4. Are you being facetious?
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 08:53 AM by RationalRose
if you're not, you're delusional and/or a disruptor.

On edit: my apologies-just saw Pitt's thread!

10. Not a disruptor.
This is like those pre-debate threads, remember? "We're so outclassed! B*sh is the world's greatest debater, Senator Kerry is doooomed!" ROFL!

(I still think it's going to be a landslide!)

Thanks to Bush, I can't get her adequate medical attention.

13. To what are you referring?
William Pitt's inspiring "Believe" column? That was one of HOPE not doom. Perhaps another WilliamPitt? Just asking.

17. Fucking A
what is UP with this crap? This is absolutely asinine.

Do Democrats know no middle ground? Wait, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Dem and I know what middle ground looks like, so there must be others.

Why does it have to be LANDSLIDE!!!!! or OMG WE'RE GONNA LOSE SO BAD!!!!!!?????

How about "hey this is looking good, let's keep working hard?"

Sheesh.

23. I doubt I'm insulting him
but I'm also not scared of him, nor do I worship him. He's a guy. A very smart, passionate guy I happen to like and respect, but I don't take kindly to being told what kind of attitude I am "supposed" to have.

I had a few minutes to check DU this morning and I see all these posts telling me how I should feel and what kind of attitude I should project. It's ridiculous.

I'm absolutely exhausted, I've canvassed over 100 houses in the past two weeks, I've phone banked every night, I have no life right now, I'm getting sick, but holding on so I can drive people to the polls on Nov. 2 and I get on here and see that we can't have an upbeat attitude about the coming election. Hell, the upbeat posts here were about the only thing keeping me going the last few days.

33. I feel the same way.. sort of
Exhausted....and dreaming of the victory sigh of relief on Tuesday night after the polls close.. I will be working polls all day on Tuesday, canvassing all day Saturday, making calls on calls.johnkerry.com when at home

When we win, I will probably bawl like a baby! I have been pissed off for four years, and crying since we went into Iraq!

34. You just spoke for me
I can see me crying my head off no matter which way it goes.

One way will be a catharsis and one way will be out of anger and frustration.

I honestly think Kerry is going to win this and not by a razor's edge, either. Not by a landslide, either. ;) But a clear win.

Now. To get back to work!

To victory....

22. How 'bout ... whatever gets you through the night
or more to the point, whatever gets you through the next four days.

Just so long as nobody gives up or lets up, and instead keeps working like the whole future of the free world depends on it, why should anyone else give a shit about their particular attitude towards the thing?

26. I completely agree.
Whatever attitude works for you and keeps you going and working on GOTV, adopt it. If it's "the sky is falling!" have at it. If it's "LANDSLIDE" then do that. Just don't tell me how I'm supposed to feel.

We don't need any more grief or negativism. If you don't have something positive to say, then stuff it. :)

25. Nobody gets a prize...
for being up in October.

NOV 2 IS WHAT MATTERS!!

Momentum is nice, but winning is what matters.

Confidence is nice, but winning is what matters.

We can celebrate long and hard after a few more days. Just keep it up everyone!!

36. Kerry in a Landslide
Vote as if your life depended on it, because it does.

Call 866 687-8683
If Poll Workers refuse you to vote for any reason


When you call the hotline, be prepared to give your name, telephone number, and note as many
details as possible, including the names of the people who are involved.
