4. Yes, people are very much into what I coin as the.....
"McDonald's Voting Mentality"....wherein they vote like they order burgers from the drive-thru.

5. Relax!
Those swift boat vets just made my husband say he's voting for Kerry and he hasn't voted in the past 2 elections because he felt both parties were worthless!

He is a Vietnam vet who said that he is voting for the veteran and the things Kerry protested about after he got back from the war were true! He respects him for that! The swift boat vets pushed him over the edge to Kerry lastnight!:bounce:

7. I hear you
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 09:28 AM by LibertyChick
I just made the mistake of listening to Brian Lamb's show...three calls in a row:

1. Nut from Michigan who is bitching because they archived Nixon's 'phone calls and are playing them. She calls up and starts ranting about 'why don't you put up Johnson's tapes?!' Rant, rant, rant..."

So they told her that those tapes have long been archived and transcribed and she could listen to them on the 'net if she so desired. That shut her up.

2. Then, a real wing-nut from Alabama who ranted and raved about how Hillary is behind everything for decades (including Watergate) :eyes: and how the Clintons are murderers, yadda, yadda, yadda...

When Lamb and his guest pointed out that Ken Starr could not find any wrongdoing, she came back with , "They could not prove it!" and continued ranting. She also thought Fox News was fair and a good source of information.

3. Then another nut from Florida.

When I hear my fellow moronic Americans call C-SPAN,and hear their loony, ignorant rants, I do not feel better.

12. It sounds to me like at least 2 of those callers were in the tank
for Bush long before Kerry even won in Iowa. They'll be with Bush until frost forms on Hitler's nipples in Hell.

8. Yeah, the word is out....dumb and stupid...
means smart...vote for little bush.

We know better. Little bush is just a snake oil salesman, born a puppet with a silverspoon in his mouth.

9. use logic . . .
- Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000

- 2000 Gore voters will go for Kerry almost 100%, as will MANY 2000 Bush voters

- tons of new voters are being energized by the disaster that is the Bush administration; their motto is ABB (Anybody But Bush)

- many military votes that went to Bush in 2000 will go to Kerry

- many diehard Repugs who can't stand Bush but refuse to vote for a Democrat will simply stay home

and on, and on, and on . . . every indicator suggests that Kerry will not only win, but win big . . . BushCo's only hope is to steal the election outright, which they will most certainly attempt to do . . . however, the Kerry margin may well be large enough to offset even the expected cheating . . .

Kerry will win . . . but that doesn't mean he'll take office . . . these pond scum can and will do anything and everything to remain in power . . . stay tuned . . .

10. The only way to calm a hysteric is to slap them.

11. Some will believe and there is no dealing with a certain percentage
Some will never even hear of the 'swift boat vets'. Some will hear that there are former Nixon plumbers in the swift boat vets group.

Don't panic about what people will hear. Some will hear the truth.

Concern yourself with making sure the votes are counted accurately in your area. That is something you can actually help to do which will make a difference.

If the votes are counted accurately, believe me, there are enough people getting the message out that Kerry will win. The people who are gonna be swayed by BS propaganda are already in the bush* choir, so don't worry about them.

Worry about what can be done, then do it. Best remedy for panic attacks is doing something constructive and surrounding yourself with people who do the same.

13. I like what Janeane Garraffalo said last night on AAR
she said anyone who votes for Bush knowing what we know now..is simply flawed...if you still want to vote for him you have a severe charcter flaw...and i believe that is true...
I think Kerry is going to win though..I have a good feeling...I know there is still time..but people are finding it hard to believe Bush...

its gonna be a drag out fight...but I believe Kerry will be the victor!

14. Kerry will win if we watch the voting.
The junta will try everything to get 4 more years. Their antics prove that no trick is too low.

People, get involved with election judging, poll watching, vote counting at your local level. That is where the final battle in this one takes place. Be there!
