Here's what I've digested from recent posts about the Massachusetts election... |
|
1) There's no point in continuing the campaign, because the Dielbold machines will shift all the votes to the Republican.
2) Even if Coakley wins, she'll be a corporatist sellout and nothing will change in Washington.
3) Whatever happens, the "Mainstreem Media" will spin the story as a repudiation of the Obama Administration
3) Let's face it, it would be better if Coakley lost, because that will help bring about a Single-Payer health care plan before the 2010 election.
Have I forgotten anything?

1. If she wins, it will be because the Dem machine stole the election. n/t |

2. 5. If Coakley wins, we'll just forget to bitch about the Diebold machines, OK? |

4. People are preparing their fallback excuses |
|
Because facing the truth of what is happening here - that anti-establishment fervor among average people is red-hot and getting hotter - is too much for people to come to terms with at this time.

I'm thinking we need a mental health intervention.

But with #2, she would fit right in....I think that already applies to 85% of congress. :(
