..."Moderate" Democrats running to the front of the line to reinforce a false impression (that Kerry was belittling the troops rather than Bush) that the Republicans want the electorate to be misled into having?

If the players were reversed, would Republicans be doing this to themselves???

1. Maybe I'm naive saying this, but...
It's now 6 days. I think the Democrats have closed the deal.

Even stupid? probably.

This ain't over by a long shot.

6. I so hope you're right.
What I thought were going to be an enjoyable 6 days now makes me afraid to look. Hopefully, this will pass in a day or two and I'm just worrying for nothing. :hide:

3. we havent "blown it" any of the times. not in 00 02 or 04.
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 01:13 PM by bullimiami
we have had it stolen from us. what we didnt do was fight, instead we meekly bent our backs and retuurned to our toil.

kerrys comments are insignificant. rove has nothing of substance so he is grasping at anything and blowing it into a false storm.

the thing that really boils me again is that the MSM is going along and perpetuating the lying propaganda when they should have and easily could have gotten the facts. why does the MSM hate america so much that they would conspire with lying wannabe fascists? that is the question.

9. I think you know why: MSM are largely the partners of the wannabe fascists.
It's not just Rove blowing this up, unfortunately. Other DEMS are doing Rove's work for him. :banghead:

5. it's okay
the rate of spillage of disaster from this administration, including congressional nonsense, Iraq, gaffes like macaca, will exceed the life of this buzz. You're hearing this repeated so often because it's the only thing to say that looks like it 'balances' the deluge of disaster on the other side. Be at peace, my friend. The math is on our side. Now, let's just hope the voting machines recognize mathematics.

7. Rove is planting the self-doubt. We are going to win big time.
America has had it with fake cowboys, neo-cons, protecting pedophiles, promoting torture, and dragging the US image through the mud while raising the deficit to untold heights. Democratic party takes the House and Senate. End of story.

PS, make sure you and your friends vote.

8. We're pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I hope it doesn't happen this year, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I will say one thing. If we can not get a majority in the house or senate, it will be very hard for me to even give a shit about politics anymore.
