I wish! They aren't going anywhere. They are having to much fun at their pity party they are throwing here in America.
PUKE!!
For the children sake, I hope they take them away from this lunatic.
