This is the kind of shit I expect from a Saddam Hussein regime, not an American one, but not anymore.

Its a total takover and a totalitarian regime we now have, if you ain't scared shitless, you ain't payin' attention.

What was America called? The beacon of freedom? Especially the Americans always seemed to be so proud to have this "freedom". And now the great majority just doesn't care what's happening? I suppose that people won't miss it that much when you didn't have to fight for it personally.

4. When they come to see what they have done I will be dead.
In my 70's I do not have hope that these crazies will wake up. Not in my life time. Will the Dem. be so scary that they will not do a thing if they get into power? Frankly things move slow and I do not think we will pull our self out to fast. Took years for the Right Wing nuts to come to power and I bet it will be the same for them to leave. Makes one feel shame at being an Am.

3. It's only totalitarian if we succumb to fear
As long as we laugh in their face and speak our mind and go about our business, they fail. I refuse to let this gloom and doom suck the energy out of DU and get in the way of the work of winning in 5 weeks.

Maybe discouraging Dems is Karl's real October Surprise - ever think of that??
