We all here believe in democracy, correct?
So, to those "friends" asking us to "move on", "get over it", "plan for 2008", "we shouldn't try to find if "*" stole it...", "the exit polls are no good in the USA", "this is not productive" and all the rest of fairy tales and talking points that they want to push on us...

Why ARE YOU SO INSISTENT?

What is your REAL motivation?

If you want to work elsewhere and focus on "real issues", START BY NOT WASTING YOUR TIME ON US, UNIMPORTANT AND IGNORANT "MORTALS."

Is my democratic right to use my time in things THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR ME AND A BUNCH OF FRIENDS I HAVE HERE IN DU.

What a lot of good people is doing on this forum is work hard trying to get our country back. You don't "agree" with it, watch football!

Next topic.

2. Elections do not change facts about *'s history.
It's not pretty! How many f***-ups is he responsible for? We're supposed to just do a memory wipe!?

4. Well, I still believe in it, but...
I really did not appreciate just how fragile it was, or how ready I am to fight to restore it.

5. Yeah--isn't this RUDE?
I thought for right up to nearly the last minute that there was hope the Dems could gain control of the Senate.
But about the same time Kerry lost the Popular vote and lost Ohio, seven Senate races went south--about 1:15, 1:30 a.m., 11/3/04.
Now, W. has all three branches for another at least two years.
And some suspicious elections equipment in place--that's going uninvestigated by Congress.
our two-party system is in danger--just that fast.

7. Their argument makes no sense anyway
If they believe there was fraud, they should also believe it would be expressed in the exit polls. We only have the exit poll data we have, so we might as well take what we have and analyze the hell out of it.

9. If you really want to move on to the next topic
why post a thread like this? :shrug:

I personally think things have been getting better lately around here.

10. Wrong
At least 10 new posters showed up during the last 3 days.

They repeat the same talking points CONCERNING A SINGLE TOPIC.

I understand if you have some other interests. Nothing wrong with that.

Regards.

12. No, I beg to differ.....
It's getting worse.
What they're up to now is bringing their new freeper friends along on these ridiculous threads they start.
We're completely infested with vermin.

13. Maybe I've just begun to block them out
I still don't see what the point is of starting a whole thread about this. In my view, you either ignore them, or respond directly to the offending individual. I don't grasp the point of giving them all this attention. Granted, here I am posting in this thread...I really am trying to understand how this helps?

15. I was responding to them, but I have now decided against it. What they'r
looking for is attention...like a bad little child, some NEGATIVE attention.

If we all ignore them, they will not get all the fuss they are so desparately craving, and they'll eventually go back to their smelly little holes in Freeperville.

16. Sure Karen, they might
Edited on Tue Jan-18-05 04:20 PM by RaulVB
But is an interesting pattern.

IMO, we should be aware of it.

17. IMO too, we should surely be aware of it.
I wish they'de go away...When I see them, I feel like they are VERY unwanted visitors in my home.
I can't even count the times I alerted the Mods, but that does not help.

So maybe ignoring them???...It's kind of difficult for me, because that's not my personality type, but all my retorts just seemed to add fuel to their propaganda machines.

19. My take is this:
They are spreading propaganda and well learned talking points.

I don't know...this is a public forum for progressives.

Is evident if you're not one, I would say.

I believe that if you're not interested in a topic, you "don't have to" post in such a tread.

Simple.
