Back to Reality...There's only one way to defeat Rove --- The Big Truths
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 08:34 PM by Armstead
Okay folks,it looks like the Deus Ex Machina is not going to descend fromn the sky. Fitz seems to have turned out to be "Much Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing."

Karl Rove will continue to be in power. He'll continue to be brilliant and ruthless. He'll continue to practice his Black Magic.

So let's just move on, accepting that reality.

And more important, let's do what we should be doing all along. Fight his lies and distortions with the truth. Instead of trying to co-opt the warped views he espouses, we need to take him on and counter them.

We're no better off and no worse off than we were when this whoie brouhaha started.

Those are the terms of it. Let's not deny it. And let's not wallow in it. This is what we've been up against all along. Today's events just mean we ought to do the same thiugs we ought to do anyway.

And most important, let's breask out of the circular firing squad. Of we want to fight with we should at least fight over things that really matter....

...like Ralph Nader. :evilgrin:

1. But We Lost Again
Will we EVER win? Will things ever go our way?

I don't see much hope. Everytime we get hope, it gets stomped on, Crushed, Obliterated. Why should we expect any different in November? Because things are going our way?

Big Deal. They've been going our way, and going our way, and we're getting Nowhere! We may not be worse off, but the point is, we're not better off. And we've got a Long, Long, Long 2 1/2 years of rule by this administration, and who knows how long of repub rule. Is there any way to break out of it? I'm so fucking tired of getting my hopes up.

3. You need to take a break and get a grip.
medication could help.

Pessimistic and 'woe is me' is a sorry way to go through life.


We need Fighters, not Whiners.

5. I'm curious why Fitzgerald allowed Rove's lie to the press to stay alive
throughout 2004.
