time to close ranks!
i think the banana republicans have proven themselves to be exactly what we know them to be.

banana republicans.

they view the existence of an opposition party as a convenient way to pretend that the system they now have in place is "democracy".
their idea of "bipartisanship" is doing whatever they want, if even one single dino goes along with it.
their idea of "obstruction" is anytime a democrat says anything other than the banana republican party line.

we CANNOT appease them, we CANNOT permit divisions in our ranks to undermine our opposition.
WE MUST FIGHT.
WE MUST BE STRONG.

we must:
(a) fight everything we can
(b) fight it everywhere we can
(c) fight it with EVERY WEAPON IN THE ARSENAL!
that means filibusters!
that means talk shows!
that means parliamentary procedures!
that means massive fund raising -- use direct mail and PANIC people into funding our fight! we must get the red alert out NOW and keep it going until we RESTORE OUR DEMOCRACY!

from now on, DEMOCRATS CAN DO NO WRONG!
if i disagree with this democrat or that candidate or whatever, i will STILL bash the banana republicans and support the democrats EVERY CHANCE I GET!

if someone asks me if kerry should have objected to the electoral fraud, i'll say:
"BUSH should have conceded knowing full well that this election was a sham. the exit polls showed kerry won. bush knows what happened. he should be ashamed of himself. what kind of person knowingly claims victory knowing the people voted against him? he failed to keep us safe, he failed to find bin laden, he failed to get the economy moving, he failed to united us, and he failed to listen to the people who want him OUT of their house. bush should do the right thing and ask his electors to listen to how the people really voted and put john kerry in the white house."

see? that sounds great, and totally puts things where they belong, because it's NOT about what kerry should have done, it's what crimes THEY committed.

always remember that.

use EVERY opportunity to push for OUR team!

our time has come! we are a majority in numbers and simply must organize and defeat the banana republicans!
fight every office!
fight every vote!
fight every initiative!
fight!
fight!
FIGHT!

7. I'm waiting for the DNC Chairman selection....
but that may be too late if they choose old blood? Should we be thinking of who we want running the party?

I also think we should organize all the progressive forums and blogs and put a full court press on the DNC and DLC to give us leadership with cajones, not special interests.

8. I agree wholeheartedly.......But
we really need someone out on point!

There's so many battles to fight...I'm not trying to be a buzz-kill, here...but I think the Banana's set this "Political War" up so it'll be like this...confussion, distraction, misinformation...man it makes me sick!!

But we've gotta stand firm...no appeasement...No RETREAT Baby, NO SURRENDER!!
