Today I could skip and sing, my heart is light - we're NOT morons!
Bush's poll numbers are sinking - not like a stone, but like the side of a mountain. Brave men in leadership positions in our armed forces are voicing dissent. Americans in statehouse across the country are calling for bills of impeachment. Rush and Sean sound querulous and disoriented as they keep trying to defend the indefensible.

32% approval rating?! We are REJECTING Bush. He does not reflect the majority of Americans. We KNOW that we are not pre-emptive warriors, we know that we are not torturers, we know that we believe in the Constitution. We have talked to our fathers, who fought off evil in the past. We have seen ourselves too long as wearing white hats and representing the forces of good in the world to toss off those hats so dismissively to fight for . . .? What? A new world order? An oiltacracy? a theocracy? an oligarchy?

Hang on world, the real America is about to re-emerge! We are all waking up from our national nightmare.

1. It is certainly very gratifying
I don't think the Republicans have given up, and we can expect them to fight viciously, but there's a lot of reasons to be optimstic.

2. "We're not dumb and we're not blind" I hope we are waking from
our national nightmare. I am really tired.

3. Too bad polls don't count for s*! neither do votes for that matter.
I saved this from an article that says it more eloquently than me:


"You really have to wonder what kind of bloated house-bound moron could think slumping polls and plummeting approval ratings would worry a gang of fanatics who stole two elections in a row, invaded a country they knew couldn’t defend itself, and gave a male hustler White House security clearance."

6. You're not raining on my parade.
It's a lot easier to steal elections when you're talking 48/52 or 50/50 or 51/49

It's a lot harder to steal them when 70% of the f!@#ing country realizes they are led by a Liar/Leaker in Chief who probably has someone else tie his shoelaces in the morning.

9. believe me, the busheviks are terrified
yes, some of them are so stupid they can just ignore their approaching doom, but doomed they are, and they know it...tom ridge, ari fliesher, john asscrack, sam donaldson, tom brocawcaw, alan greenspan, sally quinn, dan rawther, richard perle, david frump, novak, judas miller, ted olsen and god knows how many other rats who fled the bush death ship cuz they want to be totally forgotten when the sheet hits the fan-the rest of the criminals are trapped like they're in hitler's bunker, with the soviet army searching for the door....

4. We've been right all along
haven't we. It sure has taken a lot to move public opinion, but it seems to be happening. Slowly....like the Titanic turning to avoid the iceberg.

Another thing is....once opinion does start to turn, past misdeeds and issues can come back to a more receptive audience. DSM, Medicare lies, energy task force, resignation letters of diplomats, etc....all should climb out of the memory hole and be examined again.

It would be good for Cindy Sheehan to ask again: "What was the noble cause my son died for?"

15. 18181 votes!
consider what people are going to say when its revealed that in the '02 congressionals, 3 gopigs were elected by exactly 18181 (?) votes! It is so obvious that the fix was in, and someone screwed up (or was teasing bush plague-of-locusts hq!)
expect that the bush protection team heavyweights (in the msn) will be quietly retiring any day now :)

11. You won't find any parade-raining here!
WE who have seen through this Administration's lies from the beginning are now being joined by our fellow citizens.

WE anti-Bush, anti-NeoCons, anti-war, anti-torture Americans are now THE MAJORITY!

Yes, it took a long time for some of our fellow countrymen to realize the truth, but THAT time has come - and it's a movement that is growing stronger every day.

The Repubs are on the defensive, and on the run (from Bush and all he stands for). And the voters out there who traditionally vote GOP now KNOW, without question, WHO TO THANK for $3-per-gallon gas, energy bills through the roof, nothing but death and destruction in Iraq, and the loss of their jobs.

Don't hear much BRAGGING from the Republicans these days about how they control the Senate, the Congress and the White House - do you now?

12. Not only NOT bragging
Edited on Mon Apr-24-06 07:44 PM by Phoebe Loosinhouse
Someone somewhere posted that they are going to have a hidious time because they HAVE NO EXCUSE! The Repubs have been in charge of both houses and the Executive Branch and they could not have made a bigger hash of it had they tried.

No Excuse! No Excuse! No Excuse!

You can really write! I see little wisps of smoke come off my computer screen and I say, "damn!"

You lead the way.
