Bummed? I know how you feel
When the election was stolen from Kerry in 2004 by the e-vote machines, I was as bummed as I ever could be.

Bounced back from that, tho. And even worked hard to campaign for Obama.
This is a setback, but not nearly as bad as 2004. You'll overcome. Trust me.

1. I wish there were progressive rallies to go to like the tea baggers have rallies to go to.
At least then we could be having some fun. Misery loves company and getting together to make some noise sure helps.

We need to be as demonstrative as the right is!

2. Yeah
Well, we did put the kabosh on the e-vote by an concerted effort of probably just 5,000 activists who never made the news.

But last year there were quite a few large rallies as Obama campaigned. It was a good reason to gather, and the response from the wrong was to get their teabagging parties going, which are now dieing off, eh?

4. Tea baggers are meeting in smaller groups to effect the next election.
They are not making the news but they are still active.

5. Yep
Smaller and smaller. Pretty soon they'll be nothing more than a cold cup of icky, polluted water that no one will want to drink.

They were a product of the Insurance corporation funding and faux news.
