Maybe I'm nuts, but I HAVE to think something is going on behind the scene |
|
As pissed as we DUers are (most of who aren't in any position to actually DO anything) there MUST be some high-powered attorneys & "shakers/movers" out there trying to figure out what the -real- vote totals are...last number I heard (yesterday, been out of the loop since noon Wed) was about 107 million - I am absolutely convinced there must have been at LEAST 120. Hell, even this little punk precinct out here in the sticks had 982 votes; a "normal" turnout is about 550 to 600. What the hell are Kerry's "5000" lawyers doing? Anything? Dammit.

1. The silence is strangely eerie, isn't it? |

2. I am also hoping that that is the case |
|
but they could not come out unless they have a virtually Iron-clad case. Otherwise the 'liberal' media will destroy them. I just hope they can do it.
The Third Reich was bad enough, we don't need a Fourth.

3. little dogs like us have to do what we can and... |
|
BARK BARK BARK.
we need to call, write, post, contact, volunteer. This is massive fraud and the evidence is not well covered. Hopefully leaders will tell us what to do and how to do it.

I would not like to think after all we bled for them that they would just walk away and declare things a wash.
That might be the one thing that has us so...disoriented.
We here are all fighters. We have proven that over and over again. And we'll fight again. But we need the marching orders.

I don't know that it will lead to anything, but I can't believe that all those people just packed up and went home.

10. why have we not heard from Al Gore? |
|
Is he out there or is he working behind the scenes?
:shrug: I'm with you, I think it is too quiet and things are going on that we don't know about.

15. You Merh, you're right. I can't recall hearing from the Clintons, |
|
President Carter, Wesley Clark or even Dr. Dean since Tuesday. Maybe something is up.

11. Maybe part of the strategy too |
|
is to let * do like he did today, and immediately lay out his radical right agenda. Get any moderates who MAY have voted for him to start second-guessing their decision, and agreeing that maybe we should take some extra care to figure out just how accurately votes were counted.
Marginalize *, get more support, you never know.
If the Democrats truly aren't doing anything, we will need to completely demolish and reconstruct the entire party.

12. I have irrational hope |
|
Every time I log into my Yahoo home page or DU I half expect to see a headline: "Massive Fraud Uncovered" or "Vote Undercounted" or "Whistleblower Steps Forward: Vote Rigged".
Still looking.

14. I also just remembered something |
|
Wednesday, it was reported on CNN that Kerry's lawyers wanted him to fight, but he said no. Could that've been put out there by the Kerry people as a bit of disinfo?

17. It could be, they know they can review the votes and put up |
|
a fight if the press leaves them alone and if the repukes just sit back fat and happy as winners.
Go to the Presidential Election forum, there are threads there where posters are analysing the Ohio report, it appears to be full of errors.

19. Since I'm still an eternal optimist |
|
I am still hoping that this is true.
If Kerry hadn't conceded yesterday the Bush attack machine would have been in high gear.
Now they are too busy slapping themselves on the back and taking off their masks, showing the world who and what they really are.
Pray that the Kerry people still have a few tricks up their sleeve. Our lives are depending on them.

but I tend to write it off as wishful thinking. To live in a country that elected the Gerbil twice (well, once--maybe) is difficult to bear. The thought of Dan Rather breaking into a regularly scheduled program to announce <Ohio recount shows Kerry won or BBV has irrefutable proof of massive electoral fraud or God has invalidated the election based on the incredible gullibility of his Xian followers> pops into my head two or three times a day.

25. They got the media pressure off 'em |
|
Let's see if they take the fight to the electoral college. Remember when the black caucas tried to protest the election results in 2000? All's they needed was a Senator's signature. Edwards will still be in the Senate :evilgrin:
