5. I am sorry, but it truly is moments like these Ih8 where I realize these
men/women don't represent us. Give me a viable third party candidate...and it can be done...and I'll support him/her to my last penny. I am sorry, but I am honest.

13. Don't envy my position.
Bill Nelson (traitor-D) verses Katherine Harris (Bush-enabler) or a slew of other right-wing idiots.

17. The Republicans hold a majority because they know how to rally their base
Unlike the Democrats.

16. EXACTLY!
The Dems have left us unrepresented once again.

All they did was lend their votes to the GOP today, and in doing so they removed them from our party!!

21. Now THAT'S a REAL Bingo!

19. Like it could get any easier?
A difference which makes no difference IS no difference. I'm in total sympathy with those who have had enough spineless B.S. from the party establishment. If the Dems haven't the guts to put the stake through the heart of this evil empire NOW, just when is a better time? Bush's numbers are in the crapper, a majority of Americans no longer support this illegal war, half the GOP seems involved in one corruption scandal after another, folks are going broke trying to pay for health care, gas and heating costs are up, etc etc, et al.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

11. In our GOP Dictatorship, party-affiliation doesn't mean terribly much.
I don't think it's going to matter whether I'm Democrat, Green Party, Independent, or Bachelor Party. The sad part is that so many registered Republicans think the GOP represents them.

23. You know what instead of that how about we take all the
energy from this weekend and take back the Democratic party - I mean it join the local party lets infiltrate it and take it back. Third party will take too long - I say that should be our next move

TAKE BACK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
GET RID OF THE DLC
FIX THE VOTING MACHINES
TAKE BACK THE MEDIA

should be easy - lol - but that's what we need to do

24. After this we're all independent...
meaning each man for himself. This nation has been bought and paid for, and until the new owner goes broke, or craps out, it's their ball game, and we are all spectators.
