Malloy is asking, "What will it take?"

[Ilsa]

I wonder if there isn't some way we can steal their game plan, as in take the independent voters via the morality issue? We could make a moral issue of the environment, fiscal irresponsibility, and how the spoiled rich shit pResident is ruining everything for our children and grandchildren by stealing their future. It doesn't necessarily have to be a religious morality.

Any thoughts?

1. The country is waking up

faster than Malloy realizes.

that said, what will it take? I do not know, civil war?

That is my fear

2. Civil war scares me shitless where I live...

I'm 30 miles from a central group of "Republic of Texas" freeper-types. The locals are ready to lynch the new editor of the newspaper for being a MODERATE of all things. I swear, in 1994, my dh and I and two other people were the only four votes out of 500 for Dems in our precinct. The local opinion section has been obsessed with the Judge Moore Ten Commandments fiasco. We'd have to move or risk being killed.

3. That sucks, but there is hope

You should write a letter complaining about Bush's lack of support for combat pay and veterans benefits. In such a conservative area, that's a good way to get half of them not to show up on election day.

4. A letter to the editor will get me a divorce and ruin my business.

My husband feels the same way, but he doesn't want to listen to all the shitty phone calls we'll get. I also own a small business that will dry up. I've had friends in other conservative towns write letters, and they lived to regret the hassles. It's terrorism, pure and simple.

But I will go work at the local Dem Party, as I've done in the past.
