Soros and Moveon.org are our best shot at ousting Bush |
|
Edited on Sat Nov-29-03 10:25 AM by Ugnmoose
It will take money - lots of money. Soros has plenty of that and has shown a willingness, in fact even a passion, to spend it, to oust The Resident. And it will take the Internet and an organization with a large following like Moveon.org (1.8 million registered) to help spread the word.
Personally, I think the best use of money is twofold. First register, educate, motivate, and drive people to the polls. Even if it takes a block by block effort. Second, launch a massive advertising campaign that will blitz the airwaves and the major print media with ads that expose the hypocrisy of this administration.
It won't be easy, but I am encouraged that we appear to have the necessary forces in place to make it happen.

1. But we need a second party to fight the republicans. |
|
After this last week, I wonder if the Democrats have any ability to form a unified front. Bush is going to fight hard and dirty. The media is with him. The people are too busy watching Surviour etc. The predictions are already out - another terrorist attack right before the next election. If things are going against Bush, I predict we will have one. It will either be big enough to make the idiot population vote for him or big enough to allow him to cancel the elections.

I agree that we MUST join up with Soros and any other organization to get Bush out.

3. We don't need the Party |
|
Let the people speak and the Party will follow. Once the politicos see that we are serious and that we are a meaningful and powerful force they will have no choice but to cowtow to our wishes. But as I said it will take alot of money to change things. Fortunately we appear to have someone on the left with enormously deep pockets who wants to make it happen.

6. A small tremor can start an avalanche |
|
I think Soros' financial committment will encourage other wealth donor's to step up to the plate. We are already starting to see this happen.
