A Kerry victory does not garuntee all the things he promises

[noahmijo]

I'm already gearing up for this to happen.

I don't doubt Kerry will work to make good with his platform promises.

What I fear though is a Republican controlled congress blocking his initiatives such as investing in healthcare, education, repealing the tax cuts on the richest.

Then when the economy gets worse, ect the talking heads and the rethugs will fill our tv screens and say "you see things have only gotten WORSE under Kerry, you see under Kerry here, the deficit is still growing, our schools and hospitals are falling apart, ect ect"

They will spin this out of control on levels we already know that they are capable of because they have no shame. They will have Joe America convinced that under Kerry, terrorists are now capable of stealing your daughters while you sleep because he "refused to fund the fight against terrorism"

Taking back the congress is just as important as electing Kerry in my opinion.

2. That's right. We need to take the Congress.

Maybe we should just post who voted for the Medicare bill.

3. Absobloominlutely right!

We have to work to get as many Dems as possible elected to Congress.

4. Maybe the Dems need to professionally point out how the rethugs' policies

have done the real damage.

They feel free to angrily shout lies about Clinton's dealings, so why can't we cooly tell the truth?!

5. Exactly right and THIS is the most important thing for progressives

the most progressive president on the planet could not accomplish anything without at LEAST one house...we MUST take back congress and clean house
