Your title has Teddy Kennedy running scared...NEVER use "crash" and "water" in the same sentence around "Splash" Kennedy
To: RightWingNilla
Oh forgot this one from DU:
They want to start an "Impeach Bush" movement! Also, they are using the "F" word about sKerry!!
To: chris9soccer
Here is another juicy marxist tidbit from the DU
"REALITY: Idiot Bush DESTROYED US!!!!!! We need to face the truth!!! Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 04:38 PM by leftyandproud Bush has 286 electoral votes, and he won by 3.8 million POPULAR votes...receiving more support than ANY PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY. The Republicans gained 4 Senate seats. The Senate now has 55 Republicans vs 44 democrats. In the HOUSE, it was worse. The GOP picked up 8 more seats, adding to their majority. All of this is IN ADDITION to the gains they made in 2002!! Republicans also gained important STATE houses in Indiana and Missouri and retained power elsewhere. For the past two elections, they have added to their majority in all three branches of government, and they have won more governorships across the country than EVER before.
Let's face it. 9-11 pulled the country to the right. America is now a conservative (stupid) nation."

The Rising of the Moon
Ireland.
Oh, then tell me Sean O'Farrell,
tell me why you hurry so.
Hush me Buchall hush and listen,
and his cheeks were all a-glow.
I bear orders from the captain,
Get you ready quick and soon,
For the pikes must be together
By the Rising of the Moon.
Chorus:
By the Rising of the Moon,
By the Rising of the Moon,
For the pikes must be together
By the Rising of the Moon.
Oh, then tell me Sean O'Farrell
Where the gathering is to be.
In the old spot by the river,
Right well known to you and me.
One more word for signal token,
Whistle up the marching tune.
With your pike upon your shoulder
By the Rising of the Moon.
Chorus:
By the Rising of the Moon,
By the Rising of the Moon,
With your pike upon your shoulder
By the Rising of the Moon.
Out of many a mud wall cabin
Eyes were watching thru' the night.
Many a manly heart was throbbing
For the coming morning light.
Murmers ran along the valley,
Like the banshee's lonely croon,
And a thousand pikes were flashing
By the Rising of the Moon.
Chorus:
By the Rising of the Moon,
By the Rising of the Moon,
And a thousand pikes were flashing
By the Rising of the Moon.
There beside the singing river
That dark mass of men were seen,
Far above their shining weapons hung
Their own beloved green.
Death to every foe and traitor,
Forward strike the marching tune,
And hurrah me boys for freedom,
Tis the Rising of the Moon.
Chorus:
Tis the Rising of the Moon,
Tis the Rising of the Moon,
And hurrah me boys for freedom,
Tis the Rising of the Moon.

Of course he didn't "have to do that". He could have taken Edwards' advice and pursued it as zealously as the Repugs would were they in this position.

that can't find a candiate who can beat somebody as bad as Bush. I don't think any of the original primary candidates could have won. Is that the best we can do?
We also need to face the fact that a traditional Northeast liberal is not going to win. Kennedy was the last one and he barely slid through. |

In order for the Islamic Fundamentalist agenda to continue they will require an America who will continue to abuse their base, will continue to suppress their people, and will continue to give them a reason to fight on. Bush is a good thing for terrorists; Bush is a fundamentalist himself and so we have an administration who is fighting on the terrorist's level. |

Temporarily (Perhaps): I've lost faith in the young vote. I've lost faith in this country's ability to recognize truth -- I've lost faith in American democracy. I no longer identify with American "democracy." I no longer identify with the majority of Americans. I am proud that my state went overwhelmingly for the better guy and I'm glad that my state is part of the north-eastern brain of America. Still -- I feel like this country is on its way to falling. Terrorists need not attack us -- terrorists need not worry about destroying America; Americans will do that themselves it seems.
We may lose our judicial system for decades. We may lose our freedom in the name of preventing false threats. Saudi Arabia won an election today -- Osama Bin Laden & Fundamentalism itself won an election today. Unfortunately and unlike these winners -- the American people will ultimately lose.

I feel the same way, Goob. The exact same way. The only vindication I have is that my home of New Jersey also voted for the guy with the brains in his head (but no spine, apparently)rather than the guy with a bible up his butt. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG!
When the Patriot Act gets expanded (as Bush has pledged) and we lose our civil rights, when women will be forced to forfeit their lives during labor, when gays will be chased with a broom back into the closet, when the war drags on too long and the draft comes about (the draft would've happened under Kerry too if he couldn't get us out of there), when everyone withdraws their money from social security and today's seniors are left scratching their asses, when the middle class is utterly destroyed and everyone is either rich or poor, I will scream at any Bush supporter who complains, "Are you happy now?!"
Then I will move to Canada. |

| 78. Calm down people. The votes still get counted. Kerry had to do it. |
|
|
|
Concessions don't stop the vote count. The vote cannot be certified in Ohio until all of the legal votes are counted. Kerry had no choice here. The numbers don't look likely - but in the unlikely event that he would end up carrying Ohio - he wins regardless of any concessions. He can then unconcede and claim victory. |

He could have very calmly and in a smiling mood say that all of the votes and contested counting would have to be finalized before anyone conceded anything. No point in rushing this, do the work, count the votes, sort out the messes, then see what the results are. There is always time to concede anywhere down the line. It did not have to be done now. |

| 92. Well, now we pick up the pieces... |

|

I think we need new blood in the party on both the public and behind-the-scenes level. I have decided to take a much more hands-on approach to politics within the next two years, as I am already looking at how to run for some local offices.
There can be no second honeymoon for Bush--we need to start hammering home that Republicans are in fairly complete control of the government, and they can not blame mistakes on anyone else. We need to be ready to step in early and show a viable choice for the voters in 2006 (here's hoping Dean takes over the DNC leadership) whenever republicans step on toes. Of course, I am discouraged by last night, but I am hoping this actually produces a rock-solid core that we can rebuild around and be ready to come out swinging every single time from here on out.
I am not giving up hope in this country of ours; I will not believe that people will watch it disappear without incident; I can not accept that a defeat today is the end of the world. Now is the time to show that we are true democrats, and that we will not roll over. Let a few heads in the DNC roll, get back to work, and accept this as a fact that our party needs to work harder. In less than 2 years we will be seen as the candle flickering in the dark. |

You "will not believe that people will watch it disappear without incident"? What kind of "incident" are you looking for? It is kind of like the old skit where the little guy says "just step over this line and I'll punch you out!" And the guy steps over the line and the little guy draws a second line and says, Ok, just step over this line." And on and on. This is no longer the country we all thought it was. We have killed over 100,000 citizens in Iraq over the past 18 months and the American people don't care. The Bush gang is stealing the US blind, right in front of our noses, and the American people don't care. The Bush gang is systematically removing all of our civil rights and the American people don't care. It doesn't really matter what the Democratic party looks like, if it doesn't reflect what the American people actually are - brutish, racist, conquerors who have no concern for human rights; wild-eyed religious fanatics who want to bring back stonings and burnings and slavery; plantation owners who want to breed the better work force. No, dividing the physical country into parts is our only hope - and that would take a real, bloody war to accomplish. |

I cannot reason why this happened in order to make sense out of it--there are at least ten different reasons I keep playing over in my head trying to come up with the "a hah" moment.
Truth is that it doesn't matter much at all what reason; Bush won. A majority of people in this country voted for his brand of fascism. They have sealed their/our fate.
What is left of the Democratic party is a pile of dead, spent ashes. I have no solution as to how it can be fixed. I have a nagging suspicion that not too many think it has to be fixed at all and will continue on playing games in Congress much to their egotistic delight.
I think it will take a very long time to return to the America I once knew. |

|
|

By all means Bush won an overwhelming popular vote. As a supporter of popular vote -- I understand why Kerry has to concede here.
The difference between Bush and Kerry is that Kerry has integrity and is the better guy.
Hold on tight -- stick together -- we need to pick ourselves up off the floor and grow stronger. |

| 111. Add to this their gains in the House and Senate. |
|

Add to this their gains in the House and Senate for two elections in a row, and I have to say they finally have a mandate. I say the Democratic party should concentrate on rebuilding the party and building a propaganda arm to combat that of the Rightwing and let the Republicans govern as they see fit.
Let the Republicans give this country the fvcking it so desires. When the Rightwing nutjobs propose replacing the Income Tax with a 23% National Sales Tax, I say Dems should reply "the country gave you the mandate" and vote Aye. From that moment forward the largest tax paid by all Americans will be a Republican tax. The Republicans will henceforth be known as the tax-and-spend party. And, of course, with Republicans firmly in charge, it should prove impossible to blame the ensuing 50% inflation rate on Democrats as companies start passing on their extra 23% cost to the customer.
Okay, I realize that 50% inflation rate is probably low. If the manufacturer passes his 23% cost increase to the wholesaler, then the wholesaler will be paying 23% more for the product PLUS a 23% sales tax on the purchase of that product. So the wholesaler's cost has increased about 50% which will be passed on to the retailer who will also have to pay an additional 23% sales tax on that purchase. Which leaves the retailer's cost increase around 75% to be passed onto the consumer. This leaves the consumer paying a 23% sales tax on a product selling for 75% more.
Yeah. I like the idea of doubling the cost of everything. Should make people REAL happy with the Republican party. |

Here's one:
---I don't know what form a progressive rebirth is going to have to take in this country, but I think the Democratic Party will be long gone by the time it happens.
The majority of the American people are like alcoholics or crack addicts, hooked on a simplistic ideology that makes them feel like God's annointed rulers of the world. As with any addiction, the addict will cling to it, and refuse to accept any rational evidence that shows how destructive it is to them. Given the choice between a real life and the addiction, the latter will win every time.
The cycle will not end until the addict has hit rock bottom, and has nowhere else to go.
So it is with America. However much of a mess Bush has made of this country, it isn't enough for the American voter to see the light and abandon their addiction. There's a lot further to fall yet -- and it will likely be painful for all of us. Plus, not all addicts make it back from rock bottom. But, until that stage is reached, any attempt we may make to turn the country back from its addiction -- whether by finding charismatic new candidates, developing effective programs, turning back to our roots or moving to the center -- will likely fall every bit as far short as we did this year.---
