Attention Eeyores, your negative attitude helps Bush get away with this

[Melodybe]

shit. I have a petition table every week in front of the Ole Miss Union. I am collecting signatures for verified voting, citizens against the draft, and support for HR 181 (a bill that supports adding parental consent to the New Freedom Comission) and every week I talk to both democrats and republicans. For the last 2 years I have working my ass off with the college democrats, and in that 2 years one thing has changed, republicans. The tide is actually turning, the word is getting out,for goodness sake, even people like Jim Lampley, of HBO Boxing, is blogging about election fraud and Diebold!

The internet and people like Micheal Moore, Greenday, and the Daily Show are getting the truth out.

So could the folks that insist on coming here and repeating crap like no one cares, people are too stupid to figure out the truth, nothing we do works, doom, gloom, etc, etc, etc, please stop helping Bush get away with all this shit.

Everything that Bushco does is a mind fuck, everything. They want us to believe that no one cares, they want us to believe that people are ok with lying, people are ok with fascism.

Well it is not fucking true, so cut it out!

Look at polls lately, before the election almost every political poll I voted in, no matter what the topic, was spilt about 55/45. Now every poll I go to is atleast 70% in our favor, Terry Schivo, the filibuster, Delay, Bolten, medicare. People are finally starting to point the finger in the right direction, they are getting pissed at Bush, and we ARE gaining ground.

So dear Eeyores, I love you but for once could you try to look at the bright side of things.

:grouphug:I think you all need it.

I'm reposting this cause obviously people here need to hear it.

2. As a compassionate independent,...

,...the perpetual shrill posts demonizing the Dems not in power are getting on my goshdamn nerves because IMO distracting from defeating a common enemy serves to the benefit of that enemy.

Thanks for the post.

3. cynicism does play into their hands

If we are always "looking down a hole", we will never see opportunities as they come up--and believe me, they will! The worm is going to turn--you'll see. There have been a lot of signs lately. For one thing, the media is getting really fed up with the WH! Listen to their tones at the WH daily briefings. I saw David Gregory (NBC) with a really pissed off expression on his face as he frustratingly tried to get McClellan to admit to something. If those liars lose the media, they lose everything.

So watch and wait, or better yet, become part of the process. This country is bigger than this bunch of Neocon thugs.

4. Three years ago, those of us on DU called ourselves the 10 percenters. . .

as that was the percentage of people in the country opposed to BushCo. Today, we're more accurately called the 'almost 60 percenters,' as that's the current number who oppose them.

So my question to those Melodybe humorously dubs the Eeyores is: Who's more confused, the so-called 'sheeple' who now oppose BushCo in increasing numbers, or you?

6. Amen!

I blasted some newsroom personnel a few days ago for asserting that "no one cares." It is simply not true. Ignorance is masquerading as apathy. Get the word out and people care.

11. I truly believe it.

Everyone I have spoken to about election fraud, the UK memo, the Newsweek article was in full shrug mode until I explained it to them. Then alarm set in. Education is a big issue. That's why Faux News is so successful. They are generating care....for the wrong things by means of an education that is no better than indoctrination.

7. I agree

And thank you for your work.

8. Gush durn right!!! We have the momentum now, 2006 is looking

like it might be a windfall for us if the righty reps and sens keep blindly supporting the admin.

I actually have hope that we can get an impeachment before 08!

9. Right On! The pendulum...

never stops swinging, and we only slow it down pissing and moaning about how bad things are.

If you don't believe it will get better, it never will.
