3. Just keep reminding people that the Newt taught the GOP to keep telling
a lie over and over until people believe it, therefore, anything they keep repeating is probably a lie.

5. That's why this Win is going to be so Fantastic!
The People vs the corporates, the corporate media and their whores.

It feels so good to be on the side of the People!

6. Well it certainly defies logic
I don't think he did as well as Clinton or Obama, but he gave a decent speech.

11. Everyone I've talked to at work and other functions thought
Kerry gave a brilliant speech. They all had their own unique brand of brilliance to their speeches.

We have to do something about cnn. I appreciate knowing what the enemy is up to so we can write and call them. cnn is worse than faux because faux has been outted in "Outfoxed"..

Somebody needs to make a video about cnn.

8. I posted this already, but who cares.
I'm not sure where you get your news, but that is just plain untrue. Did you watch the convention on C-SPAN? It was incredible. Over 24 million people watched.

You have to read past the headlines. MSNBC titles this article "A Baby Bounce", but look at the actual content. Here's a sample:

Kerry and Edwards have gained ground on several key election issues. For the first time in the NEWSWEEK poll, as many voters strongly back Kerry as strongly back Bush (31 percent to 30 percent). In an election expected to be decided by a small number of unaffiliated voters, independents now lean toward Kerry by a margin of 45 percent to 39 percent, with Nader pulling 7 percent. And voters are becoming more likely to predict a Kerry victory in November: Forty-four percent say Kerry will win vs. 43 percent who predict Bush.

Who cares what the repugs say. They are known liars.

10. People need to quit thinking CNN matters
They have at best a couple million viewers, most of them committed partisans on one side or the other.

They influence no one, except those of us who allow them to bring us down.
