Breaking News: Political Process is Dead In America

[spanone]

When fools like o'neill get a podium to spew lying venemous bullshit that is miles from the truth, it is all over. I'm just about to quit this shit because the TRUTH DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.

[Fovea]

1. Man, I hate to say this to you

But this is not breaking news, unless this is 1994.

[spanone]

2. Some people are under the delusion that we are still 'free' in

this country....wrong. the truth is DEAD. George Bush has taken this country so far down the road of dirty politics .....it is dead. TRUH DOESN'T MATTER.

4. Hang In There

These things do take time. But I feel the same frustration. Bush is a lying, sleazy scumbag, and I am outraged that the media have not been harder on the bastard. If he gets re-elected, then we can play Taps for America. Until then we have to do everything in our power to kick him out.

3. Relax, they are almost done.

There can't be hardly any shows left that this clown hasn't been on. Kerry is going to have to push back hard but that will take time. The light was only turned on their lies last Thursday and it will take repetition for that thought to get into the collective mind of the American public.

5. I know that but the damage is done.

This is already in the minds of the voters...this is the Karl Rove way. It's like telling a jury to disavow testimony they have already heard. It doesn't work. The LIE LIVES.

12. It can work. It's called cross-examination and is happening every day

in courtrooms throughout America. Let the other guy tell his story and then blow holes through it the size of Winnebagos. It will take a while but I think this was played right.

The Kerry campaign knew since last spring that this group would come gunning for him no matter what. Do you really believe that they were caught off-guard? Please. They KNEW that this was an area where they would be hit really, really, hard (they saw what happened to McCain and Cleland) and I believe they planned for it.

9. But they repeatedly get a mike on the same shows, day after day!

Haven't some of the swifities been on Scarborough repeatedly, for instance?

[alcuno]

13. I haven't seen the same guys on.

My favorites are the ones who weren't even in the vicinity being run through the grist mill by that Hurley guy.

Some of them will have wives who finally tell them to sit down and shut up because they don't know what they are talking about.

6. And I blame this sordid situation in large part on the feableness

and spinlessness of the democratic legislatures in congress and their pseudo experts in the DLC who for so long have had their heads stuck in their a**holes hoping that the rethuglicans play fair. This is despite the obvious raping of the constitution and traditions of governmental instutions. They (democratic legislators and DLC'ers) keep using the expression "* is a good man" or "* is an affable man" and thus undercut whatever charges that is being levelled at * at that time. How they cannot face the facts that * is gunning for absolute elimination of all oppositions is still a mistery to me.

This does not begin to address the fact the democrats created their own worse nemesis by buying into the fascist idea of removing all restrains on the media - thus President Clinton and the democrats helped to engender the growth of Faux Network and all the RW echo chanber in the media via corporate ownership of the major media.

I hate it when they do shitty things to us and all we do is try to be gentlemanly or try to be cool. No! it is time to fight back and with red-hot fire too! If John Kerry wants to play nice and gentlemanly, well he had better know that history will never, ever be kind to him for not recognizing the danger he is putting everyone of us that have placed his/her trust in him to fight hard and uncompromising all the time. DON NOT LET THEM DO TO YOU (KERRY) WHAT THEY DID TO CARTER, DUKAKIS and GORE, instead DO TO THEM WHAT CLINTON DID TO HW, DOLE and KEN STAR - TAKE NO SH*T FROM ANYONE and TELL THE DLC TO TAKE A SEAT IN THE BACK ROW!

7. Think 1992.

The BS will spew higher and higher, but we've beaten JR Ewing and his kin before. Two years ago, this was my prediction about how we'd have a chance in the general election: that the Bush machine would get just a little too bold attacking our nominee's patriotism, and that we'd have the chance for some blowback. Here 'tis.

Bozo...Russia...draft dodging...affairs. He still won, and if Clinton had the sense to have kept his slick willie under wraps, history would have turned out differently.

Now think 2000. Same crap, and we ended up with a tie running a guy who ran a pretty bad campaign. We've done it before, we can do it again.

The most important things you can do are (1) tell everyone you personally know that the stories about Kerry are lies, and that Bush is trying to McCain him, (2) make sure everyone who wants to vote for Kerry (or at least for ABB) gets registered and votes, and (3) keep e-mailing complaints against examples of media bias.

8. We'll know in November

[spanone]

10. I only hope that the votes get counted. I doubt it. Sadly, I doubt it.

[bushwakker]

11. I'm a pessimist

i think you have to be. expecting AWOL to be defeated can only lead to major depression.

14. People like O'Neill have *always* gotten a podium

Read about the 1864 election, and read about some of the psychopaths who had a national audience before television or radio.

Thus it has ever been.
