41. I just got off the phone with my republican office and...(LOOK below)
They tried to tell me Clinton and Carter spied illegally on Americans too.

Here's the kos debunker link for that

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/12/21/8157/6595

Recommend it and forward it to friends and foe.

10. Great story. The one who did it had a great idea. Also...
it just goes to show that the officials don't give a crap what regular people think. They figure that they can convince or scare them with ads and PR at election time. They care what big donors and leaders of big freaky fanatical groups think.

24. Shows me that it's not a waste of time to call Republican officials.
Matter of fact, those of us at DU represented in Congress by Republicans should go full court press on their GOP reps NOW: phone calls, faxes, e-mails, letters.

And we should have "Democrats for Republican Advocacy" lunches from coast-to-coast now...just to teach newly-outraged Republicans how to fight for their rights once more.

27. right on!
And start groups locally too! Get as many people involved as you can.

Be the media. Post flyers, write LTE, get a bumper sticker for your car, do it all.

25. What the fuck is this supposed to mean?
It seems even southern women can comprehend what warrantless spying means.

So is the author saying I'm fucking stupid, but I still know what warrantless spying means?

This would have been a good story but for the Southern bias displayed. God, I'm so tired of that shit.

26. She is from the south. Her comment was sarcasm at that
mentality out there. She lives near New Orleans and knows many people think of Southerners as "staunchly red-Bush supporters".

But at the DCP where that post originated there is no little tab to show when a person is using sarcasm, but everyone there knows this person and just KNOWS she's sarcastic and funny and dedicated too.

Actually, I don't know if Kos has those little sarcasm tags either.

Those tags can really help show the intent of a statement.

But the author is not saying you're stupid; she's saying that even the staunchest Bush supporter KNOWS the truth about warrentless spying.

44. OK - I understand.
Sorry - after all the anti-South threads on this board, I get my nose bent out of joint about it.

And, my nose is extraordinarily too small to get bent out of joint. LOL.

Thanks for explaining. I get a little blind-sighted about that sort of thing.

But this person is always trying to get the progressives and Democrats to come down south and to win the south back.

She tells us all the amazing stuff that happens when she posts her progressive message and anti-Bush message.

She talks a lot about the Democrats needing to bring HOPE to the south and by avoiding it, they let the Republicans spin their own message.

I don't know if she posts here at D.U., but you can talk to her at the Democracy Cell Project http://www.democracycellproject.net/blog

Also, you can find her chatting in the Democracy Cell Project's irc sometimes. Maybe you can give it a try.

I think it would be interesting to see all of you "Southerners" discussing the democratic party and the south. Maybe you would agree on things or maybe not, but I think it's important to keep trying.

And as far as myself, though I live in the cold north, my heart is in Dixie! (Especially at this time of year!) But I have relatives in GA, TN, TX, LA, and a terrific friend in MS.

37. Just sent to my email list - along with the toll free number to both Senat
and House - and said if they don't believe it would happen - just call their own and ask their own if they had plans to impeach.

Can you imagine all the wingnuts calling their own ReThugs to prove us wrong? LOL - Um, Senator ReThug, we've had 835 calls this morning alone and everyone was asking if we plan to impeach

but when I first started blogging, I'd never heard of repug or rethug or things like that.

48. Delightful...Though it did seem like giving a kid a sharp knife...
...and laughing at him as he bleeds all over the kitchen floor.

However the Rethugs are too stupid to know better and too hate-filled to have any sympathy for.

What is that German word again ???

(come on, you know it...)

50. The easiest votes to steal are the registered republican votes.
Or, I should say, their theft is the easiest to hide.
Great story, but unless we clean up the count it really won't matter how they vote.
(sorry for the downer)

53. well, they certainly own the system right now. But face to face helps
People have to take it outside their own groups and talk to others out there. Now more than ever it seems important to get nonvoters registered and to get people to post IMPEACH all over the place.

outrage, and to get them concerned about election fraud too.

55. I think it's important to make the Republicans realize they aren't
Republicans any longer.

Name 3 ways the Republicans today are the same as 30 years ago? I bet you can't.

But I bet you can name 3 ways that the moderate Democrats are the old Republicans of 30 years ago.

51. Beafreakingutiful!
Way to go. I know in the state of GA, though, taping conversations of which you are a part is NOT illegal, even if the other party doesn't know it. The thought is, there is no expectation of privacy if you are saying it to a person who is taping it.

I don't know about "interstate" from state to DC or LA law, but one MIGHT be able to tape such calls. Don't know.

Great story. Would have loved to have heard it.
